Re: 49 ls1

Yup. I ditched the inline 2 psi residual pressure check valves, and went with a Speedway master cylinder with no internal check valves. Works great now. New trans went in on Thursday, just in time for All Truck Nats on Friday. Truck was a smashing success, and got it's share of attention all weekend!

OK,this is big news.Are you driving it?

I guess the only sad part about your truck being so low and awesome is that you will never be able to photograph that really low master cylinder and linkage setup

Re: 49 ls1

Thanks Low Elco... Good seeing you there as well.

CharlieSheen; not really driving it yet. Runs and drives, but needs some things before I'll start hitting the highway. I'll get under it next time I have it up in the air and take a pic or two. there are lots of pics on how I did the bracketry, early on in this thread though.

Rustytruck50; Thank you, I had a blast at the show, I love building things a "little different" than everyone else.

Re: 49 ls1

skymangs, sick truck, I'm working on a similar project and had a few questions for you.

Where and how did you place the TCC on your brake pedal assembly?

Did you mount the TAC with the ECM?

How do you like the Hot Rod Flatz paint? Easy to shoot? Easy to maintain?

Re: 49 ls1

Henny... The TCC goes to the output side of your brake light switch. Mine us on the firewall (original style)

My truck is cable throttle, but when I do drive by wires, I mount the TAC module behind the dash

My truck isn't hot rod Flatz, but I've used it before, and I like it. very reasonable cost, and not bad to spray either.

Re: 49 ls1

Got some updates on the 49... Finished up the wiring, installed a custom auto sound stereo, did a bunch of little stuff to get it roadworthy, and drove it to it's first car show 2 weeks ago.

Re: 49 ls1

I also added all green led dash lights and finished the end caps on the dash. Next week it goes to Ron's Auto Trim for door panels, carpet, and kick panels. Door panels are being finished in '55 Bel Air chrome, pattern, and arm rests.
