Washed it, then painted the front bumper.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I committed some more sacrilege and used a crown vic wire harness as a donor to make a new engine harness. not exactly a MisterB underhood cleanup but atleast it doesn't cut out when I hit a bump and I can finally get to those last two plugs :-)

does anybody out there know what the fuseable link running to the battery is suppose to be for? I looked at the wiring diagram can't tell what it's actually for, mine's always been disconnected. thanks

The Fusible Link is *supposed* to fry if you get a dead short in the primary hot wire , this in theory , prevents electrical fires from burning your Ship Of The Highway to the water line before you can call 911 .

The idea is to use the lowest value one you can that won't get hot and melt or go open circuit .

good looking truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

did a little work on my shifter for my 700r4, i reworked the original 4 speed shifter. i still need to extend it a few more inches, tweak the gate on it & make a shift boot.

i also picked up a cool looking speedo and gas gauge out of a buick la sabre from the junk yard along with a gauge style gear indicator, not sure if i'm going to use them on my truck yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed my new drive shaft which solved all of my problems of the truck violently shaking at high speeds. So now it rides like a dream and I sped down the highway for about an hour.:bann:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thursday I put in new rear shocks, finished hooking up back-up lights, replaced and bled flex lines for brakes, painted doors to match the rest of my satin black truck, then Friday I took to our collector car appreciation day at my place of employment. The Filling Station.
I would post pics but it wont let me.

Disconnected the vacuum advance and re-timed my truck. 10* btdc and left the vacuum advance disconnected (like GM told me to do) gives me 36* total advance just like I should have. Runs a bunch better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Washed the truck for the first time since I got it back from the body shop. Also got the wife to drive it around the block for the first time with the new fuel injection system on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Added a oil pressure guage...not in your usual location. I have a guage in the dash, but it only has graduation marks. I want to know he numerical number. I attempted to tee into the line that goes to the back go the block next to the dizzy, but no luck in finding a tee that would work. And I could not get the plug above the oil filter to budge, so I put it up front. I seem to be alway messin with some thing under my hood so I figured this spot would be perfect. I have pretty good pressure at idle...~25psi.

Charged the Vintage Air system. Good day to do it. Hot day in Buffalo, NY. Hit 91-degrees.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Cage in progress. Bout half done....Going to need to find a powdercoater soon.

It's not a certified cage as you can see. It's pieced together 2.5" 3/16 wall. It won't be as strong as contimuous tube, but will at least be able to mount the seats and belts to it. Better than nothing and all the tubing was FREE! Thinking it will get a bikini top eventually.

Yet to do, seat bars... 2 more runners along the top....and make pipe gussets where the side runners and the vertical hoops tie together.

Went to The Long beach Hot RodSwap meet looking for " KROIL " , no luck this time and i really need some ~ anyone know where to buy it off the shelf in So. Cal. ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Nate, you can order it direct from the manufacturer at Kanolaboratories.com I've never seen it in the stores. I became aquainted with it by working in the refineries and industrial sites.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I just checked, and you can buy it on amazon

Most major fastener shops carry it. I have a few cans, if I was closer I'd give you a can until you got some.

I took the 3 top bolts out of the gas tank....can't find my extension....so waiting for that so I can get the bottom 4 bolts and seat belts out.

If I can, I'll take out the carb and see what rebuild kit I'll need.

*I got the bumper guards I bought off of here....OMGOSH THEY ARE HUGE!
