Well I finished changing the exhaust manifold gasket on the 248 cyl. wasn't as bad as I thought it would be . So out for a test run to see if I have gotten all t's crossed and i's dotted . Stopped for gas - later found out that I forgot to put on the gas cap
need new cap . Drove 12 miles on the hwy and 8 on country roads over hill and dale to a friends ranch . No problems .
Drove back to town and 1 block from home base the bloody new fan belt came off and distroyed itself . :mad: . At least it did confirm that the temp guage works - wasn't sure if it did . Now to track down why it came off - take care of a few electrical issues and find out why the darn windshield wipers don't work . Other than those and a few hundred other minor problems - I'm Ready to take the old 303 to KC - it's only 3+ hrs. away !
