I emptied my air compressor into the air bags in the rear springs on the Wagon and drove it to Home Depot. It felt like driving downhill the whole way there until I slammed it back down with nearly 1,000 pounds of concrete for a honey-do project.

I have a set of 2.5" 14*300# coil overs just for that lol
 
Spent money I shouldn’t have to finally get a windshield washer jug although for 12 dollars shipped on eBay I couldn’t pass it up at least it isn’t in a million pieces like mine.

Will probably buy hardware soon and make spacers so I can make my a/c work and will probably adjust my fast idle and possibly choke and hope it doesn’t mess up my carb tune so I can start the car again without having to rev it a few times to keep it from dying until it idles.

Also will have to pull my “fixed” lock relay and actually learn to solder it decided to stop working again though probably only temporarily because it’s done it before.

Did a mileage calcuation: 24.8mpg; I'll take it! That's about 70/30% highway/city with a few "push-to-pass" incidents. It really pisses me off that I can only get 19-20 on "winter" pump piss.


Best I have gotten with my l67 F bird is 26-27 going 73 in early spring on the interstate about 7 hours. Pure highway, no AC. That is with a cam headers exhaust and 60lb injectors at the time.

I don't know how GTP and regal GS guys get the 30+ they claim, if the FWD are that more efficient or if they are that slippery?
 
#WeTheNorth???....The Raptors have 1 Canadian player on the team. The Saint Louis Blues have 21 Canadians players on their Stanley Cup team .....🤔

That just means that Lord Stanley only visits the US, and lives in Canada. We just have a Cousin Larry visiting now too.


Having one Canuck on an NBA team is a pretty big deal; it is usually none.
 
Pulled a couple Saginaw pumps off the shelf and tore them apart. Both reservoirs look usable with minimal dents in them but they have different return line shapes. The one on the right is a little better than the other and I think after some Evapo-Rust and paint it'll look new. The one pump itself is pretty sloppy, but the other seems rebuildable. I have it soaking in chem dip now, I'll get it disassembled and buy a kit for it maybe this weekend. Also they had two different pulley sizes. Wonder if I should use the bigger or smaller pulley?

Okay, maybe there were more "push to pass incidents"? I don't know: i think i've only squeaked 26 at best. When I was building this thing, I researched the GVWR, and a crew cab G is technically 11lbs lighter than a 4th gen F-body with a 3800. I must have a lead foot.....

In the process of installing the UMI front UCAs on the wagon. So far it looks promising.
