Re: Daverods project 66
 

did you prime and clear it? VHT makes all that stuff in the rattle can. It's what I've got on my motor and trans!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I primed it with etch did'nt clear it. I was just messing around it was left over from doing my valve covers on my 350. ;)

I think the only thing you need to worry about with an HEI is that you have a full 12 volts into the coil. Alot of the older cars and trucks had a resistor wire that dropped the voltage to like 9 volts.
You can run a new wire from your fuse block, and use a continual use solenoid to power the ignition, and that also makes it easy to make a kill switch you can hide for theft protection and or safety.
Also make sure to use high voltage plug wires, and resistor plugs, and increase your plug gap.

Welded my dash onto the lip from the old dash. After getting the ends to fit good I welded the front back in. Also welded up the seams around the windshield.:smoke: Drilled some holes for my vents. Ordered some side view mirrors from LMC. I got the round kind. Said 3 to 5 days. I've heard they're slow, we'll see. I guess today will be day 1.:lol: Kind worried about the way my gas line runs over the top of my valve cover. It's suppost to run around the front. LMC had a prebent one but it was $30. Going to see if I can find one somewhere.

You could just get a length of steel line from your local auto parts and bend it yourself.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Capt. Thats what I did came up 2" short though. It only cost $4.50 next time I'll buy one longer. Got my mirrors from LMC. The holes in my door don't line up right so I'll have to drill some new ones and weld some nuts on.

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ya that's right.:metal: It's been so long I forgot how to run my computer. Must be that short term memory lost I've heard so much about.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Huh??? What was the question again?? :haha:
Nice progress Dave

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I unpacked everything still looking for the how to for dummies page:lol: I guessd all I get is the picture. I do better with pictures anyways. Good thing I have nothing to do all winter. Well, I have to go snowmaching but thats not for awhile.:uhmk: I liked the hole you put in your fender. Custom;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Is that the SD rear kit? looks good!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That be the kit.:metal: Now all I have to do is put it together. I can't wait.:lol: I can hear that frame hitting the concrete already, or was that the sound of my dog knocking my hood over?:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol:

nice parts!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

cool :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ya you got that right. About ten grand more and it might move.:lol: 20 to make it look good. I'm starting to care less about the looking good part.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Joe. I think I used that line on a chick once. Can't remember if it worked or not. ;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I was wondering where you went off too. Glad to see you back at it.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave's not the only one. We all have been at a standstill. :smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It's a PITA. Depending on what the line is made out of. Seems like nothing looks as good as factory flares. Bottom line it must seal.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

yep i think we all know what you mean

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I'm not at a stand still. I have been sitting in a stand. Went hunting 30 days and did'nt shoot anything. Had a great time though. It's good to get back into the woods for awhile. Recharges the batts. :ito: Saw a lot of elk just not the right one. It's good to get back to my garage. It's even better when you have parts to work with.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Had a couple hours to kill. Thought I'd would see if I could figure things out a bit.;) Put my mirriors on.:smoke:
