So haven't had much time to play with the truck lately. However, here's what's on the horizon:
1. Ordered a set of Speed bleeders
2. Got a few cooling system stuff sitting in the garage that I'd like to tackle before it gets too hot. I did the hood-prop mod and it seems to work but not enough data yet. I did see strips of kleenex taped to the hood flap around with the engine idling so I know the air is escaping now. I do plan to run WaterWetter and 75-80% water-to-coolant ratio this summer. Sometimes we see the ambient temps in the 110degrees in the inland areas so hopefully with all these mods the engine will run just a bit cooler.
3. Got a hood vent from a 280Z but only found the passenger side one, now I need one from the driver's side but people selling them on ebay are smoking crack
4. Waiting for the ABS plastic sheet to arrive so I can build my air-box for the cone filter, it'll be my first time building it out of ABS. If it doesn't work then I'll just build it out of aluminum or steel sheet.
5. I thinking I never changed the spark plugs on it since I bought it so I probably should do that at some point in the near future.
