If I can't figure it out in the next little while I will. I don't know why the po would hook it up the way it is. I just want it back the way it was. There's probably the end of the red wire under there somewhere. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow.

I'm liking the wire kit. I thought they were more like $400.

I almost got it correct.

ruffrida2005 · 08-04-2009, 01:43 PM

I've heard a lot of people say they like the EZ harness. I have a painless made for our trucks and it was $400 something, but a good product.

jgh64pkup · 08-04-2009, 03:19 PM

i like it

daverod · 08-04-2009, 09:42 PM

I was working on my engine (350) Went to put the fuel pump on and got confussed? Does this thing look like a fuel push rod. It's flat on on end and kinda round on the other. It has little ridges on the sides. It fits in the hole and seems to be the right lenght. The reason I'm worried is because it looks just like some old broken darts I use to have.

I looked at pictures on the net and I haven't seen any that look like this one.

Just don't want to stick a dart in my new engine.

protrash64 · 08-04-2009, 10:02 PM

Pic isnt very clear, but if it is correct the flat end would be against the cam. Try sliding it in the engine...they usually fall right out without a gob of grease to hole them in place. See if it looks right.

jgh64pkup · 08-04-2009, 10:08 PM

thats a pushrod for a brake booster it goes in between the booster and the master cylinder
first pic is a brake booster push rod
second is a fuel pump push rod

Sorry my camera sucks.

ruffrida2005 · 08-06-2009, 08:27 PM

check to make sure that your dist is tight, I could have moved when you rev it.

Strodder · 08-06-2009, 08:34 PM

The distributor has a centrifugal mechanical advance that will work without the vacuum hose on. That's normal. With the hose on you can check total advance. If I remember right it should be about 32 degrees. To check total advance you have to have a timing light with an advance dial on it.

ruffrida2005 · 08-06-2009, 08:41 PM

yeah good point Strodder, I was going to say the same thing. Man I got a lot more to learn.

I'm still not ready to teach.

daverod · 08-06-2009, 10:32 PM

Thanks guys. I was worried that it was'nt working but after messing with it I could see it move. I think I just set my timing to high. In a 73-86 ? book I saw that the timing was 4 degrees for a 292 thought I would try it. Back to 0 runs great. Still messing with my air screw though. When I screw it in it kills the engine but when I screw it out it doesn't seem to make a difference how far it won't make the engine studder. I just srewed it in untill I could tell a difference then backed it out a 1/4 turn. Tried hooking my vac gage to the hose going to the dist. but it would read anything untill I reved the engine up. Wish my notch would get here.

watahyahknow · 08-08-2009, 04:06 AM

this was fun to read you guys crack me up .
back on rust preventing : an old mecanic i knew used old motoroil in hollow spaces he drilled a small hole in the top poured the oil in let it sit a while and drilled a new hole in the bottom draining it ,
gets in all the nooks and crannies and with the hotter weather and dust it prolly dries up intoo sumtin like tar ....... wouldnt want to weld on any of his cars though

Thanks Watahyaknow. I'm always amazed by where people on this site are from.

watahyahknow · 08-08-2009, 09:39 AM

the internet doesnt have boundries (whell allmost) when it comes to american cars and pickup trucks theres hardly a better place to go then to american forum's

daverod · 08-09-2009, 12:49 PM

Took the tail gate from my 66 and fixed it up go enough to work on my 64. It was'nt good enough for the 66. I'm going to buy a new one for that truck. But for my driver it will work good. I should have taking some pics when I was working on it. I pulled out what I could but it had a couple spots that looked like someone hit them with a golf ball. I cut those spots out hammered them flat and welded them back in. I think it turned out good. I did'nt want it to look new. I went real light on the paint and hit it with a little rust color after. I might color sand it until some of the primer start to show. Tightened up the chain fittings now it makes no noise.

I might see if I can fix the old tail gate it was wacked. It might be good practice.
