Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
Sorry missed your post last night.
Per the last gas tank pic, he is referring to the brass fitting next to the fill hose, he's asking if the part of the brass fitting inside the hose is a hose barb ( just like whats sticking out) or if you stuffed a threaded end inside a the hose and clamped it down. Per the belts, i run one belt to the power steering and crank pulley, one belt on the crank, water pump and alternator pulley's. this is the standard belt routing. As per the carb, there is an adapter plate you can buy that's suppose to work for the chevy truck by clamping to the throttle lever, i don't have one tho. lots of auto parts stores and places like Jeg's carry a bracket to mount throttle and kick down cables on. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...throttle.shtml I used something like this one: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...questid=399957

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
It's cool I am stuck at work for the night. The tank cam with the fittings installed but to me it looks like they are threaded into the polymer and then clamped.
Looks like I have the belts set up the same way.   I haven't had much luck with the first set of plates I got, and returned them to summit. I got to talking to a local guy at a local parts shop and showed him some of my pics and he's said I was practicall good to go. Just use the original bracket on the back left (driver side) of the carb bolt. So here's what I can up with...     Posted via Mobile Device

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
Cant see where the kick down cable is mounted but it looks like you got it all covered.
Wish i had thought of using the stock bracket that way before i bought the aftermarket. Back when i did mine i didn't have internet so all i could do was ask a neighbor so followed his advice.

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
I think it goes straight back to the firewall? I'll check in the morning.
I just need to figure out where to put the spring, I saw this on the interwebs and it seems easy enough. Thoughts?  Posted via Mobile Device

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
Heres another one, little closer....the reason the spring is mounted to the forward position (on your ford picture), is to have the wear more uniform...throttle cable pulls the shaft to the rear, and with the spring in the rear mounted position, all the wear is on the back of the throttle shaft. But, if you put the spring forward of the throttle shaft, it equalizes the pressure, supposedly
Pay no attention to the outside cable, thats for cruise control  FishinTrip157 by jarosaj, on Flickr

Now how do I know how much spring tension to use? I noticed the one pictures here has a spring inside a spring. I was just planning on using the stock spring because it seems totally fine. Thanks again. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
What are these and can I get rid of them? Lots and lots of vacuum lines here... Some seem to go to these little doohickeys and are connected to nothing else? Pardon my lack of proper nomenclature.
  This one looks like it opens up a side vent of some sort...  Posted via Mobile Device

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
Theyre part of the ac system, put them on the classifieds and make some bucks.....if that is a glass fuel filter i see, get rid of it, if its plastic get rid of the worm drive clamps, and put spring clamps on it.....

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
Does it really matter what fuel filter I get? Would be nice to have a aluminum one.

Re: FNG 72 K5 CST Project
So after I get back to this and just want a heater, does anybody have any pics of what it looks like when it's done? Does the box need to go back in? Or maybe I pick up a factory one that just had heat? Thanks
