North East SSoM Members!!!

they have 93 Octane at the intersection of RT 111 and 35. Not that it will help you. There are places out there with 93. I would say look at what the Shell stations near you are carrying.
Oh by the way this message is coming from Ochos Rios, Jamaica. Loving the weather here!:banana: Seeing that ice in the background of that pic makes me not want to come back. But checking the weather up there it looks like about 60 degrees in the next day or two
 
Thanks for coming over today fred, was good to see you again it had been almost 5 years. Really appreciated the help and made some good progress. I'll give you a heads up once its ready to have the headers on for good and finally started.
 
well glad you brought some warm weather back with you bryan. Finished up the rear end today and torqued everything down and put the calipers and rotors back on. One if the brake fittings is giving me trouble going back in, its the one that runs off the top of the housing and connects under the body to the brake lines. It wont thread back in, I got it off so I know it will go back in but it wont thread into it and its not stripped. I'll figure it out the next time I'm out there working on it.
 
I tried adjusting the angle I had it at but it did not seem to make a difference. I think I took it off w/ the impact gun b/c it was such a PITA to get off but I dont want to force it back on w/the gun. I'll just try it w/ the air ratchet next time
 
speaking of guns I got a new one. Got a M10 7.62x39. Cleaned it up yesterday but have yet to try it out. Got 1k rounds showing up tomorrow and will try it out next weekend. Love to try it out with a slide fire stock.
 
thats pretty nice. Got the brake line fitting in so now the rear end is fully installed minus the rear end fluid that I have not yet put in, picked up some Amsoil. Still need to install the driveshaft and set the pinion angle but I'll do that once it gets warm out again. Should be sending the headers out to be coated next week and they take 7-10 days to get sent back.
 
went through 60 rounds of ammo this afternoon. Poly coated steel case Russian ammo worked great. No problems other than finding a bunch of ticks crawling on me. After being in the woods/brush for a hour I found one tick that had already started burrowing into my skin. Had to pluck that one off. Hate those little bastards! Think I found 10 to 11 of them.
 
already had one of those in the house this year. The dog goes out into the woods a lot. Filled the rear end with some AMSOIL today. Tomorrow I'll reattach the drive shaft and attempt to set the pinion angle. At least then I can put the rear wheels back on.
 
Headers were sent out this past week to get coated. I have to redo the upper control arms I screwed them up when installing them. Basically have to unbolt the bottoms and re adjust them all over again. When we put them in we set the length of the control arms the same as the stock ones but what we didn't know is that you have to screw both ends of the control arm all the way in, and then adjust the length by spinning the center section while not allowing either end to turn until the proper length is found, install them and then adjust the pinion angle from there.
