    Had rear "carrier/3rd mem." leak repaired. Had grease coming frm the yoke. The driveline specialist put a sleeve and seal on the yoke. Hopefully, that will solve the problem. I had the entire rear housing done 3 yrs ago by the same folks, they must have overlooked this issue at that time. Anyway, I will keep a close eye on it for a while; if I see any signs of a leak back it goes. It had been leaking for abt 9mos that I am aware of, maybe longer, don't really know. Getting ready to make abt 500mi trip and did'nt want to chance having a problem: better to fix it here.

    Last night I finally changed out my bad MSD 6Al box. Fired the ca rup for the first time in 6 months. Now I just need to put some new loom over all the wires I messed with while testing the old box. I hope to hit up a car show or two this weekend.

    Put my new fuel pump on, took an EVO driving coworker for a ride, he said "it pulls really hard" now he wants a race after he gets a clutch.

    Bought some chem-dip and cleaned my brake parts for the 4-wheel disc swap.

    Removed all of the emblems, except for the one on the dash.
