No turning back now! Cut out the lower 2/3 of the original dash and began fitting the stretched Camaro Dash.

It was 70 degrees this morning and I was out on Colorado Blvd - the crowds were massing for the Rose Parade and every kind of old car you can think of was cruising thru Old Town so I decided to go home and get my '46 out and take it for a ride.

Started right up, I got out to move another car in the driveway and when I got back in it had died. Hmmm? I started it...and it died. Long story short? Fuel pump took a crap. I got it off quickly. No idea what model car my 350 originally came from so when the kid at Pep Boys parts counter asked me "Make, Model and Year?" I said, "I have no idea" And he reacted like a monkey doing a math problem! If he didn't have the info he was lost. I told him, "...check early 70's 350's..." He EVENTUALLY got with the idea and since there were no other local parts houses open today around here, it was Pep Boys or nothing.

I got a fuel pump alright but the fittings are different than what had been on it. Pep Boys didn't have what I needed; OSH didn't either; SCREW IT. I pushed it back down the driveway and I'll leave it for the weekend. Damn, I really wanted to cruise with the "other kids"!

If you go with a eldebrock you can always rotate the base to fit your needs..http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...mps_main.shtml

Believe me I walked around a bit questioning my sanity before I took the cutoff wheel to the original dash.

Since the original dash had been butchered by the previous owner in the radio area and in the glove box area I only felt a little hackers remorse.

I'd love to know the history of my truck.... the interior had been painted lime green at one point!

[ravens65]

well , its cold even in florida today but...I installed my interior vents and my horn . doesn't sound like much but I also dug thru the boxes on my shelf and found some missing parts tried to mock up my e-brake and its not gonna work had to remove the cross member that has the levers attached to it to install a different trans. cross member for the t-10 4spd. not sure what to do now .I have 5 mounts for eng. and trans. 2motor-2bellhousing - 1 trans.
what now????? guess I'll have to fab another part now, when will it stop?? Eric

[ruffrida2005]

if you want to, when your wife makes you leave the truck at my house, you can fab me up a 4 link and bring it with you.

Mines in tha garage and I'm watching it snow AGAIN so I will be doing nothing except shoveling snow tomarrow AGAIN....

[ruffrida2005]

I've seen snow like 30 minutes this whole year.

[willie 64]

I know how you feel shovingling snow sucks. it takes away garage time.

[ruffrida2005]
