Making small gains, parts are my main hold up, but putting in work.

One bolt a day if needed.

Exactly JG. I am almost through wiring up run stand, waiting on a couple of parts, one for power steering pump and fittings for trans.

 

[tasker]

Get the fitting yet?

 

[fordguy]

Get the fitting yet?

Yes, sent you a pm, thanks again.

Most of the jackass moves on my 68 I may have played a hand at. I used a piece of heater hose with a wire tie in it to repair a radius arm bushing once hunting near grand junction. I forgot about till about a year later.

 

[fordguy]

Going to get a battery and transmission fluid tomorrow, should be cranking on it about Wednesday.

 

[fordguy]

Didn’t meet schedule, got a call from spry in foam guy to get shop ready for insulation on open rafters. This will allow me to cool the shop and work more hours when we hit High humidity/heat.

 

[tasker]

well? any updates?

 

[fordguy]

None, cleaning up the mess and wiring up some new lights, bronco work resumes again tomorrow. With a little luck Saturday morning should be an easy target to crank on it. Did buy a cheap battery from Walmart.

Awesome... Keep at it.

 

[fordguy]

will Check everything in the morning, fuel lines are tight, fuel pump is wired and all grounds are in place. Thinking of just looping the In-N-Out lines for trans, because once it starts, I will check for leaks but not run it very long , will that be ok? Still undecided on transmission lines. It is a 4r70

 

[JeepGuy]

You shouldn't have a problem doing that with the trans lines for start up. Only eliminating the cooling side of things. I wouldn't go driving it anywhere like that though.. lol.

Everything but a few ignition wires and computer. Gas and water, starter is keyed and working. I have a thread on my ignition questions. What water did we decide is best for aluminum rad and iron block?

 

[fordguy]

Update: cranking and firing, but no fuel in the line yet. Have to help a buddy tomorrow, but will get back on it and figure fuel out. Thanks for the encouragement and support so far.

 

[tasker]

YOU GOT THIS!!!

 

[fordguy]

YOU GOT THIS!!!

Having issues with injectors and coils not firing. Bigger problem is I can’t get my wireless reader to connect to my iPhone to troubleshoot, and the company I bought it from sucks for customer support. I have FORScan lite and an odb2limnk Mx+ reader. Anybody using something else?
