Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Need parts for my rear diff. So ordered an open carrier for cheap and also a Loc-rite locker for the 12 bolt so will be way better than my Gov lock that blew a tooth and WILL blow again. Now waiting for parts again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I'm so close, I hate to keep asking for "de-bugging tips" from you all. But I'm going to.

A week ago, before I changed the carb from the Edlebrock to the new Street Demon, I had a little issue with starting. I didn't know if it was spark or gas,
but I smelled the gas, so the bet was flooding. The carb had been on for four years and it had just recently started up...Ran good. but too rich, and the tuning
of the secondaries wasn't responding.

During the time it wasn't firing, I pulled a plug to check for spark, waited until my grandson came home, and got knocked back on my a$$ when it fired up
on the first crank. On seven cyls. ...One I was holding in my hand.

Then I changed out the carb.

Immediately after the install, it started like a pro... after a little dialing in of the cables, electric choke, etc.

Then, yesterday, before the "maiden cruise", she wouldn't start. Tons of cranking. I didn't check for spark. After about 30 minutes of persistent cranking
(and, admittedly, some throttle pumping...then a cautionary, "Hey, no more gas, you jerk!"), she started. Strong and nice.

Went for a 20 mile cruise, and stopped three or four times...restarted perfectly during the stops at the bank, the store, etc. Came home. An hour and a half or two later,
a friend came over. Started her right up to let him hear the exhaust. Ran immediately. And nice.

This morning, I went out to move it into the garage to do some little cosmetic work...No gas on the throttle. "Crank, crank, crank".....
"Oh, SH&$"! Gas...."Crank, crank, crank!" "Double SH*%"! Off with the air cleaner. Gas is squirting big time into the primaries. Choke is open.

Off to the auto pars store. Bought a new Accel HEI coil. Came home and installed it. Fired off immediately.

Now, the problem with that diagnosis effort is that I left it for an hour to get the distributor parts. Given the same time away from the starter
(without getting the $50 Accel coil hit), she may have started right up anyway.

So, unless I re-wiggled and "fixed" an intermittent spark flaw, or something in the HEI coil was fu-bared that I fixed, I still feel the issue is with the gas.
Even though it keeps happening, and did so with a previous carb. As it does now with the new one. (Great carb, though, BTW...Huge difference in all aspects except this one)

Right now, I went out and started it up. Fires off like a champ. My guess is that tomorrow morning, after sitting all night, I'll go out and she'll crank, crank, crank.
Then I'll walk away for 45 minutes. Go back, and she'll fire right up.

Is this magic?

Once there was a door and now it is no more! :lol: Sorry for the bad cell phone pic's. I have new respect for people that cut down long beds and make short beds. The side of the bed was more jacked up then I remembered. It took some time to get to this point but this poor truck has been on the back burner for a long time and with my Sub getting the seats done I had to play with something.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

New front rotors, pads, bearings, 2.5" CCP drop spindles and 1" drop springs. Not bad for a day and the first time doing any of it. Wheels and tires on the way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Andy4639 what wiring are you using with your tune port? All factory stuff or is it an aftermarket harness? I like the air intake too! I need to do something like that on mine instead of having the filter stuck on the end of the intake

Thanks! Someday she will have a different stance with some wider tires but for now thats how she sits. I like the center caps! I need to look around and find some. any ideas?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's a Street & Performance wiring harness. I have the very old system. V-6 Feiro computer with a S&P chip in it running the V-8.
The intake housing is off a caddy and I drilled a 4" hole in the support so it sucks cool air all the time. ;):chevy:

I painted the letters on my tailgate by using vinyl stick-ons and spraying over them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
