Dan McBoost's 1978 Toyota Pickup

At the end of the show I set up a quick pickup shoot:










Then after I met up with old friends:

Fixed the main coolant leak, but do have a drip to figure out more forward than the timing cover (seems radiator, cap or hose connection). bled the system which made a mess on the floor so it may have just been residual from that running down the radiator.

Took it around the block for the first time! Boy it needs an exhaust, lol.

Oh and finally ordered new old school Toyota logo-ed center caps to cover the Mitsubishi wheel logos.

Over the weekend I made the custom exhaust. Hell yeah.

I used the ST185's OEM muffler to quiet it down a bit.

A few progress photos:
The downpipe had to be cut up to rotate & change the angle at the lower section so it fit into the humps in the transmission x brace and get the 02 in a good spot.




Then yesterday took it to fill up the tank for the first time in many years. Seems like I need to track down a slight misfire although my CEL was not blinking when I tried to time it. Today I am going to get it inspected and start troubleshooting the diagnostic plug so I can make sure it is timed correctly. Then Thursday I will with on the new gauges.

Looking good Dan! Did you get the misfire figured out?
