[QUOTE=jaros44sr;4240582]got the seats recovered, what a 8 month ordeal that was, that story could be a novel, most unpleasant part of the restore so far!!!
changed the hot air choke over to electric, pretty simple and straight forward. Just switched out the guts w/ one screw Ol' Faithful...God Bless America QUOTE] Nice Seats and console! I need to do the choke thing to mine too. Just need to run the wires, but I'm having too much fun driving it! |

installer jerked me around on the price, increased it 3x. borderline bad business The only 2 positives were the 2 board members, 6T727T2 and low and slow. They were both great to deal with Quote:

How are you going to wire up your choke? I know the red is going to go to power, but how about the other one? Does it just go to ground? What decides if its on or off?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here are the newest addition to the mods and parts to the project...
didn't like the console that came with the B&M shifter, so I changed to Lokar, boots and rings seem to be a better fit. Trans, cooling lines came from In line Tube. Now, just need some time... http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip316.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip317.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip314.jpg |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Cool parts :metal:

Re: PO has me PO'd
I like those lokar rings a lot!

Re: PO has me PO'd
so does that shifter have detents for positive 1-2 and 2-3 shifts? Or could use easily overshoot 2nd and hit OD or even N?
A buddy is offering me a 2nd gen f-body shifter...it would just need a console of some sort. Even though its OEM...those shifters had detents (apply right pressure to shifter while moving forward forced lock into next detent) so you could slam 1-2 and 2-3 w/o hitting N. |

I'd say go for it!! Sounds like a better shifter for your needs |
Re: PO has me PO'd
I had been thinking of going with a B&M Truck Megashifter. I want to get away from the column shift because it won't be as accurate as I will need for burnouts, shifts during passes, etc. I'm not pleased with the look of the Megashifter...but its more about function then appearance.
Now....if their Unimatic shifter or this Lokar gave me positive upshift detents...I'd go that way. |

the work to be done list is getting shorter, and the parts list is getting shorter! Actually, I'm looking forward to another winter in the warm workshop, not much happening around here except a fishin' trip/ snowmobiling in Feb. Presidents Day, if you are around... |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Picked up some ARP flanged bolts for the pan, and another ring for the shifter, looks like I will have to build a box to mount the LED selecter to the hump, and maybe cut a 1/2" outta the t/c ring
yeah, I know, I got some more grinding to do (first pic) http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip324.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip327.jpg Here ya go Swamprat, I can see why you would miss a place like this drove up above the tree line, there was a fire in one of the states at the time, or you would be able to see much farther http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip252.jpg Big Sky is just to the left, picture taken just before I fell in the river(Galleten River) http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip253.jpg Aftermath, first time in 20 years I fell in! Water was only a foot and a half deep, but when your prone....well it was over my head http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip257.jpg Weird lookin' cows out there http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hinTrip239.jpg local story out there goes something like this: Husband decides to take his wife elk hunting with him. Sets her up in a good spot, and about an hour later hears a shot. walks down to her spot to hear her yelling and screaming at a man standing near, with her gun aimed at him! "Stay away from my ELK"...Man's response was "No problem, lady, just let me get my saddle off" |
