That was before I put her to sleep.
They fired the engine for the first time today, "sounded great", apparently, quiet exhaust. But there's one bug and it's my fault, I cross threaded the new lower transmission line at the new radiator, OH NOOOOOOOOOO!
Irony is I hated that (*^)(^ radiator anyway. It came with straps, I didn't know they were structural so I cut them off
but would of anyway because they're so ugly. After I installed it I found a OE replacement without the straps. So tonight I ordered the radiator, and new *&*^ trans. lines too. Can't wait to install the lines
, was much easier without the body.
I may have fired up the engine a pinch tonight
It runs, the choke isn't set yet, nor is the carb tuned up, I have to install the radiator first. At least I get the radiator I want, $750 later with towing
.
I just checked the electrical components, radio and such for the first time, everything golden. The radio works like new, it's picking up two stations clearly, which is a surprise due I'm in a valley proving to be a problem to satellites even. My C20 doesn't pick up anything with clarity, from anywhere
Long and short of it, with the coming Holidays and time away, I may not see this road worthy until about Christmas. Edit, pretty easy really. I pulled the radiator, condenser and such in short order. New lines are in the mail.
