After 3 or 4 janky distributors, I quit screwing around and got a nice one that wasn't too much coin and what a difference that made. But right after getting it all installed today, the engine wasn't getting enough gas to turn over.....whaaaaaat theeee hellllllll. We found the fuel line near the gas tank was totally pinched at a right angle, I don't know how the thing even ran before this.
This van has been a total sh*t show getting up to this point, hopefully tomorrow we can get it actually running. And go for a DRIVE. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | The van is almost stripped down, the goal is to get it all down to metal this week. A lot of fiberglass filler and we are finally getting to the spots where the metal was bad and repaired. The hood has two huge filled spots of fiberglass. I’m not surprised at this because these hoods are notorious for rotting from the inside out. I took some time out to run the Mustang for the first time this winter. It needs some more attention, maybe once the van is done.
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers This town ain't big enough for the both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave
