got my hands on a used q jet for $50 from my boss at work.....600 cfm,electric choke... its very clean inside and looks like ot was rebuilt not long before being pulled off....( came off a 350 that threw a rod through the side of the block.....so I have more money to fix other stuff now

no progress..... had other stuff to do lately.... mostly just been researching different vacuum diagrams... stayed away from work on my last day off because one of my coworkers blew up an engine on my bosses day off( which is the day before mine)forgot to put oil in after an oil change. then ran the truck to do a p/s flush......was just like one of them syntech commercials where they run the engine with no oil

went on a yard run today with jb6978... I found an almost brand new coolant overflow bottle( mine is missing and am using an old prestone bottle) also found a new cap and rotor still in the box.also scored a power steering pump for repair parts to fix the problem with the p/s pump.... was a good score for all 3 of us that went

decided I'm gonna remove the non working a/c when I do the p/s pump and also remove the also non working cruise control, gonna do a bunch of small stuff soon... just been really busy with family and some other stuff lately, so ive had to put this on the back burner

I put 2 heavy coats on.... I waited a week before I put the seat, spare tire and all the other stuff back in...... seemed good though... cant beat the price though.... way cheaper than having the spray in done ( unless you know somebody that works there and get the buddy discount)
