Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Wahed it..well after I pulled the trany pan put in a filter kit changed the modulator on the trans and painted the pan...swapped the 3 core rad for the 4 after I added a return for the heater hose...plumbed up the heater ....and then I put a set of points and wires in the Cady motor twisted the key to make sure it was still runnig well...and hell yea it shifts like a million $$$ and got rid of that small stumble on the bottom...stay tuned saturday is speed runs @ the air port..wish I had a bottle kit for it..
I think its about as good as its going to get...but dont we all want a bit more!!! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hmmm let me see installed a tach then promptly blew the freaking motor that is only about 200 miles old, blew chunks of the piston on #5 cylinder right out the side of the block. Hmmmmm I think a bad day overall.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I had a good day,I pulled the gas tank,cleaned it, sealed it,got it ready to put it back in.I made a new transmission crossmember so my headers can tuck up nice and tight in the framerails and last I re-built my edelbrock carb.Now just have to put it all back together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the 69 Camaro tank fabrication done and installed. I will bend the fuel lines and install them tomorrow. I like the way it came out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took the bracket for the steady bearing off the crossmember. The PO put a one piece shaft on but left the bracket, when I lowered it down it hit the drive shaft when I hit bumps. What a B*$*# of a job grinding the rivets off while lying under the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
What do you think about a 2/piece drive shaft while using a 4/6 drop? All top notch stuff was used in the drop, including shock re-locator kit from ECE, if that makes any difference.

I would go with a 1 piece, especially if your going to be putting more HP under the hood. Looks better also, in my opinion. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled a motor out of the truck and pushed it out of the way outside. Almost done with a motor for a car. Need to finish a car first. After I'll decide what to do with a truck.
