Re: 1964 Sleeper | 5.3 | 75mm turbo | Caged | 4 Link
Started on the wiring for the truck. I decide to start from scratch and build a custom fuse block as their will be minimal circuits on the truck and it will be a lot cheaper than a painless or similar kit. I love the look of the panels this company does so I'm going to do something similar. http://www.ceautoelectricsupply.com/...laypanels.html
Started with the ignition switch panel. Because who doesn't love hitting several toggles to start their truck? http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...psjywp0eun.jpg http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...pstxm7qm1e.jpg http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...psi2butkdb.jpg |

Beautiful project here. Seriously!........but am I the only one not fooled here?? 17 my a**..................... You don't acquire skills like this at that age. Either you are BS'ing us on your age or you're getting a lot of help from someone else......

Fuel pumps should never be wired to their own toggle switch for power (you never want to require a mechanical input from the driver to cut power to a fuel pump). Fuel pumps should be routed through your ECM, through a fuel pump safety switch or similar. The only time toggles come into play is if you are running a redundant (A/B) fuel system and require ability to switch over in case of blockage or a failed pump without stopping - such as in race conditions. You may already have something planned but food for thought.

Remember "12V switched power" is just 'activated' power to trip your relay... doesn't necessarily mean a toggle. Last thing you want is a fuel pump chugging along after you smack into something and are unable to get to the toggle switch - that would be no bueno!

Now you got the idea... many engine management systems will use a negative relay trigger for their pump(s).
Nice build by the way... keep keepin' on. |

Thanks everyone! Been thinking about building some long tube headers that work on drop member/lowered c10's. Think there would be any interest in those?

The relay and fuse panel is mostly wired. My OCD was in full effect while doing this

What fuel pump did you use?

I shaved the stock intake to make it look a little cleaner and less distracting. What it looked like stock http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...pswvn1vv5s.jpg

great mod on the intake.

Re: 1964 Sleeper | 5.3 | 75mm turbo | Caged | 4 Link
Enjoying your amazing build. On your 4-link: Did you use equal length upper and lower arms? Are they exactly parallel or do you have some torque equalization built in?
|
Re: 1964 Sleeper | 5.3 | 75mm turbo | Caged | 4 Link
Better late than never.
I'm in Killer detail work by the way |
