Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started pulling the motor out of the truck today. Got the 4 speed out and got prepped to yank the motor tomorrow. Then onto detailing the engine bay again and getting the new 327 and 5 speed prepped.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the 350 out today and cleaned a few things up and now moving onto swapping stuff over to the 327 and doing some measurements for the new TKX 5 speed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Nice to see the progress on your '68 - beautiful truck. Small project for me yesterday. I swapped out my OEM-style starter to a Powermaster 9112 hoping to solve a heat soak issue. Wow - wish I would have gone with a high torque starter sooner. Keep the pics coming!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Its there because I un converted the truck from HEI back to points. The previous owner put HEI in and cut the original resistance wire out of the harness. So the resistor is there to be the replacement. Ive been looking locally for a old harness that someone ripped out to just get that wire to swap back in and remove the ballast but no luck so far.

I am finishing up an intake reseal, new radiator, new timing gear/chain set, and new alternator install. This photo was before I pulled the carb apart, gave it a run through the ultrasonic cleaner, and reinstalled. Now I have a fuel leak at the fuel pump that I guess monkeying around with the fuel line caused. This is the fun stuff right? Still need to repaint the oil filler cap as now it stands out with everything else cleaned up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
New rear shocks. OEM Spectrum, nothing fancy. For once, things went pretty much as expected ;-)
Spec is for 75#, but there is no way the existing ones were nearly that tight. :shrug: |

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
Making headway on more wiring.
Electric fans, Lokar kick down, MSD-6AL2, Vintage Air, and MSD HVC II coil all wired up. Sorry, no idea how to flip picture.
