Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
that ride height sensor is cool. Be interested in seeing how that pans out.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks 99 and Jim!
I will keep you posted on how it works out. The system won't provide automatic levelling, though it will give you a voltage display that will correlate to ride height. I think it will be way less expensive than the automatic systems. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Hello;
99,jim n oldman; This ride thing is over my head.  It sounds good.  I can't even get a gas gauge n sending unit wired in to work. The gauge n sending unit is out of the 78 chevy PU with the printed circert board. T-P Auto Tim

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
99, I think it will be, and I haven't found anything similar on the market so we get to make one...I hope.
Thanks Tim. Can you find a manual for the 78? It should help provide diagnostic steps for the fuel gauge. Looks like one wire goes from the connector on the cluster to the fuel sender in the tank. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I would be interested in the digital ride height sensor system. Is he thinking of making a few once it's working?

Looks like you have plenty on the go, the Burb will be a fun ride when done. the coupe is real sweet too, I just purchased a 51 belair hardtop from Idaho a few weeks back. Like I need another project. Keep up the hard work. Coop

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks Hart_Rod. Friend is really talented on this. I emailed him my concept and 10 minutes later he emailed me a parts list with links on where to get the parts. Then he wanted to do the proof of concept and testing. He is really enjoying his new retirement time.
Thanks for checking in Coop. The 35 went to a new owner so I can stay focused on the Burb. A long way to go. Enjoy your BelAir! Guys, wife is going in for major surgery in Cleveland OH on Monday. Really appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers that it goes well. |

Praise the Lord the surgery did take place yesterday and Cindy did well through the 8 hour procedure. We went from no hope to hope. Now for recovery and healing. Then I will turn this back into a Suburban build. Apologies for my diversion guys. This has been hard. She is the center of my universe. |

Street Rodder posted this a couple of days back and I thought of you. Wanted to wait for good news until I shared and you gave us that .
Feel free to laugh with your wife as she recovers. http://www.hotrod.com/features/1506-...-the-hospital/ Godspeed. |

Good luck with the surgery. Cleveland has a really good heart and burn center.
