got window regulator replaced but forgot to tension spring so motor doesnt work correctly.i got to pull it all out again.
black jesus got two test paint coats yesterday,right side and left side.satin black and rustoleum flat black. im liking the rustoleum better.the satan looks like it could have a high gloss if buffed out.im not a paint guy though. im thinking of doing some minor body work on it,sew up some loose ends and patch some dings.sand it smooth and paint entire car with about 8 cans.polish,wax,buff.
i got another map sensor and replaced.car seems to run cooler and idle a tad smoother.a little more sensitive to idle changes.i would have replaced it years ago as its only 20bux but had thought it had a maf sensor,not a map sensor.mafs are like 80 dollars.
tried the driveshaft bushing repair with liquid nail.i let it sit 3 days to dry but that seems to not be long enough for that thick a bushing,probably more like 6 days to dry.ill get a chance to park it next month and repair or buy driveshaft.it runs fine down the road but vibrates some at certain speeds.ive lost a driveshaft before,its crazy wild.this one has a safety ring to keep it from going nuts.bearing in it spins fine,just old rubber.

i had a 76 chevy impala as a teen,350 two barrel,cold ac. i was doing 115mph down the highway and let off the gas to slow down for traffic,i got down to about 90 and a constant velocity driveshaft locked up sideways. im rolling down the road at 90mph with the rear axle hopping up like a rabbit.oh yeah fun times.more gm genius. white knuckle event! the next winter i had car on hill with most of it drained of antifreeze but not all.well it wasnt good antifreeze.i had just rebuilt a holley four barrel and put an adaptor plate on it.cranked it up and it roared like a beast,let it idle a few minutes then pow,clunk clunk.chocolate milkshake came out of every orifice of that engine. then some guys walked over and said,man that engine sounds nice.wanna sell it? i ended up letting a friend haul it to his house and he parted it out.

i had a mazda hatchback car.moved back from tennessee,trying to get set up with my new wife and a life.home one week and engine throws a rod.normal driving.made it all the way to texas then died.knocked a hole in side of engine,oil caught fire,car in slow motion burned to a shiny zink plated hulk of junk.the brand new tires i had on it just days before really added to the pain. then like 6 months later i get notice from dps that car was a stolen vehicle.i didnt know,i had title to it as i bought it from a friend of a friend.i had no clue.the wrecker service asked me when i was gonna pick it up.lol,im like,you own it now.

i then bought a lincoln mark 7 maybe or some kinda ford car.anyways.that car had a blown head.i put a brand new engine in it but didnt know that much about it.it never ran good.
i then bought a 96 mitsubishi eclipse,two years old.top speed 136.had that car 6 months and it dropped the starter spindle in the bell housing.i was 3 months behind on payments.towed it to a dealership in south texas after getting fired from job earlier in day.one of those microwave days.wasnt my fault,dumb crane operator put his foot under a load,broke it,i even warned him. the day before i had told an immigrant 3 times not to put his finger in a hole we were lining up.heavy 3/4 inch steel plates,the tendons and some skin held that finger in place afterwards.docs put it back together from what i heard. since i was involved in two accidents,boss sent me packing.thats how i lost my mitsu,no job,no money,behind on payments.road home in the back of a pickup with rain pouring down on me for 10 hours.

99% of the time a head gasket fails,its because somebody put tap water in the radiator and it rust out the pump,then car overheats and headgasket blows and sometimes cracks head. never use tap water.only rain or distilled water.if its already blown,well it dont matter,whatever works to get you home.

got new driveshaft,motor mounts and transmission mount for car.got driveshaft replaced.im gonna wait for cooler weather before doing mounts. had oil leak at rear main seal.it quit leaking.
took car on long drive,burnt through 4 quarts of oil but can find where its going.i dont see dmoke anywhere nor leaks.also have poor gas mileage.
i had also got new ignition spark module and instalked it too. i think i got a vaccuum leak but cant find it. i had bought a vaccum gage a few years ago and never used it.i guess i need to put it on and find if theres a leak.
i drove about 300 miles in car that day and lots of highway miles at seventy.black jesus seemed to run better. the driveshaft made a big difference in performance and weighed about 1/3 the weight of the old two piece.
i want to say to folks,if you need a new driveshaft,use CCI in michigan.fedex lost my first driveshaft order.guy was very responsive and professional.the driveshaft was really top quality.

