well fordsy your steering wheel came in today, cheers,

didn't put it on yet cuz i wanted to take it for another spin, whenever its been a week or two i start to get the shakes haha

got new pics with the foglights, and even a thrashing video

please dont get me wrong, i treat this thing like a baby, but everynow and then u gotta just let your right foot fall [:x)]



















how can i test if my alternator is operating well without a meter? all my electrics work fine, but it always wants a jumpstart to get it running.

my valvetrain is still very loud too? (yes, it was loud with the old cam too. any ideas? my rocker doesnt have a baffle plate inside it, well it has something but i dont think it woudl do d!ck.

you'll find with any pinto running large valve clearances due to a large cam that they will tend to be noisy, rocker covers made from thicker material will be able to help make the noise less audible, but can be expensive and hard to come by these days
if theyre noisy least you know you haven't set them to tight!

cheers mate, ill have to explain that to the inspector because he asked about it.

tell him a slappy tappet is a happy tappet :)

thats a nice phrase, i like that one.

i should get off my ass and look into the wiring diagram as to see if ive wired my alternator correctly. because i dont think i did.

either that or the alternator is dead.

hmm well it seems to be working, maybe i just wasn't driving it enough.

any progress Sterling? how's the roady coming along?
