Hi guys! Well Crustine's 600 cfm eddy was really not taking the Oregon heat very well. Flat spots off idle, nasal leakage, loading up.....so I figured it was time for a little down grade. Purchased a 500 cfm eddy and a fuel regulator. Those carter pumps are just to much for these carbs. haha Anyhow, runs better now and no more flooding out. Set the regulator to 5.5 psi hot and it seems good. Need to jet down a bit more, but much better than before.

Always better when things run smoother.

Crustine has been an awesome daily driver since the 1st day.

She's always thirsty, but it's worth the fun, smiles, and conversations.

Shot of her warming up this morning and after a long over due bath.

Might be painting another set of valve covers so the engine has dual breathers and an old school pcv setup.

Looks good, glad to hear it.

Yup!

TJ's Chevy · 04-20-2018, 12:29 AM

With my new job now being 30 miles one way and 10 hour days Crustine is now an evening/weekend driver. After 2 years of daily driving it was WELL over due to change out the seat cover. One given to me as a gift served time in my 66 and then in this truck. Was torn up so bad it was embarrassing to have it On there. SO...today a very nicely made cover showed up that fits much better and in my opinion looks much better.

Looks good.

Well I got this tool box for Crustine a couple days back. Funny how well it matches. The bed is too wide for the box so I'll be making some mounting plates. I'll post some pics when that's all done but I'm stoked she's got a box now. No more cluttering up the cab with stuff now haha

**Palf70Step** · 08-29-2019, 11:03 AM

Very fitting for her!

**straight6chevyguy** · 09-03-2019, 12:57 PM

In the process of working on 1966 GMC Suburban.
Pretty original drive train/suspension, non-original engine.

Just purchased a 66’ 351E engine with 51K miles, not started In several years.

Do you know of good source for engine rebuild parts, for the GMC V6.

Your PM box is full.

TJ's Chevy · 03-21-2020, 02:54 AM

Tinkered on Crustine a bit thursday as the weather has been nice an warm. Always had to much fuel pressure from the carter pump so installed a new regulator and adjusted it down to 4.5 psi. She's due for vc gaskets and a good tune up so we'll git on that tomorrow hopefully.

Ta2Don · 04-19-2020, 05:33 PM

Lookin' Good TJ. Call me.
