I strated it up and moved it 10' forward in the Garage, so my Wife could get to the Paint Supplies.
Then I moved it BACK!:uhmk:

I took my truck for a little drive and a mini photo shoot... and then to get lunch where it left me stranded at the local Smokehouse Parking Lot... $40 tow home and a lot of swearing at the distributor didn't do much to brighten my day... I've already replaced the Cap, Rotor, Module, and the Coil a few weeks ago... It ran fine since until yesterday when I just don't get any spark at all... so I'm pretty much at a loss here. I'm thinking it's time to go for the Gold and get myself one of those Skip White HEI's and hopefully be done with the issue.
Here are a couple of the Pics I shot... at least those turned out ok...

All the pics were taken with an iPhone Camera so quality isn't stellar... The first pics were taken with an app that gives it that Vintage look... Pretty Cool in my opinion...

Helped my brother replace the front seal on the a/c compressor on his '95 4 by 4.

After we got the seal in we filled it with R-134 and it cooled great.

Before that I was building some shelves in my wife's sewing room.

Something I have not done since Thanksgiving, touch it. I spent the day cleaning the shop up some, but hoping to get more hands-on this week while I am off.

Well combonation between yesterday and today. Yesterday pulled the seat and gas tank out of the 72. The tank was half full of old gas and full of pin holes, pulled the sending unit out to see about saving it, looks like a big NO. Today we pulled the dog house off the 70 'burb. Trying to make it easier on myself taking the transmission crossmember out to swap it into my 67.

I think I cracked the piston or broke a ring. Too much blow by and runs rough. Pulled it out and waiting on a GF to come over and pick which motor to put back in.
