killing time till it warms up outside

Post by motormount1 »

i moved into a smaller house after i got married less than a year ago. now i have more time and money for my truck. i have had my motor rebuilt,i redid the cooling system and put a bigger 3 row raiiator in it and i dont have points anymore or a generator anymore or all those wires under the hood anymore.and yesterday i got the new carburator for it in the mail. if you look at my pictures ive got a long hoses on it thats lets the water flow unresricted to and from the raidator. that was not a mistake.the motor runs about 10 to 15 dgreese cooler now.and i got a new carburator yesterday that i needed badly.i still have a little bit more to do to it but im tryn to do this by my self, because im handi capped, i was in a wheelchair now i walk with a walker wich makes it easer now and it seems to be going by faster now. so if any one out there is handi capped and has a old truck that wants to fix it up,go ahead if you are like me all of those pepole that said i would never do it, dont even talk to me anymore think i might of pissed them off by proven them wrong. i learnd how to do motors,elctrical systems,brake,and standard and some automatic transmiton work, and it looks like ill go to my grave with greese on my hands.

Alot of times on the radiator hose the hose bend will be above the radiator causing a small air pocket to be trapped making the truck run hotter.
Motormount you have been busy lately, you are making me want to brave the cold and work on my truck.

Jim, my hats off to you, you are an inspiration to all of us Slick owners.
As my dad used to say, somewhere there was a horse that died a painful death from terminal constipation due to missing a key part of its anatomy.
