I drove it for the first time in 2 years and drove it right up a Uhaul hauler. Hauled it to a shop to get the rear suspension redone.

The wife and I drove it to the coast. 2 hour trip and it ran really good. The tranny got a little hot and some fluid came out the vent. When I got home I installed a large trans cooler that I have been meaning to install. Maybe it will help.

I de-accelerated it. The RPMs were going through the roof everytime I put her into park. I also had to recharge the battery again. I haven't driven it in two weeks.

I bought a set of full width axles from a '77 F-150 for $500 & I talked the guy into throwing in the p/s box to convert as a spare 4x4x2!

I got more done today than I have in 2 months. I got my new BC 23 gallon tank installed along with the BC EFI throttle cable.

Just a side note for you guys who are using the explorer throttle body and BC's throttle cable. It wont bolt up like the instructions say...I had to weld mine. Works like a charm though.

Yesterday I pulled the drivers side head off and cleaned my engine compartment. Today I am putting the new Edelbrock head on bolting everything back up and touching up the paint on inside. Next weekend new intake and carb and putting it all back together again.

Found my lost carb jet, so I got my freshly rebuilt carb mounted up. I made up my fuel line from the carb to filter with Aeroquip socketless hose. I also made up and routed my starter cable. Not much i know, but it's progress.

Welded in the fender wells, aligned the core support and finally got the hood and fender gaps right. A little more welding, then soda blast, prime and paint. Can hardly wait.
