Got Lucky tonite
No, Not that Lucky..... Settle down.
Finally got some time off and started reassembling my 91 from repairing my starter solenoid this spring. Got the Inj Housings torqued down, installed the new Fuel Injectors and rails, was installing the retaining clips on the Fuel Inj to rails. Last one going on, #8 secondary when my fat fingers fumbled and away it went down into the bowels of the motor. #@^%&**^$, started looking around with the trouble light, I could just see the edge of it down alongside the starter. Out with my trusty long handled forceps, Ahah,,,,,, I managed to push it completely under the starter. $%^&#$%@,,,, So out with a piece of wire, twist and bend it,,,, go fishing in the dark.... No Joy..... Son ofa Biatch,,, Don't tell me I'm going to have to strip everything to get the freaking starter out again.... Sit down, have a smoke, Figured I would be making a trip to the Chev Dealer tomorrow, should be a common part, but what are the chances of being in stock???? Probably not good, with My luck. Go to get up and notice my long handled blow gun on the bench, Hmmmm..... Managed to get the head of the blow gun down the hole in front of the starter where the secondary vacuum switch used to reside. Couple of really good blast of air and I heard a light metal sounding thing ricocheting around the engine and then the sound of it hitting the concrete on the floor.... Success. OK, where did the little bugger go now? A few minutes crawling around looking under everything found it snuggled up against the inside of a tire. CAREFULLY installed it this time. Enough for tonite, mixing a cocktail.....
