The UPS man brought me a package today. A new Dinosaur control board for the furnace and a new water pump. I like to get new stuff and put the furnace together, checked for leaks and instant fire.............only in the burner. So that was good to get done.

Do you know what this gauge is and what it does????
Then it's time you learned. You can use it to check for leaks in the LP system. It's called a
manometer and it is behind the fridge. The short lesson is to have the gas on with no pilot lights on and check the gauge, turn the dial to move the red hand on the gauge to match the black hand, turn off the gas valve by the LP tank, wait 5 minutes and recheck the gauge. If the red and black hands still match you have no leaks. Class over.
I kind of like the electronic lighter in the furnace (shown above) but I also like the manual lighter on my 1973 furnace.

So tomorrow maybe running water.......................
I did order the new oil pan gasket today. That was quite the ordeal finding the one piece gasket. No one locally knew anything about it but Ford Racing makes one. Mine should arrive next week and then the big question........WILL SMOKEY STILL BE SMOKEY AFTER THIS??????
Tune in later on that question.
