Hey what did you think of that box of junk I sent you a week ago? GOOD STUFF!

volvoman · 10-13-2008, 08:03 PM

The under drive pully is nice and thanks for the relay too. I can always use and extra coil pack now and then also. Trying to get this pig running with no drive shaft hooked up etc. So no brake lines no drive shaft no radiator. Might also have to redo the oil pan gasket as I put the rtv on both sides
