My plan for the weekend...

[Mark D]

It's Wednesday night and I've been thinking about the weekend since Monday. Last weekend was practically all honey-do list, so this weekend I'm headed to the man cave for some serious me time! Placed a serious $217- order with Gary Roberts at Roberts Motors and the package arrived today. (He was awesome to deal with by the way.) Looking forward to getting some grease on me on Saturday and potentially a test-drive on Sunday if the weather cooperates.

It's always good to have a plan I plan on going to the first car Show in my area this weekend (Sunday). I will make sure I get some good pics.

I hope the weather cooperates for both of you guys this weekend. It has been snowing here all day today

We had some snow this morning but mostly rain all day.

Looks like you have a nice supply of parts there to keep you busy over the weekend Mark. Its a lovely 88° (in your talk) here in Brisbane today. I couldn't pass up such an opportunity to take the old 51 Desoto truck out for a run. I think that I clocked up a little over 30 miles this morning. I will give it a clean up now and park it back in the garage before I have to run off to work. Have a great weekend.

Did you order your tune up parts by distributor number??? There is a difference between points location among the different distributors used throught he years Some go on top of the cam, some mount below it. There is also a difference amont dist caps, and rotors.

Just check before you dissasemble. There was a recent thread about tune up procedures, and pulling the dist to make the procedure go a bit easier.

Its been about 15K miles since I installed mine, probably need to put a tune up on my Spring To do list also.

Excellent truck there mate! Definitely not going to be 88f around here anytime soon, but spring is in the air! We're due for a few flakes tonight, I hear 1-3", but that's what we call mother natures fertilizer round these parts.

Cheers!

Greg, The gents over at Roberts warned me about that. Actually gave me a call to chat before the sent the parts. Really nice of them to take the time. I took a gamble as I wasnt near the car when I ordered the parts or when they called to check. Roberts isn't too far from my home (+/- under an hour away) so I guess worst case is I end up making a personal visit to make an exchange and grab some more loot!

Still no snow here yet. We're about 200 miles away from you. But they say its on its way... Thankfully the snow melts quickly at this time of year. Just hoping for some dry roads by Saturday.
