here you are :) there is no bitterness here. only SWEET, RAW, LOVE.
im currently working on sealing old windows in my house right now. NOt even making them finish-worthy because they are rotten and need replacing but that is gonna be a summer thing. Cleaning the edges, goobering with sealant, makeshifting weather stripping, and going to paint to uniformity!

THere is no bitterness in that

^Nope, nothing that didn’t come from the assembly line.
Unless trying to cobble together different applications onto a different engine. In which case, use whatever you need to get it lined up.
I’m only saying there wasn’t a dude on the assembly line deciding how many washers to shim behind an alternator bracket or whether to replace 4 washers with an oversize hex nut “spacer” to get it to line up.
By spacers i mean the tube things that bolts go through of various lengths, like the thick washers for WP and on the ps tensioner(in my case at least)

Was more just referring to the unecessary general bitterness some members here have with you. Not so much the community dicks

Its somewhat unwarranted to be an ******* to someone with a bunch of relics from a deceased family member whos got a thirst for knowledge and experiences,

better yet, you, like myself, are of the few of our generation that keep old **** and work on it too.

Some of these people should appreciate it, encourage the younger generation to uphold a interest in old trucks..... not shun it and talk down to them.

I think if it werent rusty or "dirty" some of the people who do would find it be an amazing show of youth or great respect for a worthy cause, but its rusty or unorganized, therefore it is junk.

Ive been around that all my life, i tell them their unhealthy collection of antique dolls is both creepy AND Junk, so checkmate
I also find junk to be more a word of temporary condition or intent

For example, my grandpa has a pile of painted green, yellow, silver, red, and black brake drums of all kinds laying around that he was going to use for his bases(Like stools, equipment, etc. nice and heavy. sturdy. not tipsy.) but they are junk to me and will likely be scrapped unless i decide to use them decoratively.

I will die clutching my clutch pedal in hand, brake pedal in the other. Grasping for air, aspirating. "**** hydro" are my final words. I will be 37 years old.

Which hydro?
Hydromatic? Or hydrocodone?

7 blade fan is much more efficient than the 3 blade.Get the heaviest duty fan clutch you can.

Like off the 6.2 diesel,or 454.

well i would be buying new. the clutch i have is from a 78 k10 with HD cooling, ac, 400, auto with cooler lines, etc but the clutch was stored face down for 20 years and was worn on top. it didnt spin right even. But i took the blades off and put it on mine! Gonna get an HD clutch for sure
