I'll get you a sound clip, just have to swap out line lock switches. Then I'll make you a proper sound track. Won't be be until mid-April though, sounds like winter is going to give it another try Sunday into Monday. I ran out of time last fall weather wise...

shortbed70 · 02-25-2012, 11:45 PM

Well I have a motor issue now for some reason!!!! No oil on the passenger side rockers!!! Time to pull the dizzy and buy a priming tool and hope that the lifters just bleed off. Don't know how it would be on one side only but who knows. How frustrating!!!!!

My worst nightmare. That sucks.

shortbed70 · 02-26-2012, 03:41 PM

Less than an hours run time on the motor with the new heads. Cam is old...

That's really odd.

daverod · 02-27-2012, 10:59 AM

Old cam new lifters? Hope it's not too bad. Last weekend I torn the end off the crank on my snowmachine ...if that helps.

shortbed70 · 02-27-2012, 04:51 PM

Old cam and old lifters. Been ran for years now after the head swap now the issue. Im so damn frustrated now that I am really loosing intrest on it! Maybe it will be something simple but I'm not real confident.

Ya my sled thing was simple. PTO in one hand engine in the other.

Maybe your thing will be better.

protrash64 · 02-27-2012, 10:08 PM

That sucks Troy....hope it's not too serious. When you go from pre-86 heads to Vortecs, do you use different pushrods or are they the same?

shortbed70 · 02-27-2012, 10:55 PM

Well guys I'm back on track!!! KISS factor...

Long story short; distributor pad is 1/8" taller than stock,old gasket stuck on distributor (I install new one without checking) and not completely tightening dizzy down.... BOOM got oil to all rockers on both sides... Back in business!!!!

How complicated is it to put in a windshield? I need to get mine in ASAP.

I've done all the windows except the windshield, but seen one done. Put gasket on glass, lay glass against opening with a rope in the channel, and pull rope into vehicle while pressing on glass from outside. You can lube with Windex. Cuss and repeat as neccessary!!

My windshield was easier than the back glass. I thought it would be the other way around.

Don't you have any of those "Will work for food" people around there. Your making me want to order a new rubber seal for my windshield.

shortbed70 · 03-01-2012, 09:25 PM

Well guys took it for its longest drive since its been togather about 2 miles and wow!!! What a blast. People were in awe as I passed them...

fryco · 03-01-2012, 11:34 PM

Good to hear you got it straightened out. Isn't it crazy how a little ride makes a few hundred hours of work seem less work like!!!!

What did you come up with for paint scream? I know know you were kicking around a few ideas...

We just got a foot of snow yesterday, taking mine out is a month or two away.

Well it's going to stay satin black for a while. Gonna drive it and get the kinks out of it then maybe paint next winter if I'm still employed! The drive was absolutely worth all the work and it takes something like that to really relight the flame to work on it..

McMurphy · 03-02-2012, 05:39 PM

I bet... nothing like a 5 minute ride to recharge you for 200 more hours of working eh?

Congrats on the drive!!
I am still a few months from that on mine.

shortbed70 · 03-03-2012, 01:44 AM

man this thing is unreal. It sat outside for a few hours tonight in about 45 degree weather and it fired right up no pumping the gas or anything..Fire lit and ready to rock...Hopefully I'll have time to get this bed done in the next few weeks. I have to finish up this bike I'm painting first though...

fryco · 03-06-2012, 08:47 PM

Yours has mine beat, at 45degrees mine won't start. Pump and crank all you want. That big ass chokless carburter sounded good when I ordered it.

(methonal does help either). I have to prime it with gas when its cold. Saving almost $200 a fill-up is worth the extra little bite of messing around with methonal. I did manage to get the old beast up to 4 miles per gallon.

Pretty bad when your happy to get a hundred miles on a 32 gallon tank.

My friends are getting their circle track cars ready, hearing my buddies mod last weekend left me jones'n bad!!!!

Ohh well, within a month or so it will be going.

What do you do for a living that your worried about being laid off?
