Not Runner-related but...
Been working on a 79 just to fix some leaks, tune it up and so on. I stripped out the top two bolts that hold the coolant/exhaust plate thing at the back of the head. While preparing to pull the head I noticed a 12mm bolt at the front where the dizzy sits. "Eh, it's probably not important..." I said. SO wrong. I snapped a chunk off the timing cover; awesome. Luckily I have a spare head and timing cover but it still sucks.

I've decided I'm going to put money towards the Runner instead of buying stuff for it... since I don't have it yet.

Damn aluminum...  :hammerhead:
