I have one like that on my chevelle and all the plastic to metal clip points broke in a month. I replaced it and the one on a truck with this one, think its a Mr. Gasket or Accel product. Keeps everything nice and parallel and off the valve covers and headers.

Found out (in a non-destructive manner) that engine starts while automatic transmission is in drive position. Lokar shifter for TH350. There must be some type of adjustment for the detent mechanism.
Anyone got the scoop on this? |
Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Nevermind....................I found the instructions.
Hey, I can't be the only one who normally just throws the instructions away. |
Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Reading the instructions is like cheating.

^looks like you got the same springs and bracket I got. I have the other spring. Is the double spring the correct way? did you make that extension yourself or is that available at the auto parts store?

Gas tank in and hooked up, all fuel lines in place. Steering wheel, turn indicators and horn installed and working. Radiator and hoses done. All new wiring done and everything works! Note to self: Next time buy a new wiring harness instead of doing it yourself : ) Fired it up for the first time since we tore it down for the frame off. Started right up and runs great! Next up is a fan and new break lines...

I bought these signals a while back.
They are chrome plated cast aluminum and very sturdy. I made some little dies and made some clear lenses from lexan, and will use them as backup lights on the 53 chevy pickup. Attachment 1342642 Attachment 1342643 Attachment 1342646 |

So... for those of you looking at getting a truck, make sure it has a title. If not, look into what it's going to take to get it titled via Bill of Sale in your state. I'd say the hassle for me to get it titled here in CA was a good 3-5 months extra time for the hoops i had to jump through. (the other 1.5 years were life and me being lazy) So it wasn't easy, but i can't remember who said it, but as it was said, "if it was easy, it wouldn't be cool" |
