Tell them....yeah , there might be a way. Meet up with Country Boy Hank at a cabin in the woods. I'll send yuh directions. Tell Hank your there for free introductory eye appointment...referred to as the Beechnut special.

Do that and I just may forgive you for being so Ding Dang Blind!

Damn you, Gates! My lower rad hose from them is too long and doesn't fit. Now I have the hassle of a RA return when the p/n is correct, and up to a week and twice the $ to get my hands on a Motorcraft.

Ohio and CO, are you guys getting any of this weather? We had a pretty good little flash storm/flood yesterday. It's supposed to continue on Saturday and again Monday.

Last Night on my way home from work, all kinds of idiots were stopping under the overpasses on I-80. My little 'Yota muscled right through.

I have come across that many times.
Can you lay the old one on the new on and trim the extra length off?

I was doing some research.... and it looks like the fitting used on the old Ford pumps, and the Volvo pump in the same on the high pressure side. There is a lot of wishywash info that "possibly" the 90-93 hose is a metric thread, and I may have to use one of those instead. But, we'll see!

Otherwise, all I need is an 80 amp fuse or breaker to get'er done!

Gotta run Mom down to my niece's house this afternoon, they are headed to Iceland for 10 days.
I am going to head over to Woodward and cruise it home.
Then later this evening head back down on the bikes.
The Woodward Dream Cruise pre- cruise car shows and parties are happening today and tonight.
The cruise is tomorrow and said to be the largest automotive event in the world.
