Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey man where did you find your pieces to make the rod? I like the idea of the hidden wires for the hood too. I haven't put mine on yet because I don't know how to clean it up....

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I think I am going to tube my wiring like you did, but since this is going to be a hauler for my Temepest to Seattle area car shows there is a 100% chance of inclement weather... That is why I asked.
Am going to follow a lot of suggestions on this board for proper water drainage too. Will probably be another 10 years before I am ready to do a pristine frame off on my truck like you did.

![]() Got a few small things done. I hooked up the PCV, brake booster, and dizzy vac line. Trying to make it look neat. I'm not digging the wire ties right now. It may something to dress up in the future. It's been a while. If I have the PCV on the left I need a open breather on the other side correct?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan,, not being critical, but just wondering,, why did you leave the engine so far out in the engine bay. I guess I thought you were putting it up close and tight. Was there a reason or that is just where it ended up... ???
By the way your truck is looking great.. I have the same wheels on my 57. Looks real old style. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
You will need the open baffel for the long trips as there is always some pressure build up in the bottom of an engine and it needs somewhere to go. So as not to blow out the gaskets. I've seen it happen..

No progress today, just hung out with the family. I almost got the wire tubing for the temp sensor on the left valve cover remade last night.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan it is an inverted flare , depending on what lines you are using you may have to get an adapter .. the one on the valve fit the 3/16 inch lines I used that I bought at the local NAPA store off the rack.. If you are using larger brake lines (and there is no reason to) you will have to call Earl's as they carry all the fittings you would ever need. NOT cheap but available.
I see that you used a different temp sensor... I have more than one in the part box.. Untill I found the one that worked correctly. llol I ended up using a double bladed sensor as I was screwing it in the alumium intake and was worried about the ground... Nice job on the tube. Wish I had used the E carb.. these Hollies are so sensetive to set and keep set Hey I like your work bench.. where did you get the top.. looks like a woodshop table top from school...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I really like how clean it ends up looking with all the wiring being tubed like that.
Nice work !!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I second 57truckguy. I just plumbed my brakes on the '66 and that port on your prop valve fits a 3/16ths flare.

I'm still using the same temp sensor. I did remove the teflon and put some dope on it. I believe it was you that mentioned the teflon might affect the ground. I got the table top from my Dad, no clue where it came from. Quote:

Working on the interior door panels. Also got the muffler pipe for the upper water hose enlarged a little to fit the hose better. Got the TV cable bracket for the carb and the cable bracket for the cable itself which includes the return springs. The bracket is actually a throttle cable bracket, but I don't see any harm in using as a TV cable bracket. The cable is routed higher that normal, but there is no interferrance. Am I wrong? When I move the throttle, the rod actually moves away from the TV cable bracket. I also did a lot of reading on how to adjust the TV cable. If I read it right I held the throttle at WOT and pulled the TV cable out til it stops and tightened it down. TV 101 is a good read that I will read again. The last 2 pics are a before and after.
