I'm Awesome
Just south of Wilkes-Barre. Better known as Hazleton, or the Armpit of the world, or just another sanctuary city.
Ah! So the hydraulic line came in today, as did multiple parts for my Wife's Jeep. Still waiting on the master/slave cylinders.
I should mention that those Allen key plugs turned out to be 17mm. I found a grade 8 bolt and welded in into a 1/2", 3/8" drive socket. That worked really well! The transmission fluid wasn't too bad. This is a good sign, but I filled it with Dex/Merc VII ATF, because that's all I had on hand.
Lastly, my new NGK ignition coil showed up today. The original looked like CRAP and was all rusty. Between that, and all the new, clean, shiny ground wires I've installed... WOW what a difference! Starts up faster and runs stronger, but now I see other problems.
I need to do a compression test in the morning and the spark plug wires on the passenger side are covered in oil. Probably a leaking valve cover gasket. I'm thinking that compression test is going to show low numbers on the passenger side. I suspect either a bent push rod or a broken valve spring. Fortunately, neither one requires removing the cylinder head
