Thanks, it's not bad for a quick rattle can job. It will buy me some time.


I forgot my camera today, believe it or not. I had to use my phone. Shannon and I made it to the car show. There were about 100 participants. County Line Baptist put the show on and did a very nice job. It was very well organized. I got a top 35 trophy. I'm happy with the award, but someone right behind me in about a 2005 Nissan Titan won also. It was nothing special. Their classes weren't the best. I don't know where I ranked in the 35 since they went numericaly by car numbers. I need to be thankful and not criticise the classes. Some people went away with nothing.

Thanks!

They parked us as we came in and that's the way we ended up. Somebody has to help the fords on looks.

Thanks! It is disheartening to be classified with store bought trucks.

I got an original bumper to fit, but this repop doesn't. It mainly has to do with the right rail where it was hit. A little work at the bolt should go right in.

The upper radiator hose tbe is powder coated and installed. Just need a couple more clamps. Shannon ordered me a billet radiator cap and tested it to make sure it fit.

If you notice next to the water neck is the temp sensor for the fan relay. I have to pick up ignition power. I really don't want to run a wire to the switch. I thought about tapping into the alt. if possible of the distributor ign feed. I could also come off of the choke. I can't fit another wire into the tubes along the valve covers. Ideas??

Thanks, it's close to being done. Still have some things to do. Took a break from it. I started planning the AC and have a list of stuff to do to call it complete.

My wife and daughters put together a story book for me to have at shows. Thanks y'all very much.

You should do a Scrap Book on the build.

It's pretty much a scrap book. It's a timeline of pics from start to finish. The book is still a work in progress just like the truck.

Thanks Heath.

A coworker had a 600 eldebrock that ran really good on a 350. I figured what the heck lets see what it does on mine. It might have been a little better as far as low end power, but not enough to matter. So, i will put the 750 back on and adjust on it. I'll recheck the timing and advance even tho I have checked it a dozen times.

This engine should just blow the tires off the truck. Very embarassing.

Specs: 383, TCI 350 with a 2400 stall, 3.42 posi.

Base timing 16*, mechanical 33* and vac adv all in at 2400 rpm and 52* total advance.
