What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Walked past it
Pulled the steering wheel off and began reassembling everything onto the new-to-me reman steering column. Hope I get the sequence right; don’t want to have to disassemble to any degree because this had to go in before that! Took some pics… should help (fingers crossed)
Made good progress on reassembling the steering column today…. Until I got to the horn switches, that is! I seem to be missing 2 springs and 1 tiny little washer. Looked everywhere 47 times and nowhere to be found :-(
So, found a replacement set on eBay Motors. Be here in 5-7 days. Bit of a hiccup but after this long it’s not much more to ask. At least I feel (or got to feel briefly) that the hard part’s over and I’m in the home stretch.
Somebody queue up Guns & Roses’ song “Patience “!!

You always find things the last place you look.

not much changing plugs on my 97 F150 4x4Dam fuel rail is right on top of the coils
These are the original plugs first time going
My father never did them
Lots of miles and years on the plugs

True! Well, mostly anyway. I found one of the 2 springs I lost and the tiny washer. Still missing one spring, but Murphy’s Law almost reared its familiar head. I’m sure I’ll find the other spring now that I’ve ordered parts to replace them!You always find things the last place you look.
Pulled the trigger and swapped engines!
Got the 331 installed and it runs great. Gonna schedule some dyno time soon to see if this intake makes more power than the Edelbrock RPM2 (box stock) that I had previously on this engine in my other car.

I’m day 3? 4? Of road tripping the ole Poncho, made it to the North Carolina coast today. Here’s a pic from Sunday, thrashing the car on the Tail of the Dragon lol
Little more info about the car…If you please! And maybe a handful of pictures inside & out?? Fond memories of yesteryears land yachts with that classic rear end squat!
Rolling burnouts?? That’s some impressive power! OMG

It has a really nice lope to it. Badass for sure.
Spent the day yesterday resealing the V10 since it needed to come out to address broken exhaust studs. Thing still looks pretty mint internally with 306k miles on it.
Gave it a dirty look.
+1 ^ Shook my head at it and then cursed at it for good measure! LOL

A few weeks back I won a $100 gift card to Hanlon Motorsports, used that to get a Stiffler’s driveshaft safety loop. Install was easy since I already had their crossmember too.
Really been thinking a lot lately about getting a TKX after discussing it with them. The lil T5 has been hanging in there but I’m afraid to beat on it too hard and get left stranded lol.
