Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Have you ever checked the factory tach with a newer tach?
I know alot of those old factory tachs read high. I bet you are turning less RPM's than it shows,... |

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Ok I have a little goody coming today...In the meantime I am going to have to patch the hole in my high hump.....the truck that is :lol:
I have some seam sealer and a buddy gave me some perfectly gauged sheet metal that is galvanized so worry about rust. I was thinking since its gonna eventually be under carpet that I could just seam seal it and screw it down to hump? Otherwise I can weld it in. I was gonna get a low hump patch piece from KrazyRay but because my engine is in the 6 cylinder position I am afraid the low hump will not work? Anyone know for sure? |
Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Personally I would keep the high hump.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
I would keep the high hump too, especially if you ever decide to Porterize it :lol: I installed a high hump in mine just in case and that turned out to be the right decision as now I have front/rear dropmembers on order.

Well since my rear has always had the posi chatter (pop) when it warms up, I decided to take out the rear end and look more closely at the clutches. Hopefully all is well...

Well some good news after taking apart my posi rear end the clutches look to be in really good shape so we soaked them in friction modifier and re-assembled the rear end. Will do like 15 circles in each direction to make sure the additive gets fully into the clutches and see what happens.

Not sure on the black wheels but will ride them for a few days and see if it grows on me.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
