91 Z71 Resto

[Zseventy-one]

Oil pressure sensor went in ok, at least seamed like it did.
Snapped off one of the cap bolts which was stupid. Fought it for a while, finally drilled it out, rotor went in easy. Below is the old vs new...

Wires are lubbed up and ready to go, just need rest of spark plugs to come in...only 2 out of 8 arrived lol...
Have to finishing splicing the o2 power wire and repairing the chewed up red wire on the fuel pump relay.
Exhaust should be in a few days!
Stay tuned...

Heated O2 sensor all wired up, repaired the damaged wires from the rat, and used liquid electrical tap to seal everything up.
Picked up some new conduit to cover up the sloppy liquid tape job I did lol

Mr Gasket header gaskets and bolts arrived! Just need the darn plugs and headers to come in...

Decided to remove the original spare from underneath...ended up having to cut it out
Used the cooler to help catch the falling wheel, glad I did!

Original Good Year Wrangler from 91, still full of air, tire still has nubbies on it!

What a rust bucket!
At least there is room to work, and I have less fear of the spare falling off and hurting someone!

Removed the old hitch, going to clean it up paint and re install

Wasn't going to post this but, the high temp paint I used last time was only engine enamel rated to 500 F...
Didn't want issues down the road so got some paint stripper, removed the old and repainted with 2000 F high temp exhaust paint.
Turned out pretty good
