Successful day. Head unit in the car! Yay!

Won a Perrin intake on eBay for super cheap! Yay!

Drained my oil for my first oil change after switching to synthetic after the break in. No shavings. Yay!

Hope the weekend goes well!

 

So, I pulled the dash to replace my mix box. I found that my top gear and cable were bad, so I replaced them and am hoping for the best. Interior is back together. I also replaced my condenser. Car is all back together aside from coolant. I found out that Autozone rents the gauges and vacuum pump. I'm going to try to get the car done and done this week. My old condenser was in rough shape, aside from the holes I put in it. I'm hoping it was just really inefficient.

LOVE having music in the car again.

 

Feeling pretty happy with the car right now. AC fix seems to have worked, but it's also in the 50s out today. Happy to have floor vents and seemingly good AC. We will see how it holds up. At least I am at the point where I can check individual components, now.

 

Perrin intake came in today. I got a stupid deal on one on eBay. Filter needs some love, but I don't think it'll be a problem. I need to finish my base tune and then start putting some parts on!

 

Was going to do a few pulls on the way home. I found that my belt was about to shred. Had to pick up another. I need to figure this out. This belt lasted about 600 miles.

TS shifter base bushings came in. Yay!

Splurged and bought a set of Perrin rear endlinks. They're OOP, now, so I wanted to get a set before they were impossible to get.

 

Which belt??

 

Accessory belt. This is my 4th one since I've owned the car.

I thought it was my power steering pump. Changed it out. Still having issues.

 

weird. what about the alternator and tensioner pulleys?

 

I know the alt pulley looks okay. My tensioner pulley has a scratch in it, but I wouldn't think it'd chew up belts like this. I'll check it out when I change the belt.

 

Does anyone know if you can replace the pulley on the tensioner without replacing the whole assembly? Mine has some gouges in it, although nothing seems sharp.

 

I have an extra tensioner I can send you if you would like to try. I have to look at it when I get home to see how it is on the tensioner arm.

 

Couldn't find just the pulley, but I pressed the bearing out of the pulley and just ordered a new bearing and pressed it in. I don't remember the bearing number, but it was a standard sized bearing.

 

I've found a Napa part number that seems to do it. My bearing seems okay, but the pulley itself has some scratches in it.

 

Sorry I didnt get back last night with ya. The tensioner pulley does have a single 14mm bolt.

My pulley has the tiniest amount of surface rust in one spot and does not feel rough. Other than that it is perfectly smooth around the rest of it. No gouging or scratches.

 

I may take you up on that.
