Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

heath the engine is looking killer!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath....I bought the ground strap kit from Wes....there were 5 straps....here are the 5 spots I tied these grounds to....
1. bed to frame
2. cab to frame
3. passenger inner fender to frame
4. tranny to firewall
5....I cannot remember where I put the dang thing:D....sorry!!!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks John

Thanks, we are going to make our own ground straps, I was curious how you mounted the straps to the firewall without damaging the paint (since they need to make contact with the metal). I bought some star washers, and we will be mounting them this weekend. we will most likely ground to the bottom area of the cab support. Thanks

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath....I basically used painters blue tape in the area we drilled the hole through the inner fender...seen it done several times....actually just looked again....i went from the tranny bolt to the throttle petal bolt that goes thru the firewall.....(still have the 68 throttle pedal and throttle rod no a throttle cable)

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thans Geoff, we have been using the heck out of the blue painters tapes....

Thanks Bro!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking good Heath.

BTW, what top radiator hose did you end up using?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice and shiny. Looks, great!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Shannon, i used PART # XL-1171 from autozone, it was in your post.... :metal:

Thanks... trying to stay a few steps ahead of you.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Good deal. I knew the part number, but I haven't seen the actual part yet. Does it "work" with your engine bay theme? Or does it stick out like a sore thumb? By that I mean it's not the first thing you see when you raise the hood is it?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

hmmm... well you can tell its there , as it has to go above the alternator... I have heard ppl using the stock v8 hose, and that working good with the serp setup but i went this route. I may check into the stock setup, since your saying its a eyesore! :lol: :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Come on now, I didn't say it was an eyesore.:lol::lol: Just wondering how well it fit in with the clean appearance of your engine.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I'll take a another gander and see :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Heath.........that engine bay looks killer!!!! The smoothed firewall is absolutely the way to go....so why didn't you tell me to do it?!?!?!?!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looks outstanding Heath!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks David, I didn't want to confuse you more by giving you more ideas to toss around .

Thanks Alan!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

we have her running a little better now. put seafoam in the oil, and will run her a little longer to clean her up a bit before changing the oil and running mobil 1 synthetic 15w - 50. trying to finish up the dash wiring so i can install the gauge cluster. then we can move on to installing the brake booster etc.
