Maybe she loves me after all!

just a rant for today.

So i changed the edelbrock 750 carb with a 750 holley dp carb. Now the car idles like shit. I hate the adjustments as per holley for my engine.
I got smoke coming out of the breathers, i did not have that last year

I forgot to turn the fan and water pump on. so next thing i see is fluid coming out the overflow tank! thank god i saaw that first. car got to 215, and then i shut it down and cool her down.

tryied to figure out why the car was soooooo hard to start. f'ing trans was in gear, and it would start and immediately die. thank god i figured that out before i fried the clutch

just a shit luck day.

Sat i am going to change all the fluids: oil, trans, replace antifreeze with straight water and water wetter. and see if she is happier, i guess i should have down that before i tried to start her again from the winter.

I am now going to eat my self into a food coma!

carry on!

So after 2 good days of car stuff (friday night drags and saturday car show) I get up sunday to do something the wife wants to do. Wine festival or something wine related. Before I get out of bed I see my cell phone has an update. I install it. Phone becomes completely unusable. I think... "well, after my shower maybe it will be all set." So I hop in the shower. Its cold. Something with the hot water tank is kaput. I stumble into the garage to get a look. Smash the hell out of my toe moving the dumpster, denting the toe nail into a neat "W" shape. About this time I'm having a discussion with our Lord and Savior.

By 3pm I had taken my cell phone to Verizon so they could wipe it and reload the OS, installed a new thermocouple on the water tank and wrapped up my toe. Went to a winery with the wife and got LIT.

now that you mention that.................

oh and to everyone else. the car is on four jackstands. it is not on the ground.....if it was on the ground i would have had the shifter on the car and new the ccar was in gear real fast!

ok, its all fixed. car starts with just a tap of the start button now! all the starting problems are fixed. car is running like a dream right now. trans prob was pure stupidity on my part! twice, not once but twice missed the shifter cup in the trans. so the shifter ball was holding it in gear. so after my buddy took it apart for the third time we got it right and it was a "thank God" moment! we were cnvinced that something was wrong with the trans, when i convinced him to take it off and look at it! So much better now

so went to the garage today to just see if yesterday was a fluke. so i hooked the battery back up. turned on the fuel pump, turned on the ignition and tapped the start button.....vroom vroom!

seems the gremlins are gone!

now i gotta hook the exhaust back up and add turn signals so i can pass inspection.

Frank you got the exhaust back on yet if not what you waiting on get to it you don't need no stinking turn signals for the track stay off the streets you know them cops like to pull you over

JIM

APPARENTLY THE GREMLINS ARE BACK! FIGURED IT OUT, BUT THE STARTER IS GETTING REPLACED AGAIN! IDIOT GAVE ME AN AUTO STARTER INSTEAD OF A MANUAL STARTER. WORKED FOR A FEW STARTS TILL THE TEETH WHICH ONLY TOUCHED 1/4 IN THE RING GEAR TILL IT ROUNDED ALL THE TEETH OFF THE STARTER. NEW ONE SHOWS UP ON THURSDAY FOR ANOTHER INSTALL. I THINK THIS MAY BE NUMBER 7!

Frank

I LOVE your Avatar!

it took a sec for the pic to load, then i almost spit out my ice tea! lol

finally the RIGHT starter! no she really loves me! fixed the starter, redid the alt mounting, put the mufflers back on......video quality blows, but it was all i had today with me was a laptop and a webcam
