Well , I am finally drawing to a close , quite possibly the worste week in
my existence .
After my truck had been at my dealer for what seemed like an eternity , I
was supposed to get it back last Saturday morning , and I was going to
install the headers & downpipes along with my brother , who has every tool
known to man along with nice air tools .
So of course I didn't get my truck back until yesterday and it wasn't even
really finished .
So my brother had told me , don't worry , we can do it during the week
after work before you go to the Southern Nats .
So I go over and he gives me this BS line about being too busy and we can
do it maybe next week !
Yeah , after I put vinyl siding on his new shop and garage in exchange for
doing the headers with me and I told him several months ago about wanting
them done before this race !
So anyway , bottom line is no headers !
I don't think I will get my TB in time ,unless it comes in before I leave
tomorrow afternoon , so no TB .
I couldn't use the Dayco belt number that was listed as being the one for
the AC/Power Steering bypass belt . The one I was given , which had been
cross-referenced to the Dayco # was only 6 ribs , and I need 7 . It also
would not have contacted the water pump enough , it was too long .
No bypass belt either .
What *did* I get done to my truck ?
Well , new cap & rotor , my existing 14" FABM , and Magnecor wires .
That's it !
Oh , and to make things more fun , work has been a living hell this week
with a 18 hour network outage in one of my systems in AL . Did I mention
that I hate going to this polace at all , much less twice or three times in
a week ?
So I will be at the races this weekend , and all I really have to help me
is the hope that the slicks , without tubes :) , will maybe cut my 60'
times just a bit .
I hafta go and look for a rusty razor to slit my wrists now .
Oh , when I got home and realized that the headers would not be going on ,
I returned them to their rightful spot on the kitchen floor , hehe .
