well,today was such a beautiful day today. I got a little bit to work on ol clifford. I had the main fuel filter bracket cut out from before. I mocked it up and tried it on the truck and built a couple fuel lines. IF my fittings had come like they should have friday. I would have had it all welded on and plumbed. I am going to wait because there is a compression that will need installed before I weld the bracket to the frame.

THis is what a black fuel filter with bad injector o-rings looks like next to a clean good o-ring filter that came out of my old bowl assy...just for those that have not actually seen the difference.

I had really hoped to knock the front axle inner seals out today.

But I went with a buddy to the machine shop and got to see some dyno pulls and some cool engine parts. was a good day and maybe tomorrow more happening.

Don't worry. I had hoped to pull the OBS in the shop for an oil change, fuel filter change, new oil pressure switch, air filter, and mix up some water methanol so I could go for a last hoorah at the track tonight. I ended up in Houston helping a friend load a skid steer he bought and wound up playing on that a few hours when we got home. The only thing I did to the OBS was change the oil pressure switch. No track time for me tonight. Doing an injector job with Cody instead. Lol

I feel you there. I ended early so I could go help a buddy drop the engine back into his mom-in-laws cougar.

But he is the buddy that did the five oh heads for the bronco.Its a two way street and I had to go help out.
