I will chime in with discounttiredirect.com. I have used them for years, and always had good luck, and also free shipping!

I'm probably not going to find snowflakes locally, or RA's. But I'll keep looking.

Original 13's with stretch.

Going to oregon in march.... know where a pile of them are. remind me around then if youre still interested.

Changed the water pump out for a new one...wasn't too bad of a job, but I ended up pulling the pump and housing and just used new pump with the new housing, all new bolts. I ended up having to drill and tap one bolt, but I saved myself $50 for 15 minutes of work.



After getting it all back together, I reset the timing and got it running right. Now it heats up and works great, but needs a new temp sender so the dummy light goes out.

New OEM cabin dome light installed - need to get the door open/close sensors working properly.

Next up was tackling the turn and parking lights. I went through each socket and cleaned terminals and inserted new bulbs. Ended up finding a bad fuse for the drivers parking lights and took care of that gremlin.
Soldered new 194 bulbs into the Caddy license plate bulb assemblies and they work fine now.



Front plate holder installed and plate engaged.



Spotted Cole at the new O'Reilly's in Laurel, which will be my new parts depot, thanks Cole.

Brakes up next, Wade hopefully you got your brakes all squared away so I can get my bleeder back

As far as wheels go, I'm pretty happy with the GT wheels, I think I may hold out for snowflakes and just drive it. Here's a set of 13x5, 4x100 Western Wheels that came with it, dunno what I want to do with them

It looks happy.

This. Glad I could help a little Mike

Ha yeah it runs great, but it needs to stop better.

Maybe we can get a GTG setup for this Sunday in Laurel?

[YASHA7FOLD]

I will get your bleeder back to you. Let me know when it's cool to swing by.
