What did you do to your dime today?

[Skib]

gossome of these yesterday;

 

[Mesh-71]

I fixed my heater valve sort of, at least as good as it is going to get till I get some foam and tear the heater apart to re-seal. I also figured out why my wipers did not work, I need to work the motor over, or replace with a 626 wiper motor, and the wiper pivots are frozen, I'll start on them tomorrow.

 

Also found my oil leak, need to get the right adapter for the oil pressure line

 

Anybody know what the block side threads are for the oil pressure gauge? 1/8BSP?

[DISLEXICDIME]

I tried to get a wrx to race me after he blew his blow off valve at me but he chickened out after I blew mine back

[hang_510]

so i finally got around to pulling my head out, i mean off... #2-confirmed!

no chunks found???

head undamaged.

did find a few pieces of the oil ring on the magnetic drain plug

 

 

 

already have the next Z24 block prepped.

[nukeday]

Drove it around the block :)

[metalmonkey47]

Helped a friend pull the brakes off his today :)

Painting tomorrow!

[benzo]

started it up and drove it around for a while to get the juices flowing

[JDM510]

got a new set of rear shocks... OMG what a diff.. the ones on my car where the ones from 1971!!!!

 

 

this thing can launch now.. and the dodge d50 springs cut 1 coil with kyb gr2s is a pretty good combo!!!

Welded stuff, primered stuff, sanded stuff.

[jonesy510]

You are just jealous.

Well, I rebuilt my wiper motor, and fixed the hacked wiring, it comes on and off with the switch, and parks like it is supposed to. Now I just have to find some new wiper pivots or get mine to free up, got them soaking in my oil drain pan right now.

 

Going to start on the trunk repair tomorrow, the 510 got in a fight with my bronco over the winter and lost. :(

[inline4]

I've gotta undo some of my "this is only temporary" setups. since the car isn't turning over, I'm gonna start with the wiring. I need to do it properly (which means the first time I have to figure out how to do it, so I can redo it again)

 

here's the new KA wiring that I'm doing on the car. its the first time I crimped these D type connectors, so I'm probably going to buy another to redo it. haha

 

 

I ran out of relay harnesses, so you'll have to use your imagination. there's another one thats going to be plugged in, I'm gonna wire the fuel pump relay closer to the pump.

Finally addressed the low rear end on my 510. I pulled the rear springs and installed a new set of tall isolators, and used the tops of the old isolators (which weren't as bad as I thought they were) as spacers.

 

Before:

 

 

After:

 

 

From the rockers to the ground, it's pretty close to being level from front to back:

 

I know that some people like the slammed look, but I didn't like how low the rear was. I think it looks much better now.
