Oh, I thought I put these here, for future help to anyone who may have to remove the heater box. I found some people who mentioned the hanger hook bolt, but this is where it actually is, and what it looks like. With my phone stuck up inside there for a better view:

I finally got some time to get back on this. I tied the hoses together with one of these: I put a short hose over one of the heater core fitting, with the other end into a bucket, then gently blew some compressed air into the other fitting. After getting as much of the coolant out as I could...

Thanks guys. Good tip on trying to bypass it. That's an easy to do check, so as soon as I get some free time... I can't believe how long this swap has taken. Pretty much an entire year, but to be fair part of that was pacing myself by buying the parts as I had the money available. So close...

I have my slanted 6 to Magnum swap basically complete. Still working through a few issues, but it's driving. The last couple test runs I've comeback from, I found a small puddle of coolant on the floor. It wasn't leaking before i started the project, but way it went...

Sorry, I just realized I never came back to follow up on this. On Monday I emailed the contact from Tesla back and let him know I’d like to remove myself from consideration. The potential job was for the automation in the battery manufacturing portion of their factory. When I spoke with him on...

Alright, I think I'm decided this isn't a good move for me. There's more to life than a big paycheck. To be honest I was really liking the idea of relocating to TX, but reality has now set in that that particular area is not like what I was at first imagining.

Hey I promised I'd help my younger brother put a power steering pump on his BMW (this ought to be fun) so I have to run, but I'll be back later to catch up. Thanks again for the reality check.

A friend of mine bought a house over 20 years ago in a development in PG county Maryland, kind of inbetween Baltimore and DC. He knew nothing about HOAs but quickly found out when he tried putting up an American flag on his house after 9/11. No good. He went as far as trying to hire a lawyer to...

Maybe some context of my situation now would help. This is my house at the top of the hill here This is my backyard And the pole barn where I get to spend some quality time working on the old car. Concrete floor, insulated, wired, lights, and it has a heated/air conditioned workshop...

Thanks for the replies guys. I figured things would be expensive. People moving in that sold places in their fomer homes, then having high paying jobs are going to drive up prices. What was shocking to me though were the property taxes. One of those small houses on a lot that's not even a...

I could use some info on what the area is like. I'm in the mid stages of interviewing for an engineering position with a company that has a large factory just outside of Austin. This is a company everyone has heard of. The job itself sounds fantastic and the pay would be very good. At first I...

Thanks Ray. It was nice meeting you and the Mrs. I wish I had more time to chat but I honestly had to get back to the work. Definitely jealous of you retired guys. Although I really can't complain, you know you have a good job when you don't have to ask the boss's permission to step out for...

I just ordered one of the turret style because the old Sears one I had wouldn't grip the tubing anymore no matter how much I tried to tighten it down. This is where I ordered it from, they seem to have the best price by far: K TOOL INTERNATIONAL Brake Line Flaring Tool,70081 (KTI70081) | Zoro...

just sent you a PM.

I could use one of those, but I don't do Paypal anymore. I work in Thompsontown, so could run down to Duncannon and meet you at Sheetz or Rutter's over my lunch break.
