After blowing the budget on my Hemi engine,I have now resorted to stealing all the parts I bought for my other cars to put one together with the Hemi in it! Why buy parts when you can steal them! lol
What Part/s Did You Buy Today for Your Hobby or Project ???

LED bulbs for the Stewert Warner gauges in my '58 Apache, hopefully they will better match the LED backlighting in the Speedhut speedo and tach. I also ordered some colored LED bulbs for the dome and courtesy lamps, crossing my fingers that green will look cool with the bright white interior.

Heard a screech (LOUD!) under the hood of my wrangler today.
I'm in N Florida on my way to Miami for 3 months.
Figured "belt" so I checked the tensioner. Felt a little notchy. Bought and installed a new tensioner. Noise still there. Idler felt a little notchy...replaced that too. Lucky I had the tools with me.
Still made the noise intermittently. But never when I was under the hood looking.
Had a screwdriver pressed to the alternator to listen (that was my next step)...and it finally did it while I was there. It was the passenger side of the engine...but not the front. The SIDE. It's what used to be the distributor, that the FSM simply calls "camshaft sensor assembly". Once I found it, I could tap the housing with a wrench and make it do it. Looked online, found this

Yup. Thats the noise. Found a NAPA that had one. Bought it. Marked the old one. Removed it. Marked the new one to match. Installed it. Crossed my fingers...fired on the first crank.
$300 I didn't really have, nor want to spend today...but better here than on the side of I95 I guess.
At least the sun came out for a bit...
