Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Making some more progress. Got the offset dowel pins in and the got the final runout ran and all set for the tremec. Then got the new clutch installed.
Also this past week got all the stuff being moved over from the 350 to the 327. Just a little more cleanup in the engine bay and this motor will be ready to drop back in to the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the 327 back into the truck today. Now to start getting the tremec fitted and everything back onto the motor. Another week or two and it should be running again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Today I finally fixed that broken button in the door handle. Happy I finally got that fixed! Also started applying boiled linseed oil to the body, much easier than clear spray paint. Then messed with the EVR because it keeps buzzing and making so much noise. I need to chase down that diode in the brown wire to make sure it’s good. But also, I have HEI distributor and need to make sure I wired it correctly. Pretty sure I did but that was 7 years ago. If I can’t figure that out I’ll have to upgrade my alternator. Why does something always break when you fix something else non related?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the plug wires swapped. Pre SBC, I'd have thought this would be a 20-45m job, but routing under the ram's horns and over the starter and scraping off road filth at the same time and pulling one of the heat shields, and.......

Got my old girl Detailed. Just like the wife going to the beauty shop. Back in the garage covered. Waiting for a sunny day with a purpose or the last show of the season.
