Got the header bolts locking clips finished. Starter, plugs and wires back in. Manual choke cable in. Then, I cranked the truck with it choked and it was so damn loud with open headers I just shut it off. I live in a HOA now and didn’t wanna do that to my neighbors. I’m going to get a friend of mine to tell me out of the neighborhood so I can crank it and let it warm up before I drive it for exhaust.
Pulled the key out of the ignition, starting cleaning up and an hour later realized I couldn’t find the key. I’ve looked literally everywhere. And every toolbox drawer that I put tools in, engine, bay, cab, bed, under the truck, in my work truck, in the house, I took all the contents out of the trashcan outside twice. I’m almost positive. I threw it away because the first thing I did after I took that key out was start picking up small bits of trash like tie wrap ends and stuff. The garbage truck came and picked up last night. It wasn’t until I got home later from a birthday party that I thought I should have metal detected the contents With with my metal detector. I’m almost certain I threw it away. That’s the only place it could be.
In another hour, I’m going to call Bruce’s locksmith in town. I spoke to Carr’s locksmith last night and they said Bruce could make me a key so let’s hope. I hate to have to change out the ignition in both door handles because that one key did all of them. Always something.
Autozone tach looks good
after the locksmith leaves. Also have him make a few extra??
