Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan I hope it helps but in my fumbling around I bow to the masters and found a guy on the net who seems to fit that bill.. He states that 30 should always be power with a fuse of some kind, 85 always goes to ground, 86 to a switch of some kind, be it manual or automatic, 87 is the output to fans, lights and etc. 87a to power a second electrical device when 87 ie light or fan is off. wire to 30 and from 87 should be of the same size, 85 can be smaller since it is only a ground and usually short, and wire to 86 can be smaller as it is used only to trigger or turn on the relay. Clear as mud.. ???? I have more diagrams if you need and can post tomorrow or sunday if you need. actually I think that is today since it is after midnight.. Ha ha !!!
when I sent him an email years ago asking the same question about if it makes and difference which way to connect, he said that later on I would benfit if my wiring conformed to some standard and would ease stacing problems in the future. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Can't say chrome or paint cause it's been so long since seeing anything but bits and pieces of the truck. How about an updated pic of the full truck?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
They have that connector in the American Auto Wire kit. You are using that wiring aren't you?
I'm a chrome whore, so I say CHROME. Also it's practical as it won't get road chips. I would go with a chrome grill also to match the bumper. I was going to paint my grill, but now that I have a chrome one, I'm glad I made that choice.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I think that the chrome bumpers would enhance it much more than what the painted ones would. I think that it would bring more energy to the orange.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Just to chime in here...
I think if you trimmed in your front face like b2948kevin did in the attached pic, with your silver, and then chromed your grill and bumper, it would tie in with the rest of the paint scheme very nicely! Just an idea. The way you plan things out Alan, I am surprised you didnt do a color mock up first. pic from b2948kevin's Project 1966 Stepside LWB thread

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Thanks for the pic. At first thought I was going with the painted bumper, but after seeing the truck again I agree with the others that chrome bumpers would look great.

Allen the connector that you show in the post earlier is for an HEI distributor. I don't believe it is for the temp sensor.. I used a couple of thoes both a brown and a white one to hook up my HEI distributor. I would just change to a differant senor as there are several available at the NAPA store... MY O Rilley guy was willing to look throught the book and find one with spades connectors and the right size.. Be use to check for SAE ver MM. some of the newer intakes have MM size threads... Grrrrrrrrrrr.. You can also get them in almost any degree range you would prefer. I run a 190, with the 31 by 19 in alumium radiator it never gets any warmer then that. I had to put in a thermostate to get the engine to get above 165. Not a bad problem to have since the BB chevys are prone to running hot.. At least they used to in the 60's when I was driving my friends 60 corvette. Dropped in a BB in 68 and got our first ticket just 3 hours later.. what a blast. |

With me you never know what I might be working on next.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, don't do like I did and try to add a trinard switch that turns on an additional raditor fan automaticly when the air is tunrned on... LOL added a great bit of complexity to the project and as a result I'm had the air installed for two years and still haven't finished it. heater works but no air.. One day i'm going to finish it. the air it mean, the truck will never be done.
I like what you've done and I wish I had the time and money to complete it. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, just wanted to mention that when I was messing around looking for temp sensors was at a local raditor shop talking to him and he mentioned durning the conversation that sealing tape should never be used when installling the temp sensor, disrupts the ground connection. He said that pipe dope or something similar should be used and won't interferr with the ground of the sensor.. Just saying, hoping to save you a problem later on. when I was looking back at the install of the temp sensor it appears that you have sealing tape on the threads, If not I appolize for butting in..

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Oh yeah, I'm flip flopping on the bumpers. I like the chrome look, but don't like the rust that comes with chrome.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, a trinard switch does a couple of things.
1/ it will turn on an axillary fan to help keep the engine cool as the hot r134 going throught the condensor in front of the raditor restrics the cool air flow through the raditor especially when at idle or in traffic ie parade duty.. 2/ it turns off the ac when the pressure is either too high , think explosion, or too low in the ac system.. hints the name trinary switch. I don't know why but it had or has me befussled.. LOL it really is not that compilicated but the wiring has given me fits.. Some times I get to anal for my own good.. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
when I posted I see you are on line also.. Let there be light.. One of the biggest mistakes I made when wiring my truck was switching the ground and the low beam wires on the head lights... when I powered it up and was testing the 4way flashers the dash light flashed along with with every light on the truck.. Called EZ Wire after messing with it for 6 months and Steve knew just what I'd done.. I ask where was he 6 months ago and he said sitting there in his office waiting for me to call... Ha Ha LMAO

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I thought the high pressure switch shut the A/C down when the pressure got too high. Or is that called a trinary switch also?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Strodder, the way I understand it the binary or High pressure switch does just what you said it also shuts off the compressor when the pressure get to low. the trinary switch adds the capabality of also turning on a fan automaticly when the compressor is running.. clear as mud... LOL Hope that helps,,

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Trying 198plus rear bumper to see what it looks like on there. It's just tacked in place.
I also finished up the headlight harness.

I did make my upper radiator hose today. I went by the muffler shop and had them bend the pipe. It's just a little undersized. I'll see if they can expand it for me. Over all it turned out pretty nice.
