Without giving too much away, I was able to dig through and get a few things. I am going back in the next few weeks because there is a lot of NOS parts, I have already sold more than half of my finds and I need to go back for more as these were my personal haul.
I want to have all the parts in hand before I start doing sales because there is so much there and needs to be gone through and organized.
I'm gonna keep two for me and go back for more. It was a great weekend and I should have thought to get more than I did.
Also, if anyone was watching it on eBay, I bought that Cal Jammer wing that was for sale. The brackets don't make too much sense to me because only half are present. Wingmaster doesn't sell the correct brackets unless I buy the wing from them. I am stuck looking for a universal option and the ones out there are too ricer for me.

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
I got a friend who just scored me to NOS sunroofs today. She knew I collect this stuff and called me up when she found them. I am beyond stoked to get them.

Well I had recently talked with another vanner about checking and cleaning the AC evaporator coil. Got to thinking I hadn't checked the coil on Blue in a while. Pulled the fan motor resister pack to look inside.
Found this on the resistor pack.....
Then looked in the hole at the coil and found more debris!! Damn leaves!
There were just as much along the bottom of the coil and laying in the enclosure. Vacuumed all that mess out and put it back together. Should start to follow my own advice i guess.....

I have to say I sure could use a gull for my rear door on my shorty, $200 in gaskets and its still leaking, I've adjusted both doors till they close perfect, ,I can only pray this gasket replacement does the trick, or I'll need to remove my mattress and put in a pool.
More like what did you do to your van the past couple of weeks.
The '77 Econoline wouldn't turn over after swapping out the coil. Thought the ignition control module was suspect, even though it looked pretty new. NAPA gave me a new one for free and warrantied the old one.....SCORE! Didn't solve the problem. Mechanic co-conspirator said I should put in a new starter motor. Was able to drive it after that but it was running iffy, and it cut out a few times on the road.
Had an extra set of plugs so we swapped those yesterday, which helped but we noticed some vacuum leaks, the big one being the intake manifold gasket....sucks but I knew it was going to happen at some point, might as well get it over with. Soaking the bolts with the ol' aerokroil in preparation for the procedure.....
My F150, after an engine rebuild, the wiring to the coil from the ignition control box, it had a connector that corroded, unplugged it, sprayed it with WD40, slide the connection in/out till it wore off corrosion and it fired right up. Get some electrical spray and clean up all connection points on the engine, while you are at it, put a 4 gauge wire on the engine block to the frame then battery, sometimes that will cause problems due to the Duraspark unit grounding on the body.
