67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9) - Page 272 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**67cheby** · 10-02-2012, 09:52 AM

Here some of the recent progress, plugged off the old lines from the fuel tank and added a vent , almost completely finished with fuel and return lines, all sensors are on the motor (their are several with the Dakota Digital ones and the EFI ones for the Painless harness) I have been fighting with getting the powersteering pump lined up right last night we got that done, Made and Ran the plug wires last night (still have to secure them and group them nicely) , put some trim on the doors, QUESTION on the mustang style rack and pinion does it matter which one is pressure and return ? the pressure and return lines fit on either one ?

Pressure and return lines definitely go to a certain port on the rack.
They aren't interchangeable.
The threaded fitting in my rack were even a different size.
Are you using AN fittings?

This is what I used,...
http://www.unisteer.com/search_by_pr..._fittings.html

Edit:
I see the fittings in your rack now.

**67cheby** · 10-02-2012, 12:02 PM

i text Nathan this morning he said it is the smaller side that is the pressure, he thinks the top ? I guess i will have to take my fittings back out (they are both the same) and see if one hole is smaller ?

**lolife99** · 10-02-2012, 12:07 PM

Unisteer link I listed says this:

Fitting kit for Mustang II Power Rack and Pinions. Fitting kit converts 5/8 and 9/16 ports on 74-78 and 79-93 Mustang Power Rack & Pinions. Kit comes with the following.

9/16" X 6AN Pressure fitting for lower port

5/8" X 6AN Return fitting for upper port

**67cheby** · 10-02-2012, 12:09 PM

in the second picture from the bottom you can see the fittings in my rack and they both have the same size openings ?

**67cheby** · 10-02-2012, 12:11 PM

Keith , thanks for the information !

back on the rearlights you might get the baddest of the glare in the center away by painting the tops of the bulbs themselves , irs a cheap enough mod to try if it doesnt work trow away the bulbs and start again

fastcam1 · 10-02-2012, 04:21 PM

Man the attention to detail on this build is insane if my truck was ever a tenth as nice as yours I would be happy lol

That would mean alot just to see this in person. You my sire are a n inspiration to all of us. Congrats.

WOW, man that is a big compliment ! Thank you

We are kinda unfortunate that way. It is also hard to get sponsored up here because of that, the work I do is top notch, but I will never see endorsements. So a big congratulations to all of you that have the means down there.

Thanks man !

Dakota Digital has been great to me, i had better stick with their lights ! and Fesler but i had the DD lights before i got the sponsorship from Fesler

Really looking forward to seeing you and you're outstanding truck this weekend.

LOL, well i will see you at least, sorry to dissapoint !

thanks man, we are trying !
how about a set of led to put back to fill in that lense..

The only way to get the light spread lower though would be to build light housings that are open top to bottom. We can see the shape of the OEM light housing in there with it lit up. If you could open the housing up to match the shape of the lense and then used 2 or 3 lower intensity lights it would spread the light out more evenly and be something only nuts like us would notice. Could be a new product line for somebody.
I agree that would work well !
Please send royalties to hgs_notes@yahoo.com via paypal. Thank you.

LOL...SLOSH LIGHTS??

good thing you have her build to start next

laid67 · 10-03-2012, 01:10 AM

i vote for going back to DD and seeing if they have an alternative to one bright light. does the light you have now still use the stock housing?

**CC69Rat** · 10-03-2012, 08:10 AM

Mike, it seems everything you do just takes it up one more notch. This truck is absolutely incredible brother. Great Job. You deserve every compliment as the attention to detail is top notch.
