[cubber]

Maybe you can put it on as part of your training, you know, like that one Rocky movie where he went to Russia and was picking up logs and stuff??

[JRANGER]

haha..ok so ill slide under and start pressing it lol

[JRANGER]

ive decided that after the new year im gonna have to get some of these
Black With red inserts from http://73-87chevytrucks.com

This is what they actually look like installed

[thelonerife]

I really like that. Do they make them for 67-72?

[JRANGER]

not exactly like this but they do make custom panels for your models too

[cubber]

I like those. Between that, new wheels, and all the other stuff you've done, that thing ain't gonna be no trash hauler, lol.

[Nightster09]

WOW those door panels are really cool. Wish i would have seen those before i redid mine stock looking.

[JRANGER]

Yeah, I painted mine and thought they would work but they are chipping already and busting through a bit so im gonna have to get new ones regardless...So thats what I want to do....Need my truck to be one of a kind heh

[JRANGER]

So i seemed to get most of the exahust leaks out but not sure until it cools back down.....

Installed the tips the lazy way...As I just put then over the existing pipe and pulled them out maybe a 1/4 inch....LOL Welded them on and bam!

[Rusbuilt]

That will do friend, that will do!

[cubber]

Lazy or not, they look good!

[JRANGER]

Fashioned together a wiring harness for my tach this morning

[JRANGER]

Well Tested out an the power and ground to the tach...Just need to go get the Distributor Wiring from the store and then it shall work!!


Looks good though

[chevybuilder18]

looking good jeff. i like your panel idea. will you update the rest of the dash also? i was also curious. what the heck you skipped out on the bumper? lol

[cubber]

That looks like it fit PERFECTLY!

[JRANGER]

Well got the tach all hooked up.....She fires up at 1600RPM when cold....Once she calms down idles about 1050RPPM...Is that high for my engine? Turned the idle screw a bit but it wouldnt go lower

Also the Radiator hose wasnt extremely tight on the block so it squirted out a bit on the block and valve covers...BOOO! Lol

[cubber]

Seems a bit high, but not too bad. Does it sound like its idling high? It also might idle slightly higher till it warms up, then will drop to like 8-900. I don't know though. The rest of your guages look like everything's good. I think idle is a little bit a matter of opinion, as far as how low to go.

[JRANGER]

New CD Player means more adjusting....Had to trim the bezel some more and then trim the CD player ring to get it to fit better with out trimming the red border on the bezel

[JRANGER]

I heard its suppose idle around 700 but i dont know for sure on an 82 305....It was warm when idling warm....It idles much higher when cold almost 2000RPM

[cubber]

Hmmm. I remember it was idling high when we were up there, but then after your test drive it sounded pretty good. Does it sound high now? I've always adjusted idle by hearing, so Idk much about the range. You might just need to drive it awhile and see if it settles down.

[JRANGER]

Yeah it sounds fine to me except when cold...Then it sounds high and i have to let it warm up and rev it a few times to get it to idle down.....Im clueless haha

[cubber]

They are supposed to idle high for a few mins. Idk about 2000, though.

LOL im wondering if my choke needs to be turned back a little gotta look at it...Rus was talking about checking something but i forgot what he said...lol

[Rusbuilt]

Haha you're too young to be having memory problems, you better be using head gear practicing for your fight! lol

I'll help you with it when I get back. I think your idle is normal, it could be a fuzz high.
