If you can snake your way to the glow plugs pulling only the cruise actuator, you'll have time for both jobs in one evening.

If only it were that simple. I guess you have forgot what stage Coda is in.....no fuel lines on her, no intake manifold, no crossover tube, no radiator, no radiator fan, buggered up driver side motor mount threads, etc.

Well, here's what I got done this afternoon.......

Pulled off the old vacuum pump. Here's a few shots of both of them side by side and the old and new part numbers if anyone is interested.









Then, I got the new serpetine belt installed. The old one was beginning to crack. Then I got the plastic fan upgrade installed and the fan shroud sort of in place. Look how clean it is down where the radiator goes.....







Naturally.
We all know what goes in next, right?
The radiator.
Well, look what Coda is getting.
Do I know how to treat my gal or what?
