preparing for the future

http://www.fixkick.com/brakes/96-new-parts1.jpg on this image it was part # 17 that hooks onto the nub on the brake shoe, there was a hole there vs the nub that the spring operated adjusting mechanism that clicks on the adjuster. So I tapped a 3/32 hole or something and put a small threaded screw in there to hold it in place so it would do the job of moving the adjuster. your pic looks like the correct parts on my 96. oreillys is having a set for me tomorrow at 8 am. so I will check specs and see if they are right. And let you know.

so Here is what I found after taking valve cover off tonite and rechecking the lash. i turned crank till i got rotor at one and checked lash on #1 cyl the front exhaust was a little loose, i could get 7 thou in ther if i forced it. so all was good on that I then rotated till
#3 was tdc and I looked at lash adjusters and the forward lash adjuster was gone!!!!!! so there was the culprit, My first thought was that it had broken off, I was amazed that it was still lying in the bottom of the head with no damage to thread nut or anything else. I went ahead and screwed it b ack in and set lash and went through the rest of the cylinders and did a little tweaking on what I thought needed. I got it put back together and fired it up and man it purrs like a kitten now. I am so relieved.

So tomorrow hopefully wont bring fireworks on the tracker but hopefully will be ones of celebration where we can take the car for a little drive.
thanks for all you do jerry Have a great fourth of july Bill
