I wouldn't know what that is. I drink Rolling Rock and Sam Adams.

I just scanned your longroof post
If its howling, your kidding your self going after just the seal.
I'm not worried about the work, its the results that are potentially problematic.
If you dont understand that link your going in hoping for the best.
Hey, if you dont try it you'll never know.
Does your e-brake work?

E-brake works. Honestly, the car doesn't howl anymore. When we did the fuel pump and chit we did fresh gear and posi oil, its fine now. I also have a feeling it was the crap tires I used to have on the back that made the noise. . I was also being a bit facetious when I said I didn't get it. I read the post, and while it was a bit verbose I got what he was trying to say. I've also read thru the procedure in the FSM. Also, I don't expect it to be a 5 minute job. But it also seems rather straightforward to do.

Ouch But seriously. I know... it needs new paint...someday....

The FSM is an excellent source.
All I was saying about this was that your skipping of many steps in the FSM procedure will require skills that are not covered there.
For example: You are replacing the yoke without knowing that the stack height is actually identical, to the 1/1000 of an inch, old versus new.
Therefore, the thread count method might be close, but the nut clocking re-position will be useless.
As it turns out, pinion bearing pre-load actually IS important to get correct, meaning "within an acceptable range".
That is why I had mentioned the sleeve repair, so that you could reuse your yoke, and save some money.

I had assumed that anybody finding my posts to be impenetrable, would simply post some response like "M-d-Z, WTF are you trying to say anyway, man?"
Or at least PM me to see just how full of "toro-ka-ka" I really am.
I try to be thorough without going on too long, but every detail that is important, IMO, will be posted.
In the future, feel free to just ask me to explain myself, kuz if I can do any of these procedures I post on, then EVERYBODY here can do them as well or better.
I have already learned A TON of stuff from reading what you guys share here!

SOB....were you on the TA forum?

Well I have to bail...... the caddy is out of commission and no longer for sale

....... and the 4 banger is knocking to hard to push it that far.



.... If can hook a ride with someone then I'll still cruise down and help out or clean a car or two

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CADDY?!?!?

Accu-weather is saying that here in NY, its going to rain & thunder-shower all day sunday, and will continue for my entire ride up there, starting very early in the morning.
The Boston area weather will be just a few hours behind, so that if I come, everyone will think I brought the miserable rain with me.
I might beat the rain if I leave NY @ 3:00 AM, which will get me there about 8:00 AM, that is unless traffic backs up somewhere en route.
What time were the festivities scheduled to begin?

havent been on in a few days. iam still on for it. i know the weather might suck but we'll make it work bring 10x10 pop ups if u have them! the lift might be a no go. my dad has his 60 impala wagon on there getting ripped apart. we will still have a garage bay to use. and the grill is still a go ill have burgers and dogs. feel free to bring beer,chips, ect.. and ill be up and out around 8 so anytime after 8 is good for me.

Possibility I may be visiting my mother and brothers on Mod day, which is the next town over. I know it's probably in the postings somewhere, but what is the address for 96slowss house.

thanks

let's just say there is a reason why advance/ autozone parts come with lifetime warranty.....



....so i ordered some quality parts and have to wait ( at least I think their quality parts for what they cost me)

I'll bring a pop up! I'm used to working in tents!

"Spend $50 get $50 in HOTEL cash"
Guess we know now why they offer access to a hotel ^^

Anyone have any small part transfers that need to be made lmk
Matt & I going rain or shine, just need to pick a vehicle for the conditions.

Leaving in a bit

Sorry guys. I'm out its raining really hard here and I really am not big on driving out there in it. Sucks too cuz I really did wanna get that driveshaft yoke done. Ah well... Especially when this is whats going to follow me all the way there: http://tinyurl.com/3lctont

Weather is nice here. Come on down Theres 5 cars here now. Gettin ready to grill some burgers

We're not gonna make it.
Really disappointed...
Beyond my control.

No problem man.

I got held up too! I went to a fire/party/mayhem thing at my friend's in NH last night. Long story short, I'm just getting home to Reading right now, wearing the same clothes I slept in and I have ashes in my hair. LOL

I might be down the S. Shore later to pick up a few parts though..

Thanks for the grub, parts, and the attempt at sequentials. I got a few good ideas from today. Learned a lot from Glenn, and saw 2 mud covered chicks. I still say we should have hosed em down right there. Anyway, it was good seeing everyone, I look forward to the fall round up.

You missed a good informational time lol. Good to meet Glen Machine De-Zine finally.

Sorry I couldn't make it down there. Had to replace the gutters on the house today. Boo.

Hope you guys had a good time! Way to go for hosting, Mikey!

Wait, Glenn was seen in person? AND mud covered chicks? WTF!

I'm pretty pissed at the world at the moment


LOL

this hole made running the power cord a breeze



soon as I got done sanding the race was on to beat the rain



was just gonna prime it for now but had extra paint and wanted to have a lil fun. It will be flat black by saturday.

Thanks Mike for a great time, and thanks to both your very cool parents for the most excellent hosting.
Tents were up (even though it turned out that they weren't actually needed) plenty of parking space, everybody was enormously friendly and helpful.
I hope SOMEBODY got some pics of the two gorgeous mud covered blonde Jeep ladies in the daisy dukes!
I found my A/C works better after fixing my twin electric fan issues, thanks again Mike.
I REALLY enjoyed meeting all the members as well as Mike's cool friends that showed up.
Burgers were big and tasty, I loved all of your fathers cool projects too, so all in all, well worth the long trip!

Speaking of which, it's after 4:00am, and I just got back, now!
I don't think I've ever driven so many miles in my life where I literally could not even see the road due to torrential rains, flooding and darkness!
3:00am Sunday to 4:00am Mon on the road! [25 hours, 575+ miles round trip] It IS good to finally be home, though!
The rain was continuous (ridiculous, actually) from L.I.NY to Providence, and from Providence to L.I.NY, but beautiful for the S.E Mass portion of this adventure!
I was a bit embarrassed that my car was the ugly duckling of the event, but at least it got me there and back without any problems.
*!*

It was nice meeting a couple newer guys, and seeing people I havent seen since the Round up! Thanks Mike! And when did these jeep girls show up I guess i shouldve stayed longer lol

no problem guys. and sorry paul u missed out on the jeep chicks.. ill get them over next time
i have some pics ill have to get up alittle later
