Weekend recap:
Friday:
mounted new tires. Sumitomo Encounter HT 235/85R16 on freshly painted rims.

Saturday:
Had the running board offs for body mounts. Sand blasted and painted rockers and the bottom part of the doors. Drilled holes in running board brackets I welded together. Installed running boards. Set dwell, played with timing. Installed starter heat wrap. Not sure if it was the timing or the heat wrap, but it made an incredible difference.

Sunday:
Installed a new heater core.

A/F gauge seems to be reading leaner than usual. Not sure if I got an exhaust leak, or if it is just because of the fluctuating temperatures.
