Water pump is a fresh one. Don't see any of the used temp parts online anywhere, just new ones for gold prices. Compression test may happen tomorrow, before I start throwing $$$ at it. There are quite a few new parts that were already previously installed. Starter, all 3 coils, plugs, solenoid, carbs rebuilt, foot oil. All new stuff.

I pull my thermo stats out every year and soak them in salt away. Keeps everything nice but I'm saltchu....

I talk to myself all the time when I'm working on stuff....deeply into it. But I don't write to myself usually.

Pretty intense stuff.
