Progress was a little slow. I actually had to mow my yard for the first time (wtf, it's the first week of March?!?!?) and repair some wind damage to my shed doors from a couple weeks ago when some idiot (me) left them open.
I played with the motor a bit more, balancer is on, and after a lot of debate I chose my final oil and water connections for the Dakota Digital electric connections. I kept the oil pressure behind the intake at the top of the block (but had to shave the damn edelbrock intake... again...) and the water on the DS head.
I also had to do some maintenance. The original 1971 GMC booster finally gave out. I took EVERYTHING suspension and brake related off a 71 GMC in a junkyard about 14 years ago! I even took the brake lines they were so clean, the truck took a pretty hard hit on the DS rear and was stripped pretty clean by the time I got to it except for the disc brake stuff.
Actually, it's been hissing off and on for months now...
I cleaned up the MC for the heck of it too.
I also added a touch to the edelbrock intake. I was touching up the paint on the bolts and thought what the heck. I used to build tons of models and was pretty good at detail painting the trim.
...and I finally got my plates back from powdercoat! They look awesome. "H" is the correct designation for a pickup in SC in 1967
