What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

guess it's time to change the fluid/filter in my 2 post lift. as I was letting the car down it stopped about 3 feet from the floor. let it sit for a few minutes and it came on down...

 

Well finally the time arrives to Install the engine in the maverick little by little is coming together again ,,I know it’s been long but is only 2 hands working in this project

 

Thank you only trying to do the best we can

 

took a ride today and with a heavy pedal was getting a little spark knock. after doing a little troubleshooting came to realize the gas in the car was put in some time last year. had less than 3 gallons in it so I put 5 gallons of fresh gas in and...
it was convenient because I had just drained the tank to install the new E-pump/sender and hadn't put all the gas back in.

 

got the fluid changed in my lift. ran it up/down (empty) and all seems to be good.
took the Mav. for a 45 mile ride today.......

 

Replaced the blown 6 x 9's in the package tray.

 

Removed engine accessories to remove water pump bolts. Added thread sealant, and reinstalled. Hopefully water leak is fixed.

 

gave it a wash and blow dried it......

 

Last summer: I replaced water pump, removed, cleaned, and reinstalled timing cover, put silicone sealant on cover & pump gasket along with all new hoses and still have a slight leak. I haven't got under the car or did pressure test but, did'nt put thread sealant on pump bolts. I had sealant but never thought about putting any on bolts. Very well may be my issue!

 

Reached out to the gentleman who sold me the locking gas cap awhile back and made a deal on some more parts

plus had to get the Granada cap to complete the collection

 

Cool. Does he happen to have one of those centers with the Comet shield emblem? Something like this:

 

I don’t believe so, he is going to look for more stuff for me. If he finds one I’ll pass it along.

 

Drove Kim's Maverick to the Body/Paint shop for her ' final ' .. She misses her Maverick and would like to have it for "Bike Week" ( first week in March ) .. I've parked "mine' inside till we completed the LS swap into my 98 GMC Pickup Truck...Really woke it up .. its a handful when I stab it .. Love those ponies !
