Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Dave. It was so windy that the blades of the windmill are breaking off. And the tail is already laying on the ground. It's a piece of $hit from China. Looks good from a distance though.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

make one youreself then , seen an windmill for electric a while back that used flyweights to take out pitch of the blades when the wind picked up preventing overspeeding
it worked the same way as a steammachine regulator it was about 3 to 4 foot across , he made his own altenator for it out of an electric motor and some magnets
for water i seen them use a caraxle with welded internals and a worm in a pipe to pull up water

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Well Of course you do!! that could be your Monday truck... the 66 could be the Tuesday truck .....the 65 can be Wednesday.... until you get one for every day of the week:truck:

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I'm thinking this one is use to the rain and snow.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I knew it.:metal: That Dave guy teach ya that?:lol: Now all I need is time and $$.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thats great untill you have to insure them all and put plates on them all.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Anybody know what makes an Apache an Apache? Its no joke I just what to know.;) Damn thats a good looking dog. 40lbs and growing like a weed.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Oh... I meant you could work on them on the day assigned to them .... I did not know they would ever be driven again. That saves on license fees and insurance.
It has been 10 months since my truck left the driveway.. Sad but true.......... I started it yesterday!!! Then I went junk yard shopping today.. Found a 77 Nova with a 250 I6 that donated parts to the project. It is time to get motivated again!!!!
Found a Jimmy with a gas tank That I will go back Saturday and remove. Has a skid plate so It may be a pain to remove. I also found a I-6 HEI in the Nova that I should have gotten, Hope it still there..

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I need a HEI might just get the white's one one ebay like 65 new?:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ordered a HEI today. Got my cherry bombs on.:lol: Went with 18" bombs. For now they are just hooked up to the headers. Its frickin loud. What? Still waiting on my x pipe. Been burning around close to home pissing the folks off. The pin fell out of my clutch linkage so I had to limp home in 3rd.:lol: It was a easy fix. Once I got the wire to my choke hooked up the carb runs good. Just taped into the lighter for power. My 100 lbs bumper was a good thing I'm going to have to put some weight in the back, maybe its just all the sand on the road. Had a hard time hooking up,. Fixed all my leaks, it was a good day. Sledding tomorrow.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Put my x pipe into my headers. Hooked up my cherry bombs, a few bent pieces of pipe from auto zone and I'm almost ready to weld it all together. I just have them both coming out in front of the rear wheel on the driver side. At first I was worried it was going to be too loud. It's just right.;) X pipe really smoothed things out. Still waiting on my hei. Had a few nice days put some miles on my truck. Got crazy sleding this weekend flew off the trail, down a cliff and hung my sled in a tree by the mountain bar.:lol: Fun time:smoke: More snow coming. Sucks for trucking good for sledding.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Nice job Dave. It looks like the tail pipes will be coming out together on one side.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That seemed to be the easy way.;) And the cheap way. Did'nt feel like giving the muffler shop $350. I think I'm into the exhaust about 150. x pipe 30, bombs 60 , pipe50, hangers.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

(He meant to say we're all high here in the desert)

Re: Daverods project 66

sound clip?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Just got my hei. I'll get everything welded up tonight and do a sound clip tomorrow. Guy in a brown truck dropped off my rubber floor mat, felt, chrome thresholds and rubber seals for the doors. I've got a big weekend.:smoke: Better stock up on supplies. That's a big fricken dizzy.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

But I'm higher than you Mac :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

4500 higher then you both.:smoke: When I go sledding I'm at 9000 that almost too high. If there is such a thing.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Your really high. What are you smoken..:haha: :smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I'm not sure what it was I got it from this guy.:lol: It had a lot of red hairs in it he called it rust.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That's our Governor :haha: What a joke he is.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think he gets his stuff from this guy.:smoke::lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Now that's the biggest joke ever. :uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Omg that looks like my dog on the right. I think shes been sniffing Merfs crack.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

you guys need to lay off the smack and get on the crack. now get to work.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I know I did'nt do $hit last night.:lol: But I have all day today, so hopefully I'll get somthing done.:mm: All my TV car shows are over so go feed my horses and get somthing done on my truck. Can't wait to see how my new dizzy going to work.:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Feeding the Horses is the easy part. I hated picking up the manure. Especially when it's wet. PU :waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Why would you pick it up? If you picked it up what would the dogs eat?:lol::mm:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:haha: :haha: So true. And then they don't understand why you don't want them to kiss you. :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

whats up with the other project Dave?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

$$$$ Just waiting on some cash. Those drop front members don't come cheap. Nate never gave my one for christmas so I guess I'll have to buy one.:lol: I'm done putting money in my 64 so now I can start saving for my drop member again. My sled has a habit of soaking up money over the winter. I hope to have my member by early summer.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

so your not going to run the chopmember? lol like that one, I have one we can cut up and start selling them

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I just might run it if I don't make some easy cash.;)I'm thinking the steering might be a pain? Right now the dogs use it as a dog house they love it.:lol: I need to start working on the bed floor.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I scored a HEI distributor from a nova 250 for my 64 ... What are you planning for timing and plug gap?
The info from the manual for 77 nova 250 spark plug gap says .60--- every other year says .35 or .45.. I'm think I will just go at .45
Check your timing before you pull out the points. let me know how it works for you
I need to get a decent carb on mine before I mess with the timing..

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It kicked my butt.:waah: Wont run keeps back firing? Did I say I don't know $hit about engines? Gave up. Working on my rubber matt,felt and door rubber. Going good on that so far.Still pissed I can get my truck running.
