Re: What did you do to your truck today!
well today i just drove it around,and went to the coffee shop for a cup and meet with the other old farts around town, but for the last two days i cleaned up the exhaust manifold that i took off the lake pump 292 and took the intake and exhaust manifold off ole dollor and cleaned and scraped off a mess of old gasket and rust, my old manifold was worse that i thought. got her back together late last night and boy does it run and sound better, had to do some work on the new (used) exhaust manifold to make the heat riser work properly.
i even have some pic's of the process.the screws were used because i can't use a welder but i think it will work o k... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
nate i think you are talking about the choke pull off , its a temp control coil spring that pulls the choke open when it warms up. i had to use my old one, but if i had another one it would be yours....the lake pump 292 did not have one, when i got ole dollor mine was bad , so i ordered a new coil spring, and overhauled mine, i think the one i found was for a v-8...but i was able to make it work..not to sure where to find one unless a pick and pull has one...

Technically that's the choke pull on , the pull off is a vacuum break , I have that .
I hope CMH77 finds one as P-A-P hasn't for many years around here .

Also polishing all the aluminum and copper parts. sand blasted all of the rusted parts for repaint.Have many pics but cameras in the garage will post sat .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
First, my Happy New Year present to those that are into my kind of music:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/vi...pelin-20121227 Today, it was a little ride down town, ordering an anti-snow item. And I think I've decided to move my 1" spacers to the front and pick up some 1.5 inchers for the rear (only, mine will be five lug) with my Christmas E-Slay stocking stuffer gift cards!!!!
