So what was that goter to move?

I don't know. I poured some fluid down the return line. held my finger over the hole for a bit and wallah the fluid started pumping out of  the return line. This is after I took the lines off to see if the pump was working.

You can't Reverse the lines because they are different sizes and will only go on one way.  I think a mud wasp blocked the line and I freed it while checking the pump.

Did most of the patching on MugMans bug today, it was so nice did everything outside. I got the gas tank out then Pat came over and cut out the bad metal while I ran to Fazzio's for some sheet metal for the patching. The wind was blowing hard enough to blow the gas away from the wielding tip so Pat could only try to tack it and will finish welding tomorrow.

Put a Class IV hitch on the Bronco. I also did some work on the car trailer.  I have to drop off the Old 36hp Engine to Bob(Herbie)'s house. Now I can use the Car trailer to take the buggy  and have bob swap the Transmission and maybe a few other things.

Got Irene back from Marc's. Starter, Radiator, FORD Solonoid, are in AC Is Out, realized on the way there that my Volts weren't moving from up from where they were. Took the Alternator to Autozone and they confirmed that it is ok. =-/ Marc is coming over Thursday to help find out what is going on... I'll have the book. Opened up my new took box. It's great!

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

Worked on Glen's buggy today. I adjusted the link pins and front brakes. I also replaced the steering tie rods and adjusted the tow. I adjusted the valve lash (Jack it was very close). Glen had told me that Jack did not have the advantage of adjusting them dead cold. I checked the plugs, cleaned/adjusted the points and adjusted the timing. The crank has too much end play, so when I pull it, I will check the shims and try to tighten it up to spects. Glen, it looks all ok so far.
