Today I mounted the rails for the distributor wires they look ok, but not in love with this set up. I got some stainless 5 inch 1/2x 20 bolts coming for the rails. My brother in law works at a machine shop and he's doing me a favor and cutting these out for me. I only put these on for now. I also installed the down pipes that I got in the mail yesterday. I will be installing the pipes and muffler tomorrow. |

Re: 1968
I bought some alum wire seperators to fix that problem. You might be right on the rails. after I get the special bolts I will try the lower site for the rails.

I mounted the carb today. and ran all my rubber hoses except for the gas line. I need a straight fitting. I bought a elbo fitting, so I will return it and get a straight one.
also here are a couple pictures of the down pipes mounted on the engine. |
Re: 1968
Looking great man... almost there! I would shorted that vac line up a little bit so its off the water neck though.

Today I put the braded gas line on the carb and mounted the new air filter. looks like it going to work. The other one was a little large and it hit the HEI distributor.

I got my exhaust system about 95% done. I need to weld a brace to support the hanger and a couple of down spouts and it will be done. I will install the tail pipes later. I need to take the truck to the muffler shop for that. Too many bends.

Re: 1968
George you could save yourself some money at the muffler shop and do what most guys do, dump the pipes right before the rear axle and call it good.

Today I took the picture of the turn downs on the mufflers, so here it is. I also started sand blasting the wheels. I had three so I went to the bone yard and purchased two more. One for the spare tire.
