Passed state safety inspection and was emissions exempt again, only put on 1,064 miles over the last year sadly, so Im now at 108,613 miles. I plan on driving it like crazy this year but stay under 5,000 miles so Im emissions exempt.

Front brakes and wanted to address a slight coolant leak at the TB. Turned out to be a project, of course.

Two of the three screws broke off







A little sandblasting



Tried to torch it and use some vice grips to break it free, but that didn’t work out.



Then, I ghetto welded a nut to the rest of the screw with brass





Oh em geee, Yay!

Completed cooling system overhaul started a few weeks ago. Flushed system, drained, and installed new radiator, water pump, all hoses, fan clutch. While I was in there, I changed the timing belt, v-belts, plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor.

Tomorrow I will flush out any remaining dirty water, fill up with coolant, purge any air, and go for a ride. Fingers crossed it will start.

Up next, MMO, an oil change shortly thereafter, and a new oil level sender unit.

That is the perfect stance IMO :up:

Agreed - going to drive it for a bit to let the suspension settle and decide if I want to raise the rear very slightly or leave it as is.

Also going to depend on what my new wheel / tire combo will be.

Finally got around to flushing my brake fluid, which looked like diesel oil lol. Flushing the fluid weirdly fixed two problems that recently popped up.

My batt would come on when I started the car and would stay on until I revved it up to ~1000 rpm. When I first saw this I tested the alt and it would charge at ~14v while the light was on. Also, my brake fluid light would intermittently come on. After the flush, neither have come back on...
