Your probably talking about the aluminum spacer? Check with Teeitup ( Randy ) on the parts board, he'll have one for sure.

I saw that, I'm just not sure that's correct? If you notice it says 67-72. This part is unique only to the 67. I have that part off a 1970 parts cab. It's a total different application. If you look at the LMC catalog they don't even sell it. From my research this is a non-reproduced part and must be salvaged.

Looks like 67 was unique and used a one year only spacer.

Yep, '67 is a one year only ignition deal. The spacer is not reproduced. Better see if you can find one on the parts board, if not pay the subscribing fee and post a WTB ad and they will come out of the woods for around $20. Been there already myself

I'm going to check with this Randy guy first and if I don't get a bite I will do that Dan. Like I said, this thing is fighting me the whole way. I eliminated the pushbutton start for an easier install and now this?

[Orangetonicclicc]

Got the Red Top.

[Orangetonicclicc]

I had contemplated hiding the battery and my AC Hoses, but I want my truck to actually still look like a machine. A few hoses showing but neatly done will keep the authenticity alive in my build. I like the look of the battery showing!

[kxmotox247]

I've got a redtop to use also. What are you doing for your hold down?

Installed Steering today!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Next up! My shaft and coupling, power steering hoses and remote reservoir.

[Orangetonicclicc]

Install my shift linkage a back up switch on my tranny. Some adjustments still needed!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Time to stab the distributor and run my plug wires!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Got my spacer today for my ignition! Great fast service! I highly recommend Randy (Teeitup)

[Orangetonicclicc]

Glad I decided to go with the key ignition!

[Orangetonicclicc]

More parts headed to the powder coater

[Orangetonicclicc]

Tested my headlights and tailights today. Running lights work and my rear running lights work as well along with my dome light. But my license plate light is not working. I also tried to turn the ignition switch to see if my starter would turn, but it didn't engage. Little stumped by that. My Dakota Digital dash clock came on but that was it. Never got my connector for steering column, so I had to reorder it to wire my column. I really didn't want to get to crazy with the test until it's connected. All in all Im getting closer. But still have a ways to go

[Orangetonicclicc]

Now to find a descent reliable place for my ground for the headlights. Going to look at the assembly manual and connect it in the proper places. They are working along with my park lights in my bumper!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Once I get my steering column connection I can check my turn signals and brake lights. Plus I still need to finish the back up light switch install but I first have to extend those wires!

[Orangetonicclicc]

My wife and daughter thought it was so cool to see the lights on. Personally I was more concerned nothing happened when I turned the key except for the dash clock coming on, I at least thought I would get a click sound from the starter? Any suggestion guys? I have the purple wite connected to the (S) on the Starter solenoid. I don't have a neutral switch, so I'm thinking do I need to find those purple wires in the cab and jumper them together? I'm lost had to walk away again! lol!

[sduckworth13]

Nice work on the progress. Everything looks top notch.

Thanks Scott!

Still got a few bugs to work out. But we are chipping away on it piece by piece, little by little!

[kxmotox247]

Yes. Run a jumper wire between them.

Okay i have a painless kit. I really only saw one purple? But I was a little tired and needed to step away from it. I will look again tomorrow and see if I can figure it out. I'm a little confused. But I figured once I connected my column wires, it would shed some light on my predicament!
