So this morning I started to make a heater duct to go on the end of my 30A electric heater so I can attach the defrost pipes.
I started with a piece of Stainless sheet and 2" pipe. 4 hrs later. I left the gaps at the front side to give some heat down at your legs. It's all installed and hooked up just have to tidy some wires. It fits just behind the bottom lip of the dash. Attachment 1519444 Attachment 1519445 |

Today I put the running board checker plate back on and installed the box skirts.
I also got my now fake gas filler mounted with it's new gasket and mounting bracket. It just has a screw to the inner cab skin. Attachment 1519802 Attachment 1519803 Attachment 1519804 |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Good idea to finish out the hole. Hopefully the cap is sealed. :)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
More nice work! That heater will definitely help. My 40 Ford didn't have a heater and it can get sketchy in the fall. Open the cowl vent and enjoy the freeze out. :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
nice job on the cap! I stuck an upside down pop cup from QuikTrip in my 65 :lol: It worked to seal against the rubber and didnt let any water in, and not one person noticed.

Well this weekend I got lots done. Saturday morning I met up with a friend of a friend who works at a local injection shop. We spent 4 hrs going through the pump and injectors. The pump was out of spec and after putting some new parts into it and calibrating, it is perfect. 4 injectors where good 3 where low on pressure and one was blocked by me not having the right tools to take them apart. But all good now. By Saturday night we fired the motor back to life and wow it purrs now, also has wicked throttle response. It was so worth the time and effort. It's amazing how much better it runs on 8 cyl. lol
Sunday got both my door poppers wired permanently, cleaned up my heater wires, also terminated some other wires. This Saturday is my first drive ever!! :metal: Oh and my bday and my maiden voyage. Attachment 1521350 Attachment 1521351 Attachment 1521352 Attachment 1521353 Attachment 1521354 |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Wow quite the machine he has there I looked around my town and couldn't find anyone that had even heard of flow matching injectors. Everyone I talked to either said "I don't work on that new crap" or "Just get bigger injectors"
I think we can all agree that we need that madden voyage video |
