last night after i put "heads in beds", i went out with my headlamp on redlight, put on the new drivebelt (napa gave me the wrong size, went back and guesstimated a currect size), tensioned it, installed the new water pump, thermostat housing with a new thermostat, hooked up all the coolant lines, and bolted down the hood latch assembly.

wouldn't have looked like such a weirdo if i had a closed garage instead of a parking lot with a headlamp, but i don't care. i'm determined to get this thing on the road before summer ends. now that i have a stovebolt, i see them all over the road and i get jealous.
