haha, A/C is required in Canada? **** that global warming

There was that one day last summer when the weather was warm. The snow melted and I was able to find my toque on the seat of my SKI DOO, where I left 'er a year b'fur. Cool, EH? http://toque.ca/ Today, AMAZON have the best price at $660.07 CAD and NAPA Canada are asking $1565 for the same tool. As soon as I get my toque on and my head defrosts I will call Amazon.

Nikki, I got stuff to do, and you go posting a link to a site like that... How do you expect me to get anything done?

I just watched a video of the EASTWOOD flare tool. That Eastwood tool appears to be very well designed and priced at a fraction of the MASTERCOOL. Good deal.

Rigged up a bracket for the brake switch. This switch came in a kit that is also used unlock the torque converter. It actually works out real nice. I got that all installed this weekend.

I also fixed a leak at the oil pressure sending unit that showed up after running it for a bit. Also, i rebuilt my power steering lines so they no longer leak. Finally, tightened up a few clamps to keep the antifreeze from leaking. Good news, the transmission cooler lines did not leak

So, i really have to get my wheels and tires ordered and then the rear end and suspension. And i can start fabbing up the exhaust system.

Wait until you get a hold of these new digital bluetooth refrigerant gauges. They are so nice to use and no more guessing if you are charged right anymore. Used the heck out of mine last summer for many hours at a time. Sends your recordings right to your printer.

With some help from my brother in law this weekend, we built the exhaust pipes. Routing around the steering linkage, oil filter, trans, starter.....wasnt as bad as what i was thinking it was going to be. Since i dont really have anything to bend pipes, I just bought an assortment of mandrel bent pipe pieces and cut them appropriately to get the angles i needed. The pics arent the greatest, but you get the idea.

I'll end up wrapping some of that stuff...like around the starter to keep it from getting heat soaked

SBC music at its best. Now, I am really inspired to get at finishing my nonIHC and making a video.
Thanx for the push. .
Who is that guy in the cap?
