    Like a "Pound Puppy", it called my name to adopt it...

    It's now roadworthy, titled, registered, and insured. The overdrive is a very good idea, methinks.

    I do not know how long the engine was dormant, but I will monitor changes to the sound, using this audio as the baseline. I do note in the video that the exhaust is not puking either black or white smoke so that's probably good.

    Yes, Sierra Vista AZ. I got my LMTV from that unit as well. In southern AZ it's whole life = no rust.

    Aluminum wheels

    Any threads sticking out do not participate in the fastening of the wheel. The stock steelies have 9 threads of engagement + what sticks out. The aluminum wheels with the shoulder nuts have 11 threads of engagement with none sticking out.

    A Couple of Electrical Questions

    I deleted the polarity box. It's a 0.7 volt voltage drop across there. Deleted shunt as well. And deleted all that stuff under the dash that Ronmar speaks of.
