Seems epoxy would be a more permanent solution for where the spot-weld seamed pieces meet vs relying on silicone/sealant solely. Always wondered about this area myself as it seems both front & rear of GM based oil pans are chronic leak prone.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Well she's back in the saddle again. Ran it for about 10 minutes. Still have to go get the exhaust hooked up.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Thanks Joe.
![]() Removed the rear end cover and letting it drain, maybe tomorrow I'll re-install it with "The Right Stuff" after I get it all clean.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
So after snugging the bolts for the 12 bolt cover I used an inch pound torque wrench and started at 25 inch pounds. Per this post I then went to 45 inch pounds and it seems almost too tight. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...51&postcount=2

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
So I took it over to get the exhaust re-done due to the new manifolds at a local shop and on the rack.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
I think it did, sounds just perfect for me. They really took theyre time on making sure it was run correctly. I'm happy with the work.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Beautiful truck!
It's a good morning when you can have your coffee and read through a few pages of a great build thread. Thanks you Sir, and good morning to you. Time to heat the shop... |

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
I changed the jets and metering rods in my Street Demon to a tighter tolerance recently to get better mileage and my plugs showed signs of too fuel. I went two sizes smaller (not good).
Boy did I go too tight for my engine, I could hardly get down the street. I then put the smaller metering rod back in and was able to drive it, but it wanted to go into passing gear too much (looking for more fuel) when I sped up, I mean way more than normal. Plugs are now dry though ![]() Now today I receive the next higher rods and jets, 2 main and 2 secondaries (and gaskets). Should be the ticket. Should have gone one size lower to begin with, live and learn I guess. And wouldn't you know it. Got the parts, they sent One Jet in a package that was supposed to have two in a pack. They are sending me out a new set today. ![]()

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
This is how to decide on the tune....trial and sometimes error...lol....
Every once in a while I make an adjustment or two...just to return back to my previous settings. It just to me confirms where you need to be....Good work |

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Yes, with a carb like this metering rods and jets are all you have after you adjust vacuum, timing, idle. Takes time but I think I'll be happier doing it the hard way.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
I think I finally got that carb nailed down. Kept the 78's Jets and put in the 60-52 rods and she doesn't kick down when I get on the road all the time. Only when I make it kick down. I have to wait a while to report my mileage as right now it seems embarrassingly high.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Thank you Paul, of course being my worst critic I questioned that for a while.
