Re: 75 Dually build

The hydro boost is now done! Ok I still have to bleed the brakes, but hey it's mostly done!! Yes the brake lines need the bends to be cleaned up, and all that wiring needs to be cleaned up as well. The underside of the engine bay really needs some attention.

I was so glad to have the OEM lines from Napa. They made this so much easier and cleaner. I also did the spark plugs on this side of the motor because the brake system was out of the way. Talk about a knuckle buster with all that stuff in the way... I will get the other side done tomorrow, we are now getting freezing rain and more snow on the way. Yeah!

Looks good!! Here is the one I did on my Pro-Street. Used a 99 model master cylinder and 99 model lines.

Re: 75 Dually build

I just cant get past all the lines from OE set-ups. That's why I swapped to a vacuum. There were a couple high end set-ups that really clean things up (HydraTech) but their about a G.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Are you bringing both to LST? I'm almost tempted to bring the new 68 on my trailer to LST.

Re: 75 Dually build

I registered the Pro-Street but Im pulling it down there with the new dually. I Sold my black one and bought my son his first car and bought me a replacement with the money. Its Not as good looking but its got potential.

Both the power steering and the pump are stock.

Re: 75 Dually build

Do you mind getting a pic when you can. I'm running a 454. Buy it has the remote reservoir for power steering and I haven't been able to find a new hose. And just wanna run the single unit pump/reservoir.

Re: 75 Dually build

Does your pump have the keyed shaft or the smooth one? I need a keyed one to mount my new pulleys, but I can't seem to figure out which years they came on...

In all truth I do not know. My pump is a new pump, but it has been so long since I installed it... However I checked the Oriley's website, they have great pictures, and it showed a smooth shaft. So I would have to assume that is what I have. If it were me I would go down to Autozone (or similar parts outlet) and just have them pull a couple of pumps and check them out that way.

Re: 75 Dually build

Made a pedestal for the eLevel touch pad last night, got it installed today after work. I will leave it unfinished for a while so I can concentrate on other portions of the interior.
