Newbies (Finnish) -69 c10 project!!!

[kkari]

yeah! finally get truck running again! Its awesome!!! It seems that the all the tuning parts wich i bought where perfect. Truck runs and pulls very good, engine is producing power more than enough Now i must find some whitewall tires and start planning to build airbag suspension on it.
The ignition timing was pretty triggy first but then i got it. Initial timing is now about 10 deg. btdc and overall 30ish.
Carb was way too lean at idle and "half" gas but almost 1 turn both mixture screws make it run pretty good and i get full vacuum at idle.
Next week im gonna take it in the dyno for perfect adjustments!

Now im gonna go and drive it aaaallll day every where!!!!

Now i have purchaset some little things for my truck!!! Cant post pics i really dont know why the Manage window says that pic size shouldbe 642x0 or something anyway i ordered some bits my tranny, TCI shift point adjusment kit (326500) and the valve improvent kit (326200) because when making full throttle accerelation gearbox changes wayyyyy too early its drops under reall pull rpm!

Hey! Haven't seen you around in awhile. Looks like you are getting a lot done on your truck. If I understand correctly winter comes early in your part of the world. Do you have a heated garage so you can continue working on your truck during the winter? It gets real cold there in Finland doesn't it?

[kkari]

Yeah our summer here in Finland is pretty short, about 3 months really then its gonna be autumn and then the beloved winter which lasts about 6 months and can be very cold like minus -38 celsius

i do have garage (rental) and now im gonna build a new one 110m2 downstares and about 60m2 upstairs. I just get my new loghouse ready so now is right time build my own little workshop with all goodies

Hey ItsRandy i check the Grand Terrace California from internet and the place look awesome! Really nice scenery! Totally different than over here. My home town name is Muhos its really countryside, no hills, mountains etc. just one big river. before i live in one of the biggest cities in northern Finland place named Oulu.

hey! Winter is coming and only one job site is left.....South Africa.......when thats done then im gonna build a new engine for my bab...eh truck! Here is my plan for the engine: Scat forged crank 3.48 stroke
Scat H-beam rods 6"
Dart heads pro1 or SHP
Srp pistons (budget) (10.3 comp)
New cam from compcams not sure the profile yet!
ARP studs all the way every place
and maybe new little bigger carb!

Im not gonna bag the truck its gonna be like prostreet look style machine! Already ordered some wheels 16x7 front and 15x10 rear. Front tires 235/70r16 and rear 29x15 or 30x12 inch M/T sportsman radials. Not sure those 15" wide on 10" wheels.....

Can anyone told me some good advise for the LSD? My diff ratio is 3.07 maybe that has to change too because bigger rear tire???
