What have you done to your square lately??

[legopnuematic]

My engine is out. Building up a 383 to go back in it.

I have a question. Should I dust off a couple year old build thread and continue it, or start a new one? I'm slow

Just continue with your existing build thread.

dust it off

Where did you source that from? I just about shattered mine today pulling it out. 3 tabs were already broken and I broke 2 more lol

LMC Truck. The new clips for the circuit board I got from Classic Industries. LMC has the clips also but I failed to order them at the same time and they price them individually. I would also suggest new light bulb holders which the only one I have found to fit properly I got from Summit Racing,

• Standard Motor Products S-503A

I agree with them. Dust it off. Heck.. my thread has been going since 2012 with 5+ year gaps in it. hah.

So I spent a couple hours at the local laundr-o-mat/lavanderia this morning and whilst lounging on the porch watching endless tourists driving by waiting for the washing to occur, I observed that my tires were slightly low. Got my Milton Made In USA tire gauge out and all four tires were appx 10psi less than I want. Now there is a $1.50 for 5 minutes pay compressor at the gas station/store across the parking lot. And I had a pocketful of quarters. But, since I have a VIAIR 300P compressor in the Sub, I commenced setting it up and inflating all my tires to 50psi, mo' bettah. All in all, a good exercise...

Playing with the new cluster housing, miking sure all the bulbs work before I install the gauges. The bottom left one is for a clock not used so it's a spare bulb holder. And the turn signal lamps work but are dim the rest of the system isn't connected or grounded. Rear brake turn signals etc.

I have to admit I never liked that color brown. Until I seen it on a Squarebody, IMO I think its one of the best colors on a Squarebody.

Nothing major - changed the PCV. Microguard PCV184 - made in China. All that was immediately available.

Weird that the intake hole is smaller than what the old one was - not sure if that makes a difference. Old one was AC Delco and probably original ...

3-D printers be a showing up more and more. As I mentioned elsewhere, I made the plunge. I justified it by things like the cost of a custom dash (e.g, $1,500.00 for what anyone else with money to burn has). Decades back, I made my own (I own a significant wood working shop). I'm playing with plans to do the same with my 78. A 3-D printer would allow me to label gauges, lights and switches.

I bought a Bambu P2S [and already want a three head printer] and am, literally, the beginner stage with regard to different filaments and using computer assisted software [CAD].

In the course of playing/learning, I figured I'd look down the road of mechanics tool box labels for practice. Since they are relative, figured I'd post some of the attempts.

NOTE: Jumping from one program to another trashes some of your efforts to apply colors, and even positioning of print items, sometimes lifting them off the print plate. That has to be corrected. Then there is the matter of trying to be consistent in thicknesses and so on. to minimize printer poop, increased print time. Eventually. . . . .

Today I may run another test or three with different colors.

SIDE NOTE: Just the list of tool box items is up to around 100. I suspect it will be far more than that when I'm done. Then there is the matter of printing common sense and senior versions.

By the time I get things arranged how I want them, I suspect several of my friends will have labels for the mechanics tools.

I believe the original one would have just said "AC" on it.

Maybe.

Here is this one. You can see the size of the inlet. P/N CV 774 C.

@Ricko1966 is well versed in pcv valves. Maybe the smaller opening in the new one is compensated by a lighter weight inside?