i went into mt.pleasant tire today,one of the best companies i know of in mt.pleasant.they dont even charge to fix flats. a big business with like ten bays for cars.i had got a screw in a tire and they were about to start working on it. i saw another guy name mike who had repaired my ac on car last month.shop was loud with airtools going and i yelled,hey mike,you know that black camaro you fixed the ac on,he was like yeah,i said its still running great thankyou! all the mechanics in the shop stopped what they were doing and started clapping as he was showing me the shhh sign with his finger to mouth.like 8 mechanics all clapping at once,it was so funny!
i had a bunch of mismatched lug nuts on car so i went ahead and bought new chrome lugnuts for all four wheels. this way my wheel bearings wont get vibrations. while they had car up in the air,i checked both front wheels for slack in parts.all the heavy duty parts were snug with no slop anywhere in front end.probably the best front end ive ever had on one of my cars.

even though the engine runs,i thought maybe i didnt have first gear.its usually sluggish. i pulled out of driveway today and the car rocketted.i was like,thats engine timing.
my engine was not advancing the timing and thats why the poor performance.i wasnt paying attention and broke the speed limit.i set the cruise control and went on to store. that was the most power that black jesus ever had. im going to have a shop scan the codes on car.i think i may have a vaccuum leak also.it backfired.it still gets bad gas mileage too.but just for a second,she gave me hope for a better future.

i got alternator from store,it was built in mexico and assembled wrong.i had to take it apart and turn housing 120degrees so brackets would match up with car and reassemble. my last altenator must have been crap.it always showed below the midway mark on the gauge,this new one is above the line.i had just had charger on battery so i know all thats good.

i payed 10$ extra to have a package delivered early.its two days late.about 20-30% of fedex packages are running late for a few years now.if this is nationwide then fedex is robbing about 50% of its profit from the population. imagine a class action against fedex.it would bankrupt these thieves. their halfassed effort at shipping sure looks like fraud to me.very similar to usps.

so for future advice,never pay more than bottom shipping price,shippers cant be trusted.why take the chance,its not worth it.

maybe i should start a website,"myshipperpissedmeoff.com" hire a bunch of lawyers to suck the life out of usps,ups,fedex,dhl. get refunds and damages.if a package is one minute late,burn! like a hundred hungry lawyers and staff,chewing away at shipper profits.grr!

got the three pigtails on ignition module installed.engine runs real smooth.i had installed a 2 wire connector and 3 wire connector a few weeks back and those helped.i ordered a 4 wire plug but it was wrong,i needed a 6 wire plug.got that in today.
its amazing how just replacing connectors can make such a big difference in performance.after installing the 6wire,i took it for a drive and it felt super weird.almost like listening to a new car run.felt like a new engine too.
the old wires had insulation pealing off but didnt look real bad so after the replacement i didnt expect that big a change.it was a very big change.

24 cans of krylon black gloss,4 cans of body filler primer,one buffing machine,one wheel buffing drill thing,wax,compound,wheel cleaner compound,a triangle sander,about 6 packs of sand paper,a tube of liquid nail tight bond for repairing rubberized bumper. 4 days of not knowing what im doing. i got what looks like a new car with a mercury black chrome paint job.shit looks good! still alot of defects as black shows all defects but if you step back from it,car looks new.
the other day,just for about 60 seconds,the car ran like new.i thought i had all the sensors done but nooo! i got some more to go. those 60 seconds were one hell of a ride.it may be a puney 3.4 liter but that car had wings and shifted like new.fast enough to even scare me. the curse is almost lifted.
when i bought the car,the stereo was missing parts of speaker system and sounded like crap.i got new speakers for it.bought 4 but two were wrong so im taking them back and getting the right ones.so soon ill have a nice stereo.

my car was sabotaged at walmart,a young man started taking bolts loose off my intake manifold on car while i did my monthly shopping at walmart.i saw the guy acting suspicious around my car and i saw him walk around it and then to his truck.i saw him put something in the bed of his truck on the passenger side then walk back around to drivers side,then leave.
the only place my car was not in view for an hour that month. this caused computer to dump gas into the oil and ruin my motor that i just put new heads on. the sheriff promised me i wouldnt be stalked and harrassed then this happens,second time car has been sabotaged in just the last few months. my dark agency buddies say the guy is 30 and works at pilgrims,lives at home with parents. they told me who got him to do it also.two neighbors. since i cant swear to this info.ill keep it to myself. the sheriff and walmart know exactly who did it.none have contacted me to announce the arrest of the criminals involved. so it looks like my car is ruined for now,the mafia stole the last of my wealth.on top of that,the sherriff dept put out a warrant on me for threatening the sheriff. the sheriff is head of the mafia,duh?

Im offering it for 1 thousand dollars.i know yall know where i live or it will be on craigslist next month.just pull up to drive and honk like a deaf guy is listening.maybe ill walk out and sell it to you.still has all those new parts on it.just needs the motor and transmission rebuilt.has new rebuilt heads i had just installed when shithead sabotaged it in the walmart parking lot and sherriff would not investigate.instead,threw me in jail and charged me as a terrorist.maybe he will treat you better but i doubt it.hes a thug.thugs dont usually change.its for sale,if you dare.
