Nice lookin’ Chevy!
I’ve got a 1998 Ford Explorer 4x4 complete with a few dents and a little rust here and there.
Bought it used two years ago and it’s now 99.99% road worthy. Great for deer hunting and weekend home project hauling.
I’ve got about $3K in it after repairs.
That’s an old photo.
Glad you like it.
I have the hood and fenders off, heavy GM cancer in places.
It runs ok. Cooling system and 4bbl replacements are next.
After posting that like to the smugmug gallery, the hit counter went from a hundred or so to a little over a thousand as of this morning.
I was going to change it’s long overdue oil. The first obstacle was a stuck filter that I finally got removed. I shot the base area with Kroil and bumped it with a filter wrench.
There was a new but not unexpected problem. The oil flowed like water and smelled of gasoline. At some point the fuel pump was going to go. It looked ancient.
I had one in a box but the original has a vent line. Mr. search engine found one that has what looks like all the fittings.
It is an elderly quadrajet sitting on top of that 350. I think someone used threadlocking compound. That fitting holding the filter simply would not give. Eventually I got it apart destroying the old fuel line. I have a new one from LMC already.
LMC has an Edelbrock that should go right on. Pricey though. There are remain quads that are a little cheaper.
I had an extra Fram filter that got spun on to cover that filter area. A Baldwin is on hand and was going to be put on anyway.
I sent this up to youtube from a master clip I just found tucked away on another drive. My half disassembled CJ7 now.
It’s a speed effect with some royalty free music. Originally, it’s three minutes of slowness.
