I found two people fairly local that have r12 and quite a few on ebay.

People are always tossing them on CL, sometimes cheap, sometimes a buttload.

I ordered my dryer last night.

Very nice

Ive been trying to figure out why I couldnt go above 10.5psi ever since I got the truck running again. Earlier today when I started the truck to go to school, something sounded like it was rubbing and then it just stopped. Okay, so I went to school. Went to look and see what the noise was and I found a good chunk of my fan shroud missing. I also checked my air filter to see how dirty it was, its not that old at all, and it was soaked in oil from before. Ran it without the filter and bam, 14.5-15psi, like its supposed to do. Soaking filter in some dish soap right now.

Why was the filter covered in oil?

From the valve cover that had the blown piston, a lot of oil mist was blowing out of the vent which goes into the air intake tube directly on the air filter. I cleaned a bunch of oil out of the tubing but I guess I never cleaned the filter.

Oh that makes since now lol I would just replace the filter and not worry about it any more.

I would but it's a K&N that I had to order.

Today my truck almost went up in flames, well it seemed like it. The wiring for the alarm to the horn for the alarm and the horn itself decided it wanted to short out inside the horn and cooked pretty good. No clue how it happened, just driving down the street, almost home. So now my alarm has no horn.
