OK so my buddy got this 83 2WD sedan with a dead ignition module. Tows it down from Hood River, drops it at my house so today we could work on it. Put the new distributor in, and it ran like a top, so we drove it down to the gas station to top off the fuel tank, and abotu halfway there the radiator cap that wasnt' put back on tight popped off, and warped off to that same place that socks go to. So we limped it back to my house, and pulled the radiator out (So that we'd be sure to get the proper cap) and off to the parts store we went. While we were there, we grabbed some antifreeze, a thermostat, and a T-stat gasket. Got the T stat in and started pouring in the water, and it started to leak water out. Great, the gasket must have slipped. Took a look.. Nope, the damn gooseneck is cracked.. No worries, I grab another one from a parts manifold I had, and slap it on.. Hose won't clear the stupid P/S pump.. Turns out the P/S equipped cars have a longer T-stat housing.. So I JB Welded it, hopefully it will work, but if it does not, I will be needing either a T Stat housing, or someone with a TIG welder...

 

On the good side, at least my Rabbit now has two tail lights and a shift knob :-) so I got SOMETHING accomplished today...
