Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Care to elaborate on the tv bracket on the quadrajet? I didnt think it would be easy, you make it look like its just a matter of drilling holes. That can save me the money I was gonna spend on a new carb.

What I did was set the 2 carbs on a level surface.I marked the center point of each throttle shaft. I put the bracket on the Edelbrock and used my speedsquare to find the angle (75*) and marked the bracket in relation to the center shaft. (It sits just forward of the shaft, made a horizontal line). I took the bracket off and moved it to the Quad and positioned it in the same location. Horizontal line pointing at the center of the throttle shaft and sitting at a 75* angle. This should keep the radius the same as an Edelbrock as the throttle swings its arc. I clamped it down and scribed the location on the Quad bracket. Drilled out a hole and used the throttle ball and a small 10-32 bolt to hold it to the Quad linkage. One could use 2 bolts and use the standard Quad throttle ball location with minor trimming of the TV adapter. I also had to pick up a TV cable bracket from TCI (TCI-376700) and a 1'' spacer for the carb(4-hole Quad from Mr. Gasket). I needed the spacer because of the stock manifold. I think with an aftermarket manifold one would be ok with the height. The TV bracket hit the #3 intake runner in my case. Basically a 100$ to hook up the trans. I also dont know if it will work yet, but I dont know why it wouldn't. I'll try to get some pics on here later.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Here's a pic of the linkage. You can see the line pointing at the center of the throttle shaft and the bolt below the throttle ball. My Quad now has an Edelbrock throw on it.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Fire in the hole
Started it up tonite!!! Fired off and scared the crap out of me with open headers. Have a couple small leaks to deal with but that comes with the territory. Also my neutral safety switch doesnt want to let the truck fire in PARK. The hard part is done; it runs.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Very cool to hear. You don't really need headers anyway. Now you need to go burn around the hood.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Thanx man!!!!! I'm excited as it's been 3 months of work. I had the pedal floored when it lit off cuz I thought it mite be flooded. Blew all my kitty litter out the back of the truck
Now I need to weld up my header extensions to meet up to the old exhaust system and then bleed the rear brakes. I already solved one leak and figured out my neutral safety switch.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Nothing huge to update, but I did finally get it out and cruise the 'hood a few times. Runs great, had to fill the trans with a case of fluid it seems and it started shifting correctly.
Found a pinhole in my upper radiator tank, so it's gonna get changed out for a new unit at some point. Also have my serp belt walking off my crank pulley...so I have an alignment issue. Pretty happy if thats all I have to deal with fixing.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I'm trying to get mine on the road for a car show on the 24th. If your interested in going, let me know (it's small, but there will be at least 3 60-66). It's a hike for you 35th ave and Happy Valley. If your interested, let me know and I'll email an entry form. It supports the local High School car club. I was thinking about hittin Dino up as well.

For the progress report, I welded up some pipe and installed my exhaust. I had to change out my fuel pump as the one I was using had too much pressure; my carb looked like a sprinkler!! Here are the only pics I took today. I did fire it up and it purrs nice and quietly. Welding exhaust under the truck sucks!!!

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Hope so; still working out some small details.

By the way, the Summit TV corrector is the cheapest route I found. I've seen it sell for up to 45 dollars elsewhere for the same 3'' piece of metal.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Thanks for the comments everybody. It was a tough job and a lot of little details to plow thru.....still need to get it on the road and see how it drives. It sounds awesome with a low, rumbly exhaust note. I'm wondering if the radiator will keep up with the cooling of the engine. It was idling fine today at steady temps.
Oh, the headers I finally went with were Hedman #68610. They are for Chevelle/Camaro fitments. They exit at nearly a perfect 45* angle and the only issue is the #1 tube hit the clamshell. It requires a little grinding on the top/rear to allow the tube to pass. Again, these work with the 73+ 1/2 ton mounts I used to get the engine in the frame.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics

Fixed an age old problem tonight; broken/missing hatch support on the upper clamshell. I met a couple guys a while back and both had 'burbs. One was a '63 and the other a '66. The '63 was traditional style in gold and the '66 was more streetrod style all in black. Both were very nice. Anyway, I learned from these guys that a 67-72 'burb hatch will fit the 60-66 if you mount it low. Sure as hell!!! Cruised the parts section on Monday and member 'teeitup' is parting a 'burb. Got the supports delivered today and installed them tonite. There is a little interference but nothing I cant live with. One must drill a lower hole and fasten the bottom with a nutsert or self tapper. I also picked up a missing tailgate latch mechanism cover from the same guys. Now on to the best part......the pics. Oh yeah, the original 60-66 hatch support was stamped 'ATWOOD' and underneath it said Rockford, Illinois. Up north from where I grew up. I also included a comparison pic to show how much they beefed up this part for 67-72. I think they knew it was a problem. I still need to put in the lower screw.....got lazy.
