    $3000 for that? ElSuperPinto is in better shape, has a documented history, and comes with a truckbed full of extra parts and isn't selling for $3500. He needs to lay off the meth pipe.

    Oil question on a GM Diesel

    The 3.0 has a belt-driven variable-displacement oil pump. You don't want to run a heavier oil than that system is designed for.

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Right now, I'm doing really well at selling parts out of my stash (stuff not intended for this car). If if isn't gone by the end of the year, it will get parted out and I'll probably make more than I was asking for the whole car. That's what happened to the '74 and the '76. Hell, I tried to GIVE...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Why is selling a II so damned difficult? There's my ad on the Book o' Faces. An ad where I clearly state that this car is a project, that it's modified, that is has issues, and provide 20 pictures AND A VIDEO of the car detailing its condition. Yet I get numbskulls like this genius from...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    ElSuperPinto is still around for now. I've had another idiot want to make payments on it, and another guy make an almost-tempting offer to trade a 1995 Kawasaki Vulcan for it. I haven't even had a single person actually show up to look at it, even after lowering the price multiple times and...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    I actually had a Craigslist idiot message me today asking if I'd take monthly payments. I told him "sure, with a $4500 down payment". :rlaugh:

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    I've dropped the price a few times, and haven't had anyone actually show up to look at it. I get the odd message or email about it, but that's it. If it doesn't sell whole soon, I'll part the bastard out.

    Fitting a Milodon 8-qt oil pan

    I've been asked before what it takes to fit the Milodon 8-qt oil pan into a II. The answer, surprisingly, isn't much. The first thing you need to do is ensure you're running a low-profile intake manifold and air cleaner, unless you want to cut the hood. Then you will need to replace the stock...

    JRichker -- Rest in Peace

    He will definitely be missed. Hell, I'm ASE-certified and working for a dealership and STILL referenced his resources when someone would bring a pre-OBD-II Ford with EFI to me.

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Amazon's vehicle filter is about as reliable as a BMW. It also doesn't know about the Milodon 8qt oil pan that makes it impossible to run the original starter. I warrantied out the Advance Auto Parts P3205 (which happens to be for the same application that starter is supposed to be for, 1993...

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00R1FEUKI?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Word to the wise, don't order that starter, the holes are mis-drilled and it won't fit. :fuss:

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Even getting rid of it can't go without a hitch. Went to start it to pull into the shop and get more pics and shoot video of it... and the damned starter just clicked and clicked and clicked... It finally turned over on the eighth try. I ordered a new starter from Amazon that should be here...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Yes, ElSuperPinto is really for sale. No, I will not be talked out of it. That hospital stay screwed up my financial situation immensely, and while the girlfriend and I are selling her Ranger and Avalon, the majority of the money from those will (rightfully) be hers, and I need more funds to...

    Hey now, the Aerostar was amazing pre-nose-job. Of course I could just think that because my mom had one from 1992-2002 and growing up it was my own personal Starfleet Type 6 Shuttlecraft.
