Sinister · 11-16-2009, 08:25 PM

Showed up today. Pretty psyched to work on the truck.

Bpokey · 11-16-2009, 08:31 PM

Looks like a fun few days! It's amazing how many dollars worth of parts fit in one small box.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-16-2009, 08:47 PM

heck yeah i bet your excited!!

LUCKY, hey if you dont wany any of those i'll pm you my address...

Sinister · 11-16-2009, 09:23 PM

Yah, I'm looking forward to this. Cant remember the last time I had to use my torque wrench.

tcb-1 · 11-16-2009, 09:50 PM

torque wrench, what's that? I just tighten 'til it creaks!

nice stuff Sin, looks like the ol' girl is getting a nice little upgrade! I can imagine you'll get a bit of a mileage boost too with the Edelbrock?

Sinister · 11-16-2009, 09:55 PM

Lol, Hey Doug. I just couldn't take looking at the greasy mess under my hood anymore. Compression tested good, so I said why not. An increase in mileage would be a bonus.

**leddzepp** · 11-16-2009, 10:08 PM

Looks like you got a little can of gasga-cinch there too....that's good stuff!

unclewatts · 11-17-2009, 12:03 AM

Very juicy present! You're gonna love those shocks.

dan42 · 11-17-2009, 12:15 AM

Cool - I'm gonna treat my '67 to a new intake and carb in a while - throw the old carb on the Longhorn. That dang Longhorn is growing on me. It's like a lost puppy that just hangs around.

*highperf4x4* · 11-17-2009, 12:40 AM

Cool is that a th400 pan with a drain plug?

Hey Scott, yup, some Gaskacinch, usually use a dab of RTV, wanted to try it.
Some Board members suggested GR2's for a softer ride, but I'd already ordered the Gasajusts. Gonna run em and see. SKB doesn't list a rear GR-2 for a 3/4 ton with coils anyway. Yup, Th-400 pan with a drain, have to change out my detent solenoid, so I thought I'd go for some bling.

*vegaschevy* · 11-17-2009, 09:17 AM

nothing beats the big brown santa

72BlckButy · 11-17-2009, 09:33 AM

Money well spent...

*highperf4x4* · 11-17-2009, 01:43 PM

Cool, so where did you order the pan and how much did it set you back? If you don't mind me asking.

$26 from Summit.

*highperf4x4* · 11-17-2009, 02:03 PM

Cool and with the drain plug too that's not bad. Thx, I'm gonna go get one.

**leddzepp** · 11-19-2009, 02:46 PM

That is a great price for the pan! I've added one on my list now. Just remember to scuff the mounting surface real good before installing it. Chrome doesn't seal very well, and this will help prevent leaks. A good quality seal and that gasgacinch, and you should not have to worry about any leaks on the new bling.

Jim_PA · 11-19-2009, 02:57 PM

Should have went with the Qjet

I would have, but I've had good luck with Edelbrocks in the past, and it was a remanufactured one at a price that couldn't be beat. $100 cheaper then the Quadrajet. Plus I'm gonna be running a squarebore intake.

x2 on the Edelbrock

Here is another Brown Santa for you Mclairmo....Howdee Ho!

You could ask him for some buddy buckets for Christmas.

mclairmo · 11-19-2009, 04:44 PM

I have to admit I did not know what "Brown Santa" meant and thought this thread was going to be about something totally different. My bad.

Sinister · 11-19-2009, 04:46 PM

UPS = "Brown Santa"

Gotcha. I could think of a million jokes, none of which would be appropriate for this section of the forum.

*highperf4x4* · 11-20-2009, 02:40 AM

I like the q-jets and the edelbrocks both. The edelbrock is way easier to tune and seldom give any trouble. But I haven't quite been able to match the top end performance of the q-jets.

And............. they sound cool......................

q-jet secondaries give me a hard**

**special-K** · 11-20-2009, 07:39 AM

Was Santa brown or was his sleigh?Looks like you`ve been a nice boy.Santa doesn`t give naughty boys stuff like that.
