Your humble friend It was a beautiful day to clean and work in our van today. Sunny but not hot. Windy but mild and fresh. Great day. I have discovered that my engine is a 351w and all this time I thought it was a 305.

OP James_Black member Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 197 kennewick, wa	DAY 6 Today we did the following......... Check the Drum Brake to see if they need it to be replaced....They looked good. ;) We also change the valve cover gasket and paint it..... Before. AFter B) This here are the specs on ones side of the valve covers. We had to scrape it so we can paint. We changed the steering wheel, painted it and hook up the horn. .We fixed the driver side door control. It broke on me when I went to put it together. I was able to find the part on Ebay. Thanks EBAY!. .We also fixed out windshield wiper (passenger side). There was no fluid coming from that side. We took it all apart and cleaned it and now its all flowing. YESSSSSSSSSS!!! :P
