my list of things to do after my first 10 mile trip...
-first of all, cooling. gonna start with the cheapest and work my way up to the most expensive. Check for air in the system, get me a new fan clutch and a new radiator. I`m thinking a new aluminium, but I`m gonna get me a quote or two on replacing the core as I like the looks of an oem cooler.
-looks like there are 2 trans leaks. Selector shaft seal and it seems to leak from where the speedo cable attaches. Any one know from the head what is behind the round plate that could cause a leak there?
-steering pump pressure needs to come down.
-last but not least...still got a rather unhealthy sound coming from the dana. I heard the noise before I tore down the car and talked to a rear end mechanic about it. Advise was to everything else in the drive line in good shape before tearing down the rear, which I did ,but the noise is still there. My guess is the inner pinion bearing is bad since it makes a kinda grinding noise on acceleration. Could be gear adjustment. we`ll see.....
