Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Ok guys we got a lot done today....Installed a new Aluminum Holley Intake Manifold, Tuned the carb, and got the engine in time. She runs like a champ! We also took the Bed off the truck so I can work on the cab corners and frame
Big thanks to everyone who came out to help especially Rus (Rusbuilt), Matt (cubber), and Thomas (slash36g)

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Sweet!!! sounds pretty awesome if you ask me, sounds like a productive week ahead, I don't know yet I might go a little wild today and put some new gauges in since I'm going to be partly taking my truck apart it shouldn't be too hard but we shall see.
As I said before take before and after videos of the exhaust always nice to here how much louder it gets, and also take pictures it's definitely a must.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Not a whole lot to report today but I did modify the dash cluster and install the tach in it. Then I mounted the new cd player in the metal bracket... Now the tach just needs to be wired in!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Since my fuel sending unit looked beyond rusty i decided to order a new one to install... Maybe that will fix how much the gauge acts funny at times
