I planned out the spacers and screws needed to secure the hood vents...
will machine up the spacers tomorrow...

Tomorrow I’ll mount the ground effects package pieces to the bottom of the box...

The only other thing to do will be order new badges.
Tonight, maybe.

It’s almost done.
Dang is that clean

As hoped, I got the rest of the pieces installed today.
She’s looking pretty good for an old truck 😉

I’ll order the badges tonight (he says as he rolls his eyes).

I kinda like the 'clean' look, with no badges. Spend the money somewhere else. (take the wife out for dinner. )

LOL. Ok, I concede to the 'happy marriage' argument.

Finally got the new wires, cap and rotor in. I forgot what a PITA it is to reach that distributor cap with the intake on. Wires had some gunk but looked mostly ok, cap had some minor corrosion. Drove fine after the work, but it also drove fine on the two hour trip the day before. Now I guess I wait for the rain to see if I fixed the problem.

I could send you some of ours...... I have ponds forming in my yard..... One of 'em, I actually expect, and isn't really a surprise, the other three though.... They only show up when we get a LOT rain...... I think this is the fourth time I have seen them in the seven years I have lived here.

And yes, the distributor is a major pain to get to...... One of the reasons I wanted the V-10. No distributor.
