    I drained the gas tank to take out the fuel guage sending unit, cut a hole in my hood for extra clearance and a new sunvisor anchor pin in the driver side sunvisor. Getting ready to put the cylinder head on my 250 six.

    Installed the blower housing to the heater/ac box and the duct section that attaches to the defroster - what a PIA. I can see why a lot of folks hate to replace a wiper motor. I broke a small piece off the bottom of the blower housing where the floor ducting is attached. I will glue and glass it tommorrow B4 I can resume this project and soon have some heat /defrost - when needed.
    I hope I don't have to remove that stuff agn. If I do - I guess the more you do it the better/easier it shud be.
