Re: Daverods 52
The speedo will bounce a lot when the cable inside needs lubed up. It might have broke or seized.

Re: Daverods 52
Been cutting out of work early just so I can run home and go burn around in the 52. Going further and further away from home. Still havent hit the hyway. Had to adjust the front wheels had one that was way cock eyed. Did get it up to about 50 and tested out the overdrive. Now I want a 700r4 in my 64. Did manage to hit the wrong buttons a few times and dumped it driving down the road.haha. Or the stupid dog standing on the switch box. Tires rub on the top of the fenders sometimes when I'm real low and the front is way up. Burned some of the paint off the fenders. Wife is gone for awhile so I don't want to take it too far and have something happen. So far everythings good. I'll get some pics and maybe a movie tomorrow. Posi works good. My drive way has proof. My diff. does'nt move around like it does in my 64.

Re: Daverods 52
PVC valve started to make a tic tic sound. Had me worried till I figured out what it was. Maybe bad? Throttle petal was'nt letting it open all the way up. Big hammer a vise fixed that. Somewhat fast now.haha wider tires and more weight in the back would be a good thing.

Re: Daverods 52
what are you wearing in the picture, a dress?

Re: Daverods 52
yes... it was a dress. you're supost to be looking at the truck smart a$$. Just the sun playing tricks on your old eyes.

Re: Daverods 52
after all of the old stuff of bygone days, I figured that it may have been a subliminal message of some sorts. why is the truck sitting on the ground , did you take a torch to the springs or something. the truck seems to be in pretty good shape otherwise

Re: Daverods 52

The chains and the jack are to hold the bed boards down till I make a run to Lowes to get some 2" bolts. I already said it was a dress. I would get some footage but the dog has'nt learned that yet. Next week. Really surprised how well the truck runs. Kicked in some 4 barrels yesterday. Overdrive seems to shift up then down? weird.. Still need to play with it. I think I have the TV cable about right? Went from soft to stiff to right inbetween ..feels right? Hope it snows one last time so I can do some plowing.:smoke: Patinia on both turns out to be most fake.:lol:and bake. Couple old trucks that probably never thought they would run down the road again.:mm::exit:

Re: Daverods 52

Thanks bud. New pics and footage when the wife gets home with a real camera phone. haha Love the sound of this thing. So glad I swapped the heads out for the better heads. Now I need some electric cut outs. State trooper gave me the big eye yesterday. Maybe for no front plate? Maybe he just liked my truck. Hope he's a lover and not a hater. Got pulled over for no front plate on my 64 so I got classic plates you only have to run one on the back. Makes so much sence...not.:smoke::mm: Guess I've have to find a 1952 Idaho plate. I think they make one with a skier on it.... that would be cool. Maybe I could just put a 52 tag over the 47. DMV's not that smart.

Re: Daverods 52
Bought a new PVC valve still ticks WTF. Do I even need a PVC valve? I might have my valve covers on wrong one has two holes one has one hole. The valve Is in the one with one hole? don't klnow if that would make a diff? Maybe a different brand PVC?
|
Re: Daverods 52
your vacuum is sitting at a place where it is opening and closing the pcv valve as soon as you change the rpm that should change. here is an informative thread about pcv
http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/sh...hp?tid/291749/ perhaps it is that dress that is causing all of your vacuum fluctuations. ron |
Re: Daverods 52
dave,
what carb you got? are you running an air filter on one valve cover that has two holes? I run and eddy 600 right now, pcv is on drivers side, on pass side I run filter. But I have two oil inlets on both sides of my covers, they are old cal custom covers. |
Re: Daverods 52
Lets see I bought so many I forgot. Its a holley 650 street avanger. Now I know what the other hole is for..da. I just put a breather cap on it. Good info on the PVC valves. Thanks Ron Going to see if a different kinda won't shut it up.:smoke:
|
Re: Daverods 52
I would check the vacuum pressure to see if you don't have a leak or something

Re: Daverods 52
dave,
the pcv info was cool, def learn something new everyday. However, if you have a mild engine and bought a stock pcv, I'm not so sure if that is your problem entirely. Indeed a vacuum gauge would be proper. I run one off my eddy, def helps with lots of things, really one of the best ways your engine is telling you how its doing. With the holley I dunno which ports are what don't run them and haven't looked yet. But you should have one big port for boosters and the other for pcv I'd presume. also are you running a breather on the other valve cover? |
Re: Daverods 52
Everything rubs nice it's just the click click of the PVC. I do have a breather and a breather cap on the other valve cover. Think it's just the wrong PVC for my cam/heads? Cool plate Orrie. I'm running just a back plate on my 64 because it has a 64 plate. Funny the lady at DMV said I could only drive it in parades..? Don't even know their job... No that's not their job.. they just take your $$$. They should know .. I'm not even part of the DMV and I know. They offer several classic type plates.... some are for parades. Insurance and plates was the first thing I bought after I fired up the engine... I don't want to give them any excuse...welll except for the front plate. hahah I'll fix that when I find a 52 plate with a skier on it. Or a 52 tag to cover the 47 stuff.

Re: Daverods 52
the 52 looks perfect sitting in your driveway, and your license plate firewall is confusing to the eye because of the direction and colors but is a really cool idea. You've built yourself a real head turner out of this one
|
Re: Daverods 52
Thanks Dubie. You think the firewall is confusing you don't want to see the headliner.

Re: Daverods 52
Man they look great sitting side by side in the driveway........congrats man......heck of a job.

Re: Daverods 52
I watched for quite a long time and a 1M 1950 Plate finally turned up on Ebay a few years ago and I registered my 50 with it (I live in Madison Co.). Last year I found a 53 4B Plate in the Netherlands that I'm going to put on my Suburban. 4B because I grew up in Bingham county. I also got a 47 1A Plate for my Panel.
Jefferson and Fremont county DMV's are the same way, they don't have a clue how it works with Year of Manufacture. I hate to burst your bubble but they won't let you use a 47 plate with a 52 tab. The counties don't really have anything to do with YOM plates, that stuff goes through Boise. |
Re: Daverods 52
What!!!!! I thought I had the perfect plan. I'm still going to try. haha Just got done plowing snow. Funny as hell. No sparks though bummer. So now I have to find a real 52 plate with a skier on it. I don't think they made them that year. I'll have to do some looking. Thanks wutnxt. Been keepion my eye on ya.
I'm pissed they only made the skier plate one year 1947 now I have to buy another truck.:lol::smoke: Some years they did'nt even make plates...:smoke: |
Re: Daverods 52
In 52 they used the 51 plates with a 52 tag. I have seen some actual 52 plates (no tags) but most of them are 51 plates.
To bad yours isn't a 50 I have a Bannock County 1950 Plate. I will make you a deal on this one. [IMG]http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/...psc9da3da2.jpg[/IMG] |
Re: Daverods 52
ok. Pm me
I'm liking the tag.:lol::smoke: It's good to have friends. See ya tomorrow. |

Did I say I love plowing snow. The bottom of my truck is nice and smooth now. No ulgy seams on the bottom of the fenders. haha. The low point seems to be right were the arms for the 3 link hook up to the frame. Need to build me some drag blocks before my truck turns to metal dust. Got me a new plate from the Beast. Thanks Jared good talking with you. Learned alittle more about my 700r4. The more I play with it the more I like it. Gez now I sounding like Strodder.:lol::smoke: Got done playing with my wood. Went with the rustic old look. :lol: See how Boise likes my new 52 plate.:sumo:
