changing fenders is a pain.
these are pixs from yesterday.
someone put mesh on the cowl.




donation fender from my GMC parts truck






the original chrome bumper has lost alot of its chrome so i experminted with the chrome bumper from the 68 GMC. the brackets didnt line up. i'll be removing it as soon as i paint the original bumper white to match the truck.

[67chevy1series]

that bumper wraps around the fenders to much i wouldn tuse that bumpe ron a chevy.... nice work! you should paint the black lines on all the trim red to match that would be cool

so i rebuilt my carb the other night. edelbrock 1406.
now im trying to install. heres some pixs

is the thick gasket on it the adapter?
what is the yellow circled part for and the green part? yellow part seems taped off.



this is the gasket that came with my kit.

will i need a new adapter? whats a good place to install the wire to the electric choke.

[heeroyue2002]

[67chevy1series]

yellow is a vacuum port for power brakes, Plug it, And use the one on your base plate
Green is an old coil steel choke control, Remove it.

Use the gasket, And throw that old one away

Hook the neg(-) side of the choke, Directly to the carb,
And the pos(+) side, Can be hooked to any 12VDC source(examples, oil
psi sending unit, water temp sending unit, Fuse panel)

Oh. So is that grey gasket the correct one? Do i need some sort of adapter to bolt carb down or it ok?

Yes, I believe it is correct. And no, You don't need an adapter.
That carb was made for that intake.

lets hope for it! that will be cool to not have to drive it around your yard haha

[heeroyue2002]

i did drive it around town before but only because the local cops wont tell me anything and because if it stopped i could run home and get the van to push it home.
