    What have you done to your square lately??

    All done! Cooled off and ready to install. Wife has declared oven acceptable for human baking (baking food for humans, not baking a human….) after a bit of airing out.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It’s actually pretty uneventful. The manifolds were super clean, blasted with crushed glass and painted so the only thing coming off of them was some fumes/smoke from the paint for the first 30 minutes. Later tonight I’ll bake a baked egg tortilla dish.

    Y’all need to put your Big Boy pants on and teach them women folk who rules the roost. When that fails, do like I did: Sneak them in once the wife leaves for work or wherever…. :rotflmao:

    Finally got the second exhaust manifold, so blasted them and painted today. First time I’ve used this particular High-temp paint and so far happy with how it applied.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replacement manifolds are out for delivery today so went ahead and pulled the old ones. Got a lot of cleaning and painting to do in the engine bay, plus will blast and paint the “new” manifolds before installing them. In the “while I’m at it” category I’ll be replacing several exhaust pipe...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    In preparation for replacing the broken exhaust manifolds I was able to break all 16 bolts free after a couple days. Many came out easy, others wanted a fight but with patience, heat and penetrating oil I got all of them out, only to run them back in until replacement manifolds are here. Along...

    Looking for bench seat options with a foldable back / armrest

    K5s have separate bench seats and a handy console, but no arm rests for the seats. Plus you get a factory emblem on your console lid. ;)

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Stopped to fill up and said “Hey, why not try some of that there Tesla juice?” Weirdest darn hose….fits in OK but couldn’t see how to make the stuff come out. Then I couldn’t see how I would pay even if I did get some Tesla juice. Other folks must have the same problem as they were just sitting...

    Wife and I took the Blazer to the years first Cruise-In in Altavista tonight. Perfect Spring evening.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    lol. I may regret it when it comes time to replace! It fits well, doesn’t extend past the bottom of the oil pan and is tucked away so no real concerns with clearances.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Did an oil change. Read here on GMSB about the larger oil filters and decided to try one. It holds 1.75 qts according to WIX so dumped 6 qts in. I’ll check it after a short drive and adjust as needed. While it was drained I ran my boroscope through the drain hole to check the main bearing caps...

    Bench seat with floor shifter..to console or not..

    I had one of these in my 87. Worked great and the storage cubby was real handy. It was secured with a belt. https://www.cupholdersplus.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqJzHli04fXnNTKTDRRoa9Do_M77VEQEHrX1lEbSa0Vhonf5tDj

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I read that if you bought $100 worth of Walmart stock at its IPO back in 1970 it would be worth almost $5,000,000 today.

    all time 4 wheel drive

    The NP203 transfer case is full-time 4WD, ie no provision for 2 WD unless modified. My 75 Blazer is like this. I am not sure if the NP203 was used in 85.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got the serpentine belt components installed and did a test run. All seems well. Installation wasn’t a real big deal. The biggest issue I had was entirely my doing: I pressed on the new power steering pump pulley backwards. Of course that made removal a challenge as there was no provision for...

    Pretty much have things ready to install the serpentine belt components when it gets here tomorrow. USPS gave the kit an all-expense paid tour of the US East coast for some reason.
