Now we start working on the TPI (It’s nasty)

skymangs · 07-25-2020, 03:49 PM

The runners will have a set of straightening and enlarging balls run through them enlarging them to stage 3, or about 1/4”. I have a 90-92 speed density ECM, and I bought a custom speed density Harness from Larrys Electric. I also have a weld in O2 bung and a knock sensor.

skymangs · 07-25-2020, 04:01 PM

Attached are some pictures of when I did it on Cecil.

skymangs · 07-30-2020, 07:33 PM

Here’s my new polished aluminum exhaust manifolds and stud kit being installed!

siggyfreud · 07-30-2020, 08:42 PM

Looking good! Are you switching over to an electric fuel pump as well for the TPI setup?

skymangs · 07-31-2020, 10:26 AM

Have to, TPI requires 45~50 PSI

Yep, just didn't see you mention it and saw that it was just a few months ago that you all put the Edelbrock pump in, so was curious

.

**1971Stepside** · 07-31-2020, 10:36 AM

Interesting. I've never seen one of these taken apart. Thanks for sharing.

skymangs · 07-31-2020, 02:22 PM

Sure any specific pictures you want just let me know

skymangs · 08-05-2020, 06:28 PM

Lower intake cleared up, painted, and installed

siggyfreud · 08-05-2020, 06:36 PM

Do you have a plate for the EGR blockoff, or going to block it another way?

skymangs · 08-05-2020, 06:42 PM

Are you referring to the port in the middle of the manifold? I was gonna have Michael make a block off plate.

Yup. I bought a manifold once where the previous owner just caked it with silicone, so was going to recommend a plate of some kind instead

.

skymangs · 08-05-2020, 07:23 PM

He’ll make a plate of 1/8” steel

skymangs · 07-10-2021, 07:31 PM

We’re finally working on Tweety again, covering it to Tuned Port. This is the lower intake all torqued down.

skymangs · 07-12-2021, 09:01 PM

Wyatt cleaning up the fuel rail
replacing injectors with 26 lb/hr Bosche and regulator with an adjustable one.

skymangs · 07-13-2021, 08:30 PM

The timing tab mounted
The fuel rail all cleaned and painted

skymangs · 07-14-2021, 08:09 PM

Today we took the bed off
And started looking at what it would take to mount the under bed fuel tank

skymangs · 07-15-2021, 08:47 PM

The new gas tank where it’s supposed to sit. We have a few rivet to remove before we’re ready to bolt it in

skymangs · 07-16-2021, 09:31 PM

so today we put together the fuel rail. That’s an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, AN adapters on the fuel lines, and 26 lb/hr Bosch injectors!
We also got the under bed tank bolted in.

skymangs · 07-17-2021, 06:06 PM

we began cleaning up the frame today in preparation for paint.

skymangs · 07-19-2021, 07:58 PM

Got the frame all cleaned and ready for paint!
Got all the old exhaust out too!

skymangs · 07-20-2021, 10:51 PM

Got the frame all cleaned and painted, tomorrow the rear end and trailing arms!

skymangs · 07-21-2021, 09:02 PM

The entire back half is in paint! Now for the gas tank.

skymangs · 07-22-2021, 08:39 PM

Got the gas tank in
fuel rail bolted down/balancer on.
