Re: PO has me PO'd
I find it hard to believe you haven't made any new progress. What's up?
|
Re: PO has me PO'd
sorry for not updating, but just enjoying life. this is my off season, where I catch up on my other projects. Did get to drive the shifter cart for a while, it's a blast.
doing alot of road trips, just got back from Sturbridge flea market, lots of cool stuff up there, picked up some automobilea. |
Re: PO has me PO'd
That's not a good excuse Jim. Those of us without skills need our regular dose of progress.
J/K. Enjoy your off season. |
Re: PO has me PO'd
alright,alright! I got you're drift, no more crickets. Here are some updates, quadrajet and dual point dizzy going back in, TPI and computers going on the shelf. Pics to follow

Re: PO has me PO'd
That looks nasty.

Re: PO has me PO'd
I got rid of my TPI setup and went with a Holley Sniper. I like it.
Might be an option for you? Looks like someone was a little rough on that heater hose nipple... |
Re: PO has me PO'd
I was looking for the cool factor, but you're right , there maybe better systems out there!
Note the red arrow, cracked intake manifold. That's what happens when you use a tapered easy out, I was able to get a hacksaw blade in there to cut some of the threads and roll back the fitting with a punch. Hopefully I can have it tigged Just one of my SNAFUs. on to the shaft bushings for the quadra jet |
Re: PO has me PO'd
I seen the crack before the arrow. Hopefully it is a simple weld and good to go.
|
Re: PO has me PO'd
Installing throttle shaft bushings, grind the staked screws or you WILL snap the heads off. mark blades for location and direction

Re: PO has me PO'd
very little wear on the shafts, can't feel it with your fingernail

Be careful!, what appears to be a slotted screw is not, just a spring holder in the slot. The silver screw does come off for disasembly. In my application both shafts had to come out for the bushing kit to be used these shafts are very delicate, so don't force things when you disassemble |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Still Waaaaay more patience than I have bud. I have none when it comes to carb rebuild or all that wiring you were doing for the other style. I am gritting my teeth not really wanting to do a harness upgrade on my panel even though I know it should be done.

Re: PO has me PO'd
No way dude. Don't give up on it Jim. I've taken a ridiculous numbers of steps backwards on mine over 11 years. You've done so much. Don't farm it out now. Take a break, come back to it. Keep making progress.

Re: PO has me PO'd
AJ, thanks for posting up, but time is my constraint, I'm 67 going on 68 in August, and I'm afraid I won't get to drive it much as I get older. So, I've made the choice to get it worked on by someone who understands the system...
For me, it's like putting a string on a yo yo, when you don't know what a string or yo yo is or does, it just doesn't make sense to me, and trust me when I say I've tried, I've sourced, I've read, sourced, and read some more, gleamed thru countless wiring diagrams, to no avail. If someone had done this before, I would have been able to ask questions, but no one has You've been a great source of info. over the years, and I consider you my friend, sorry to let you down, but it just has to be this way |

I totally get the aspect of wanting to drive it. Get it done and get in the driver's seat. Keep us posted. |

[QUOTE=jaros44sr;8549678]Richard, got the battery hold down yesterday, thank you. Can I at least pay for postage and paint?
BTW, have'nt seen any kids playing with yoyos lately for me to ask, if you do, get me an email addy QUOTE] Jim Glad it arrived. No need, consider it a small contribution to the build. TBH I probably would need help with the yoyo nowadays lol Richard |

Re: PO has me PO'd
tank is mounted in truck, filler neck hose installed. What a pita putting tank up even with a trans jack
seems the repop manufactorer coundn't measure, as the mounting holes for the "U" bracket were off by a 1/4", didn't have a tool to do the job quickly so I just grabbed a rat tail file, and made a bunch of noise Later will install rubber, between tank and straps. also, received a filler neck clamp from Eric(1972 jimmy). Didn't even know they had a clamp |
