Tested my Voltage Regulator and it was sweet :D So I just replaced this... Oh...finally swapped grilles too...the old one is reallt nice...polished stainless in very good shape. I was just feelin a change. This one came from a 1969 truck. I love the larger bars than my 1971 grille... Quote Link to comment

wildmaninid Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Last night was good for the 620. Pulled in the shop and had a few hours to my self with no wife/kids and started cleaning up my HID wiring, put in my new NGK plugs and NGK wire set now that i got the empi carb all dialed in and running how it should i needed to get the fouled plugs out of there. I stripped the air pump and a bunch of emissions crap off of there in preperation of getting the air ports on the exhaust plugged off. My buddy and me went in halfsies on a roll of professional window tint a while back. Well he called and said it showed up so it was an impromptu window tint session on the truck!! Tinted her 20% all around and I am going to do a tint drop once i get my new windshield in!! It was so great to give the longbox some love before she gets parked for the snow season.
