Re: Project 30 years sitting
Thanks. Motor actually looks like a motor after today. 14hrs and it honestly doesnt look like I got much done. But 2 trips to junk yard, and 3 trips to parts store will kill time quick.

I think I have all 5 positions now. removed clutch peddle mounted fuel pressure regulator for elec tank installed new detent cable changed trans pan/fluid/filter installed dust shield for tq conv (it didnt have one) have the first few feet of exhaust routed. Cant figure out where I want to dump it. started on some body work testing my new stud-weld gun and slide hammer. |

Re: Project 30 years sitting
Nice work on the motor. While working on a project it seems you almost put as much time running around to different places for parts and shopping on the internet. Also the research eats a lot of time too.

Re: Project 30 years sitting
Havent been taking pics as there is really nothing to see IMO.
Agree on running around, research, etc. Big snag today, went to back it out to weld on it and it wouldnt stay running. Turned it around yesterday and did just fine??? Compression test showed 6? to have zero compression. Yet will somewhat hold air when doing a leak down test. WTF? Rockers are moving as well. |

Re: Project 30 years sitting
Here is a pic from last night after turning it around, before I went out for the evening. Still in same spot, but has gas tank bolted and partly hosed up, also has drivers mirror on it.

Re: Project 30 years sitting
No clue what the motors problem was, but it started today and ran fine. So while it was running we did a quick tune on the carb.
Power wire routed but not hooked up for the tank 06an fuel line routed but not hooked up for fuel supply. |

Re: Project 30 years sitting
You would think being a photographer, I would take out the good camera and be posting millions of pictures. But most of this is just cell phone shots
![]() I guess next time I'm under it I could get pics of all the sexy aluminum parts on the bottom side that will never be seen otherwise |

Re: Project 30 years sitting
Talked to previous owner today, he thinks he may have the original 205 transfer case that has a transmission tailshaft snapped off in the input. Hopefully I can get that off him

Re: Project 30 years sitting
Was under it measuring for mufflers, so I snapped this. Looks like tonight will be a wiring night to upgrade the size of wire for the HEI, and wire in the fuel pump.

Re: Project 30 years sitting
I have a dis-assembled 205 transfer case on my floor. YES. When I'm feeling better I will sort everything out to figure out what I need n have. Time to find a diagram.
:edit: Figured out is a dana 20, dangit. Last edited by Dale99; 12-12-2012 at 09:24 PM. |

Re: Project 30 years sitting
Productive day yesterday....
Frame horns fixed with parts from a board member I got a while back. Pass door hinges replaced from a board member I got a while back. rear shocks installed due to frame horns getting fixed, I could finally bolt down the front and install fenderwells with bolts I got from board member Brian A. This morning I ordered my tires ![]() plan to work on my exhaust more, rewire my fuel pump relay I fubar'd. Maybe get the grill installed. Depends on how many people come help. |
