Re: Owen's C10
I like it! I read on IG you had to modify some stuff since it didn't work with your truck motor. What exactly did you have to change?

Re: Owen's C10
whenever I've swapped to an aftermarket intake the truck injectors never work because they're taller, and the plastic cups on the tips won't let the injector sit fully in the bosses so you gotta remove the caps, and then the stands that hold the fuel rails on are too tall so I had to shorten them and drill new holes...now you could spend $500- 600 and buy new car injectors and do it that way, but I don't know why the aftermarket can't make stuff more "truck friendly"?

Re: Owen's C10
Did you sand your top coat with 600?

Re: Owen's C10
Been a little under the weather this past few weeks, so I've been slowly tinkering away....got the posi and gears swapped in. and started on the American autowire classic update kit...what an awesome kit! I fabbed up a bracket to mount the fuse panel to and got most of the cab wired up.

Re: Owen's C10
Lookin' great man!
I'm finishing up with the exact same Classic Update kit in mine at the moment as well. Really is a fun kit to work with, pretty much bombproof. Only thing I haven't found included is a circuit for the electric choke - fused ignition circuit but not a big deal to work through. |
