Had some time on sunday and opened up the diff because the cover silicone/cover had a slight drip.
Confirmed 3.54 posi and diff lube was starting to jell up. Glad I opened it up and cleaned it out.
Also took pictures of all the random casting numbers and stampings
How much fluid did yours take to fill it back up, including the bottle of friction modifier?
Depends where fill plug is usually 2 quarts a lot of dana 44 have high fill plugs when they are pointed up on a lifted vehicle - I put 1 quart in then modifier, then topped it off was almost 2 quarts
The font used on the belt lettering and numbers. Other than that, it's a bit newer. And yeah, I'm a bit weird. I just like finding these oddball things.

That's my friend Joe's 91 formula 350. Has the wheels, cold air and catback on the car. Has a few more things to put on it yet.
so.... what's status of "IT"? You ever get it running right or just replacing belts on it, your such a tease...I mean, ahh, I'm ready to make the trip and get co-pilot status

Just a few small things here and there (latest is "correct" simpson belts for the seats). Have had a little distraction and summer family time soooo the cars are on back burner a bit.

A few quick pictures from the 2021 T/A Nats. Will post a few more later. I haven't really done anything to it since before the last show in 19' . crazy how time flies.
Easy way to move the TTA pedal car to the trailer!

Yes, I clean my plate before I go out and play every time.
Some slight bad news though, the factory heater core decided it has had enough and started leaking. Noticed it when I was putting car away tonight. Good thing I have a NOS one ready to go.
Didn't know you were going this year Tony. Cool autographs!
I follow the Nats facebook page. 494 for turnout this year...event record is 525, set back in 2001. Doesn't seem like this event is going away any time soon! If the border was open, this might have been a record year.
I already spoke with my wife about going next year.

Saw your car there, but no you, wanted to say hello. Hope all is well, great show, fantastic 3rd Gen turn out this year!
Finally getting around to resealing the old R4 compressor. To my surprise it still had a very very very little bit of psi in it but it was leaking oil like it has the clap.
Sometimes it's not pretty to get things apart but need to make it happen. Just need a slight bit of psi to get the shell to move and then it just slides off. (It's not pressing on the clutch coil)
Apart and getting cleaned up for the new seals. The outer shell O ring is what was leaking oil.
HMM never saw inside if damn R4 before, yuk!! never liked them once it took 3 Delco's till got one that didnt leak on wifey's suburban but some were OK orig on my 87 impressed me - lasted 100+K and blew ice cubes out the vents your braver than I am resealing one! woulda gave the beers logo but thats not option - (note to Mods- can we get some better Emoji's? )
Glad you are doing this Tony. Despite this compressor being unpopular, I planned to reseal mine too.
For the record, I'm not sure if this one is "good" or not, all the bearings look good and no scuffing in the 4cyls so going to take a shot with it.
Most everyone says if you have a good fairly quiet stock unit, keep and use it. The parts store rebuilds are hit/miss. Not a huge fan of the look of most other options either.

Had to dig out a NOS pulley and clutch. The original was shot from oil on it and being old
Going back together with new seals. Didn't even have to remove the coil on the snout
NOS, bearing/pulley. Cleaned up that rust a bit b4 it went together.
New clutch has 3 holes for a spanner wrench to grab on to. Old one doesn't, there goes a few more points at the pebble beach show.
Back together with all new seals. Even put a bunch more throughout the system, think I got them all. Will vac it down soon. Hope to get to the heater core this week.
Made a quick 13hr rocket run yesterday for a nice (but dirty) set of original Ronal R15s with maybe 50 miles and newish set of Mickey Thompson rubber.
Was looking for a nice set to do in yellow so I wouldn't have to paint the red ones, even though SLP painted over the red for the color cars.
Hoping to have the center caps, wheels, hood and front bumper painted for some shows and burnouts this year.
The Ronal center caps have a SLP decal on them put on by the owner. The Goodyear F1s were from a crashed low mile 99SS. Owner put the tires/wheels on the car, drove around the block and it has sat ever since. He was guessing at least 15 years.
