    Put a "too big" of a hole in my plastic fuel cell to fit my 8AN bulkhead fitting so I had to order a 10AN fitting from Summit instead :huh:

    Did you get two belts on it or one?
    Im using one belt; the first pulley on the crank toward the radiator.
    I believe that's all I need. I wud need a wpump pulley w/ dual V's to use 2 belts. I don't know why u got a one belt comp; maybe slightly different model - really can't say.

    I used a 48oz persuader on the front right side of the rear inner wheel house because it was touching the inside of my tire inappropriately.

    Got bored and was feeling a little too old.....Motor swap is coming..but not soon. So wadda ya do?

    Put a stereo system that every kid in highschool would sell his little sister for! LOL

    Went with a Kenwood Bluetooth deck, Kenwood three way 6X9's and 6 1/4's, and a couple 12's in the trunk in a sealed box that I built today. Pushing the 12's with a 520watt amp with 50amp fuses and a 1 farod capacitor.....Gotta say, it sounds great! Havn't used a car stereo for anything but talk radio for way too long. Forgot how fun it was to just rock out.

    Ever since I brought the car home I've been eyeing the 8track that was haphazardly screwed into the bottom of my dash compartment with contempt. Today I made a bad thing good and boy is it nice.

    Went out to celebrate in my little town today with the windows down and George Thoroughgood jamming "Bad to the bone". It was good.

    Mkay, I'm done

    Lol, Nothing exciting, Just weren't getting along...she was treating my girlfriend horribly and i wasn't going to stick around and deal with it. Besides...Open road and hot days are much better spent in my Maverick than in a Kia! :burnout:

    I hope you took a shower before getting in your maverick after being in that Kia cross contamination you know.

    Actually i believe i took 2 before i got back into my maverick! However, i was in the Hyundai right before getting into the maverick...but there were seat covers down so i may have been semi-clean still

    Installed new main/rod bearings today on the Sprint. 2 1/2 hrs of work...$90.00 in parts.
    No bearing noise and 65 PSI oil pressure at idle...Priceless.:dance:
    I feel better about driving it to Detroit now...:burnout:
