Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
Yes, family is first. I'm four months out from seeing my daughter married. Then I'll have some extra money!

Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
Well, I got my wiring finished up it took me three days but I wasn't working on it constantly. I am pretty happy with it, for my first time I was pretty pleased with the results. I am especially stoked about having full gauges now. I am hooking up the new temp sender when I install my water pump this weekend. I also am going to be installing the new oil pressure line as well.
The only wiring I didn't replace was the heater harness but after looking it over I went ahead and ordered a new one along with the resistor for the heater. I think the best thing of all is I now have a working gas gauge for the first time. My first six months owning the truck I had no gas gauge and no speedometer. The first pic is at the scary midpoint and the second one is of my new cluster. |

Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
I am hoping to get a few more things done on the truck in the next week. My valves are really noisy under load and I want to adjust them. I need to rig up some kind of splash shield because I want to adjust them while the motor is running.
I also need a new waterpump as the one on it is getting pretty noisy. I figured I would put a fan clutch on it at the same time. The biggest thing I am tackling this weekend is swapping out the rearend. I'll post some write-ups on those later. |

Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
Hello doublel. Nice looking truck.
Fellow monroe guy with an offer. I have a set of 16 clips that I got from summit at one point to adjust the valves on a small block with it running. If you want to borrow them along with my set of thin tappet wrenches for a couple of weeks. By the way, were you also previously on my tractor forum.com? If you are interested in borrowing those tools send me a pm. Eric Posted via Mobile Device

Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
I forgot to attach a picture.
They clip around the outside of the rocker arm and plug into the center of the push rod blocking the oil. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
I think I talked to you a couple of times. I've moved into bigger engines
 I was pretty active on the tractor forums for a while. I sent you a PM Quote:

Re: DoubleL's '66 Project
Well not a real productive weekend. Got sick and had an emergency root canal. Then the throttle cable on my truck broke and I had to get a tow home. My engine is starting to rattle pretty good under load so I ended up making a major decision and retired the truck from daily driver. I am now the proud owner of a 2002 Nissan Sentra 4 banger! I am really looking forward to not having to worry about having to drive my truck daily. It will make the whole project a lot less stressful.
