Re: Daverods project 66
 

probably should have ordered it from AVS. We got a new CNC at work other one was having some problems so we have to set it up and play with it.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave -where did you finally set your timing at with the new HEI? What is your plug gap setting ?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I set my plugs at 45. I think my timing is at 8. I was moving it around to see what it did. I was kinda amazed at how much I could move it and it would still run about the same. Let me know what you set yours at.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got my brackets for my bags. Put everything together. Watched it go up and down and up and down. Need to hook up two more lines for my rear.:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Be careful watching that up and down stuff.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol::lol: Your just not kiddin. It pretty easy to forget that the frame hits the ground and smashes everything in its way.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I dont know what your problem is Dave, but I haven't see a pic of the front laying frame yet.

Pics of it didn't happen.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

My front tires/wheels are to big. I have a 17" rim and the tire height is 30" they hit my cab. The tires on my 64 are only 27 " tall. If I stand on the cross member it's about 1" from the ground. Figured out why my upper arms where hitting the frame (post 1514). No shims. Need to get some 15" rims and different tires. Guess I'll pull my cab off and paint my frame next.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

seen photos of wat people did to there cabs to get 22 inch rims and tires to fit
they cut out the piece hitting the tire and weld in a piece of trailerfender , works quite good actually

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I guess I better good measure some tire wheel combos. I was thinking I would do 18 or 20's.:ito:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Put my engine on my frame. Tested out the front bags.:metal: Everything worked good. Pulled the oil pan off my 64 and changed the gasket. What a pain in the butt.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Made a little movie but could'nt get it to load. You have to go to my photobucket. It under 66 chevy .http://s697.photobucket.com/albums/v...hevy%20bagged/

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey what it that blue oval doing parked in the driveway? Your garage is much to clean .. No wonder you get stuff done. I spend way to much time looking for the parts I just set down and now cant find..... Your Frame looks good laying down on the slab!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I knew someone would say somthing, Plan is to trade it for a s10 then put a 51 on it. Don't tell the wife it's hers and she doesnt know the plan.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Nice work daverod. Let's see some real progress now that the weather is getting nice.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think real progress is linked more to money then it is to the weather.:waah: But it is nice to see summer.:metal: Least I get to drive my 64 .:mm:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Good point. I guess I get a little lazy when it's "cold" outside. You know, down in the 50's.
Brrrr.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave you need a s10 frame I got one, It's just the frame. you will have to come and pick it up though.

The frame looks good.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks but I think the gas would kill the deal.;) You could bring it up here it though.;) Put it in the back of a 2 1/2 ton and tell them you need to do a road test.:lol: We use to go get fire wood that way till we rolled one off the side of the road. Told the CO someone hit us in the parking lot.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

that's funny man. It's not that easy any more.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ordered a trans cross member from brothers.:smoke: Thinking about getting a quart of por15 for my frame? Don't know if I'm rich enough for the por15? Feeling kind broke this month.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yeah im with you there dude :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

When you use the POR-15 make sure it's in a clean environment because it dries very show and will collect dirt. Especially in a dry climate. Where it's humid it dries faster. And mix it really good to get all the deposits from the bottom.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Think a qt will be enough?;) Did'nt you have a problem with the shine? I'm going to get semi gloss?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yes, but it might have been because I didn't mix it good enough. I think a qt should do it if you use a brush. Just make it as smooth as you can with the brush. Watch for runs. :uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Least you have some nice wheels and tires.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Wheels maybe but i wouldnt look too close at the tires if your impressed with them ;) :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Well they look good from the side. :lol: I'm going to see if I can get 20" to fit. I like the looks of yours.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:haha: thats what she said..

Yeah i like them because they are simple and not too blingy.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

If you guys are just feeling broke this month yall are doing good. I'm always feeling broke.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave, there always good deals on E-Bay, or Craigs List. People are in dire straights, and are giving things away.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Least you have a job and steady check.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Finally got my 64 running again. The oil pan gasket kicked my a$$. If anyone is thinking about doing this job be prepared. I had to jack up both sides of the motor up about 2" still could'nt get the pan off. Ended up just cleaning it up while it was still in place and put the new gasket on. When I went to put the engine mount bolts back on I stripped one.:waah: Good thing is they only cost about $6. Filled it up with royal purple and ran a can of sea foam threw it. Runs great no leaks. I'm a happy camper;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Not for long though. I'm getting a med board so I'll be out in about another 4 months.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Well then you won't have a job but you'll still get a disability check and unemployment forever. Look on the good side you should get a lot done on your truck. Get started on the body work, muds cheap. Could have a bad back and no checks or health insurance.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yeah could be a ton worse..

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Decided to go with the POR15 for my frame. I think I made a good choice.:smoke: Auto paint store had it in stock. Paints on really nice, kinda like water. Just have to watch for runs. Qt should be plenty for my frame.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Get it on your hands and it has to wear off so look out :lol:
