Replaced t-belt tensioner bracket after finding the old one stripped. I tried to tap it out, but discovered it was NOT part of the block. I got a new one at pull n save for $4. Got all the timing gear on and realized I need a new bracked for the alternator to clamp to. Might get it running tomorrow!

Just realized today that my inner timing covers are thrashed. New ones won't be in until Tuesday. Frustrating being so close but I can't move on until those come in.

Did valve cover gaskets, more purple power, plugs & wires, replaced crank sensor (hard to thread under the intake) so I tied a piece of para-cord to the old one and pulled it through. It helped but still got hung up a few times. Today I'm hoping to get timing stuff put on and try to crank it over.

'94 SS 5 speed manual. I pulled the water pump and oil pump. I have to go to the junkyard for a crank sensor and an oil pump bolt (one head was rounded and I used vise grips to get it unstuck). I bought an air filter and thermostat at autozone yesterday. The guy working there was a wee bit jealous when I told him how much I paid for the car. Hopefully get everything back in today. Pulled a sensor and 3 bolts at the pull n save for $3. Gotta love it. Put oil pump and water pump back in. Used gray "right stuff" from auto zone for both. I'm going through a ton of purple power to degrease everything.

Sold my 90 L sedan. Now to get to work on the '94 SS!
