Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

No pics but... decided to disconnect the heater core rather than use the manual shut off valve.... I looked at it and figured even if I have the valve on the engine block side, hot water could still flow from the radiator side into the core and thus into the cab. So I ran from the block to the radiator and left the heater core disconnected. Doubt I'll ever need the heat in FL even in Dec/Jan....

A/C seems to run a whole lot better now.... big test will be running down to Daytona Buccee's tomorrow for a C10 Club FL meet.

Dash lights are all working now too... LED's for illumination, 194 incandescent for the idiot lights.

After the next two events, carb will go to National Carburetors for rebuild. They say 10 days max, and I'm local so... fingers crossed it'll be quick.

Went to the inaugural Caffeine & Octane here in Jax on Saturday. Very cool.
