Pete M

I've got no kids and I'm not a priest, so father pete sounds weird.

after fighting with a set of knockoffs I got some injectors from 3 ford expeditions (the front 2 are super easy to pull) so I knew I'd get factory stuff.

on a side note, I've got 2 nephews now, but there are way more kids out there that call me Uncle Pete these days. all my friends' kids, my cousins' kids, and the entire class of my 4 year old godson (there's a chorus of "Uncle Pete's here!" every time I pick him up from preschool). as I tell people when they get confused why non-related kids use that moniker, it's a job description.

he actually bought his first car last year. it's a GMC Acadia that came into the repair shop he's been "volunteering" at. owner didn't want to pay for repairs (blown transmission) and he ended up buying it for near nothing (dad helped with that and the repair bill) and has since been slowly paying dad back. a very non-recent photo of him next to the wrangler I built up for him

I love covers. take something I know and shake it up and make it your own.

man, I wish my Jeeps gave me a christmas present of an "easy chore".

hopefully none. it runs along the outside down by the switch it activates.

messaging requires one public post first, so you should be able to now. (it's an anti-bot measure)

don't throw away the old radio, especially if it was made in Japan. chances are it can be repaired down the road

what went wrong with the old one?

I think it was my grandpa's Grand Marquis that had that? it was pretty sweet!

classic trucks come with classic problems

how is a replacement block going to fix the poor running issues? what were your compression numbers?

and on the second day of leftovers, my true love gave to me...

happy leftovers day!

get what you can get while you can get it. then worry about getting the stuff you can't yet get.

don't remember the cutoff, but there are long ones and short ones. that measurement pairs with how far the clips are apart above the mirror.

after a single public post the private messages open up to you. after 10 total posts the classifieds do the same. apologizes for any inconvenience, it's an anti-spam measure.

happy turkey day!! do remember to leave your bird on the grille until it comes up to engine operating temperature for thorough doneness.

great to see it on the road again!

in my old 85.5 Escort you pulled the stalk towards you for washer fluid and click it up for wipers. they were completely separate functions. this allowed you to soak the salt/ice/bug covered windshield til your heart's content before ever engaging the wipers.

that's why I dropped the tank. much easier to do on the ground rather than up in the truck.
