But as of right now, the 100w Hi-Beam is really bright. In a good way
They are great, aren't they. The 55w seem to be lacking so I use some pro comp 55w driving lights.

Yea, it was day light so it was hard to tell, but the 55w looked like similar to my sealed bulbs, but whiter color. I imagine they might be a bit fuller and throw further though. I mean hopefully... lol

Yea that's stock. But wattage is just part of the equation.

I just went out and aimed them. Wow. 55w is enough for me. Plenty bright. Best upgrade for my DD thus far. The best part is the beam patter is nice and full (what I was hoping for). There's no hot spot, then barely any light on the edges like stock sealed beams. The 100w hi-beams were lighting up stop signs 4 blocks away too.

My 100w high beam Hellas were insane. I was upstate in the mountains and with the high beams, lit up the road like there were street lights and full moon lights. There were neither that night lol. I miss my 80/100s but yea properly aimed lights make a world of difference

Yep.. Almost have the HP30 in so I can drive her again. Now, though, it's time for work.

Rebuilt the rear brakes. Last time i worked on them i got two springs on wrong, which explains why they weren't auto adjusting.

Got the park brake strut spring on backwards (No ****ing clue how i managed to do that) and the non-spring end of the adjuster cable in the wrong spot, I put it on after the shoe guide instead of before so it was loose.

Me too! Are you going to change anything as far as pressure distribution?

I don't think so, I bought a 29 spline 8.25 already converted to discs. s I'm just throwng that in there. Pressure distribution is over rated, a also yanked me e brake out a long time ago because it didn't work, so I don't have to worry about that

Ran out of gas in the manche with th gauge reading quarter tank. I think the fuel pump may of not sat correctly into the little stand in the tank. Any way of fixing a bad fuel sending unit? Also used the comanche to haul some trash from a lot clean up job today. She was loaded down. My weight sensing prop valve still works I guess since stoping was better with a load.
