Thank you sir.. Your my inspiration Ron!
Did a little more yesterday and plan to work on it today as well. I"ll try to keep pics updated, probably use my original post for the build.
Pretty basic stuff here, but put a new starter on today.
By "new" I mean "new." Bosch unit that is supposed to be 100% new - not reman.
The little shield thing that goes on top of the solenoid (not pictured but ya'll know what I'm talking about)..
1) what is the purpose? Heat shield? Arc shield?
2) should it slide out far enough to go over the connections or does it just sit over the solenoid?
3) while it is hard to remove once you have it on, it can shuffled around quite a bit on top of the starter. Seems like it would rattle around a lot going down the road,
4) do you guys even know what I'm talking about? Lol...wondering if you all even you this piece
Yeah, I know I gotta figure out something on that o2 sensor wiring.

Since i bought my truck it had a miss and i could not track it down.It would shut off when i put it in reverse.Yesterday i found a cracked plug in it so got that taking care of.Checked timing because the spout was still wrapped in the factory spot with the factory tape.It was only on 5 degree's so i set it to 14 and well that explained why it was so sluggish LOL. So now the truck has new Taylor 8mm wires,Taylor cap,Taylor rotor,Autolite plugs,MSD Coil.

This is what my parents kitchen looked like when I was growing up in the late 60s Except it was Chrysler hemi parts.....I could never figure out why my father went to the dark side?

Adam@cgm cleaned these in his hot tank. Masking off all the critical surfaces took place in the kitchen while wifey was at work. Priming and painting happens outside.
I'm not going to mess with the force... lmao.
