What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

I cussed most of today! I put an aftermarket fuel sending unit in a while back and went to wire it up today. First, the old wire fitting wouldn't push onto the terminal. The rubber was old and hardened and the stud for the sending unit was bigger than the old one. Some cussing ensued. Ok, so I cut the fitting off, and soldered an extended wire and ring fitting to the old wire. Working under the car while on your back and soldering up. Cussing. Then while sliding a section of shrink tubing over the solder joint, the wire broke. More cussing. Get all of that redone, install a tooth washer, the ring terminal, and another tooth washer. I find a nut to fit the old sending unit - drop it at least 6 times trying to thread it on. Cussing and cussing. It won't fit. Much more cussing! Try every nut in my supply - none work. Now I'm really cussing these Chinese peckerheads that made this thing. I think they made the mounting stud bigger and the thread metric just to piss me off! Took the sending unit out. Went over to the neighbor's to raid his hardware stash. First nut I picked up fit the threaded part of the stud. Didn't have to remove the sending unit after all. Well $h1T!
I quit for the day! Hopefully - tomorrow's better!
