Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
Quote:
I got the TV cable bracket today and found out something interesting... The Holley carb I have is a 4360 (if I remember correctly) model and was a direct replacement for the quadrajet carbs on Chevrolet engines.... or so I was told from the Holley tech line... That being said, they told me that Holley does not make a linkage mod for that carb for my 700R4. I looked at my carb closely and it does have a ball hookup at the bottom of the throttle linkage. So I thought to myself, (after being "encouraged heavily" from a good friend. Well, he basicly called me a puss for not trying it...) what do I have to loose to measure the TV cable fully extended and see if it lines up with the ball with the throttle opened wide. Sure enough it was in the correct position and when the throttle is at idle, the TV cable is fully released with no slop either direction. Does that make sence? Hmmmm....  I ran through the list of things I still need to do to my truck. 1. Install the inner fenders 2. Take the masking tape holding the tailgate closed off and install hidden latches 3. Install the power steering lines so I can have power steering 4. Install the vacuum line to the power brakes so that they work 5. Install my stereo speakers 6. Hook up the linkage for the heater controls 7. Hook up my speedometer 8. Find out why my fuel guage isn't reading fuel in the tank 9. Find out why my temp guage isn't working 10. Bleed the brakes as they are still "squishy" 11. Install door weatherstripping so my cab doesn't leak 12. Install my seatbelts 13.... I suppose there are still more things but those are the most pressing. I just had to do it... I had too... I fired the truck up and drove the sucker home. God that felt so good. I had no idea how fast I was going, if my engine was running cool or hot, if I could stop safely enough if someone pulled out in front of me or if I was frying my transmission because the TV cable wasn't adjusted right... But I got to drive it...  D
