Got a couple things done before snow starts flying. After I rebuilt the front end there was still a ton of slop in the steering which I found out was a totally smoked gear box and rag joint. Replaced the rag joint and swapped a low mile box I had laying around and it's MUCH better. Also super easy, took all of 45 minutes.
Also had fuel leak in the valley i've been battling ever since I put it together. The primary filter would not seal no matter what I did and I believe the housing is just warped. I decided to just get rid of for now and run the secondary. Going to order a universal housing and mount on the firewall near the factory secondary.
