That thing is AWESOME!!!!!! If I remember, you just use the OD like you're shifting into 4th. That thing would be SICK with that power train left in it!!!

Here's a couple pics of it. I wish I had gotten some close up pics of the gunk, but oh well. If you look closely you can see the valves with no rocker on them are stuck down. Also note the gunk build up on top of the pistons.

So I got everything back together, and figured I would check the gas tank before I put new gas in it. Lucky I did! Here's what I found. So now I'm looking for a new tank and sending unit...:smoke:

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
Good thinking on dropping that tank! While you are at it, I'd replace the pump and filters.
I'd just order up a new tank and sending unit, along with a new sending unit wire. (The original will undoubtably be dry rotted, and considering the location it would be prudent). Just looking at those pictures, I can smell the varnished gasoline! |

I had a 68 c10 307 with a three on the tree and overdrive. I never did get it to work right. when i sold it the new owner pointed out that there was a fuse holder near the brake booster that was missing a fuse. it had somthing to do with the over drive.

Thanks!

Re: Newtz '68 Burb
So the best deal I've found for a gas tank is The Truck Shop. $192 + shipping for the tank, sending unit, and straps. Anybody have a better idea? Thanks for any input...
