Today’s job was to install the ignition suppression system and all I can say was what a job. Trying to get ones hand in a few of the spaces let alone try and then use a screw driver was almost impossible but I got it installed. I’m not sure I’ll be leaving the large black spark plug cover on. When I took the truck out for a test drive I think one of the leads may have come off a spark plug. Lack of power under load and with all the shielding on it’s hard to get at anything. On the plus side it really cleans up the look of the engine.

Wow! Had a couple of those Suppression Kits once upon a time. Really nice to finally see one professionally installed. Looks great, Jordan!
Don’t forget the little white “S” in the upper corner of your doors now. David

It was a job, Sure glad I’m not on the hook for shop rate labour fees....
 One issue I had during the test drive this afternoon was a lack of power. I did some more checking after dinner tonight. It seems the spark plug wire ends are shorting out on the shielding cover. I started the engine and it ideas fine but I can now hear a snapping sound coming from that area going back and forth as each cylinder is firing. I’m thinking I’ll have to get some rubber ends for the wires? Any other suggestions?

New bumper made. I used the magnetic drill for the first time. What a breeze it made drilling all the holes. I also riveted on the hand crank bracket as per the original.

Parts were all back from the sandblasters yesterday. Today I finished off the two bins. These are originals for the Wire3 that were found in Northern Manitoba. Two of the hinges needed replacing and my father in law came to the rescue with a bunch of identical hinges. Parts were then given the POR treatment and priming. Another day they will get the final colour.
