So, my wife and kids are gone for several days. I decided to stop procrastinating and start the serp conversion.
All is going pretty well so far. Spent the morning taking all the stock accessories and brackets off.
After they came off I started putting stuff together, I did run into 2 small problems.
1. Fuel line
I guess I need to reroute with a new line. Anyone have suggestions on easiest way? Get ride of hard line, go with hose to carb?
2. Need longer bolt/stud
This is for the hole in passenger/outside head.
All the bolts I have for this are too short. I went ahead and got the smog delete pulley. I browsed alittle the other day at the junkyard, but every serp bracket was minus smog pump and of course none of the long bolts or studs. I measured and a 6" bolt would do, give me about 3/4 thread in the head.
