What seats are those?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looks like Kirkeys to me

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Yup they are.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

They are Kirkey's! They are just a padded aluminum seat but they hold you in real well!

I am at a loss with my junk it actually ran pretty decent off and on today! My problem (whatever it is) comes and goes!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Are you running a crank trigger? make sure it is the correct polarity and that the wires do not run with(touch) any other wires. I also had a fan motor going south that effected the crank trigger. Did you "phase" the dizzy? check to make sure the rotor is pointing at #1 at TDC

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It does have a trigger and it is phazed and the wiring has not changed since last year. The only thing different is I'm using 16 volt batteries! We thought we may have had a bad pickup so I borrowed one the wires match up color to color!

How did the fuel pressure turn out?

16 volt and fuel pressure just turned on a light bulb upstairs! Might be over running the regulator.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Good point....

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

You aren't the only one who thought that voltage might have been a problem but my regulator has a -10 supply and a -10 return line! It was running good again tonight with the 16 volt but for the heck of it I swapped to a 12 volt it still ran good then the gremlins returned! I'm confused!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

have you tried another known good carb?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I did try a new dominator but it did not have progressive secondaries so it was really strange!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Cooper and I talked a while ago. Next time it acts a fool throw the timing light on it. Maybe the MSD is bouncing the retard on.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Hey Big Jimzlll
did you buy those headers ready to install or did you build them yourself?

Hard to find big tube headers for our trucks , found some weld up stuff that they say I can make fit but I will probably need a few extra bends also.

Very cool ride.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

The hedders on my truck are hooker super competition for a malibu. I had to modify a couple of tubes but I have a fat man front end!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

The headers on there now are custom made, the ones I had on it at first I made from a Stahl A arm kit.
Both are over the fram styles

These are the Stahl ones I made

And these are the ones I bought made for the truck
I'm using these now

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

My junk still has the factory front end ( at least for now) .
Just finished the backhalf all Moser with a ladder bar set up and looking to put in a 567 profiler bbc and a better glide so gonna need a good sized header tube. I guess with a little patience I can probably build a set or modify an existing set.
I really like the over the frame look, be it helps keep the starter cool.:cool:

Thanks Guys

Keith

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Nice work guy's. I love drag trucks, seeing all this gives me the motivation to start on my blazer.

Keep the updates coming.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Jim what does your truck weigh? That frontend looks light. Do you still have trailing arms?
