Normally, it is great. But approaching 155k now, it has a pretty bad stuter/slip/hiccup. Been driving it that way for 20k now.

I also forgot to mention that I scored a free practically new 39.5" TSL for a 16.5" rim in the trash tire bin at 4wpw. It has a small cut on one of the sidewalls, but does not come close to going all the way through. Perfect spare.

John, i live 5 mi from your place. if you need anyhelp. give me a call
Well the tires have held air since I put them all together so I am happy about that. The first time I took her for a spin, I took out the neighbors dachsund :( , so they already have one casualty. He was known for chasing cars on our street, so I guess it was his time, but a ****ty way to meet your new neighbors thats for sure. Nonetheless, I got to take my family out in it on the backroads out here on Thanksgiving and my Dad actually liked it, despite all his ****talking over the past 12 years about what a worthless pile/moneypit it is:D
Today I was able to get the new housing on the back of the pump as well as drill out the fittings to a larger size. It went from a 1/8" hole to 7/32". I also stretched the spring a little bit. There were no shims inside the piston, so I left it alone.
I got the new gear back on as well. Tomorrow I plan to find a decent location for the resevoir, and determine the cooler mounting. I think I am just going to mount it with some of those plastic 'go thru the radiator fins' type mounts. It woudl give me plenty of space to mount, and it would be outside the engine compartment for the most part. Problems with that?
A package of "o-rings" came with the kit, except they are not rounded on the edges. Like you took some rubber hose, and cut little pieces off of it. Where do these go in the system?
I used teflon tape for the fittings Clarke tapped for. Ok? Or do I need a different type of sealant on those threads?
I used the same type of mounting setup on my old trans cooler with no problems.
Teflon tape will work fine in this application. The square cut o-rings are for fittings that can rotate, I think. Probably on the back of the pump.

Sweet! Now you'll be tall enough to ford that creek in Clayton:flipoff2:

Probably dumb question, but does the yellow thing do anything or is that just how they come?
