Thread: Project Special K

Tweet

No parts yet today, so I worked on the 93 Toyota truck. It just plunks along, like a neglected friend, never asking for much. So I treated her to new plugs and rotor and cap. New air cleaner too. I think tomorrow I'll pick up new wires as the old ones are soft and thin, not to mention have 175k on them. It's a simple engine to work on, and has required little attention since we bought it in 1993. I also put a bottle of Chevron Techron injection cleaner in with the half tank of gas to clean the injectors out.
No progress on the truck other than the alternator bracket arrived from summit late this afternoon. I also got a summit starter for it that is a smaller size and works up to 12:1 compression engines so no problem with my mild build. My neighbor said he'd be around this sunday to help out if needed on putting the engine and tranny in. The motor mount should get here tomorrow, so with luck it will be a go this time around!

Opened the mail today and my motor mount arrived. I think we are now looking at the best two out of three. I now have three passenger side mounts and no driver side. So another call to Classic Performance, another round of explaining, then some pictured emailed to them, and what do I get, you must have a left mount on your right side, cause we sent you the right one. After a few more who's on first what's on second discussions, I had him send a photo of the opposite mount. After confirming I needed a right mount for the left side(just give me the one in the photo you emailed me, I don't care where it goes or what it's called, and I'll send the other two back!) they said it should get here before the weekend, hope so, cause I'm gone for two weeks, before another day off, after this weekend! Sometimes words just don't cut it!
