Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
What wires did you end up going with so they didn't give you RF interference?

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
So as i mentioned earlier, i have the FiTech Power Adder EFI system that i tired some time ago and after a short run with it, i moved over to a full blown out LS motor (This is in my 1969 C10). But, after reading your posts and a few others, i think that i am going to go with the Holly 4150 EFI kit. Few reasons are customer service and working knowledge of the company, ease of use and maintenance, looks and well if i am going to do this i want to install a spot in the customer center console to store the little computer interface module so i can see the parameter of what is going on at any time. I only want to do this once, and the Fitech and Holly units are not the same. So, God willing my Harley sells this Friday (hate it but due to past back and neck issues, it must go) i will have the extra funds to just buy the unit. I have the EFI pump in the tank already, so..... Fuel regulator and off i go.... LOL

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
I forgot to ask...are you having RF or other issues with your FiTech?

I really like the Holley. It fires up every time without pumping the gas. The IAC is steady in the range it should be in 2-10%. I like the handheld on the Holley better too. I am thinking of making a holder for it that will fold under the dash and I can fold it down when I want to with a hinge or something or put it in an ashtray... I didn't trust the Fitech so I always have the handheld out, I am ready for the day I don't really need to look at it. I am getting close! I thought about putting a carb on the truck, but since I had run the fuel lines and had an in tank fuel pump, I just bit the bullet and went with the Holley...I am glad I did! Is your Fitech still under warranty? |

Thanks I really haven't had an issues with my fitech, but if I was to purchase again, I wouldn't buy fitech. They have let too many people down.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
I finally found a wire loom that would sort of work. I had to fabricate a bracket, but I used the main part of the loom. It is exactly how I wanted and no more burned plug wires!

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
OK so when are "done" with your truck you start doing things you wanted to do, but needed to get it running right first...so you install an original dash clock...and it works! Of course I forgot to set it after I installed it! DOH! The hardest part was drilling into the dash!
Thanks again to John for finding and sending me this gorgeous clock! I love it! |

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Do those center a/c vents just blow straight forward or can the direction be manipulated? It might be just the angle of that above pic but they look like they're fixed position.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Must be the angle...they rotate 360 degrees in all directions. Here is another pic.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Nice. It was just the angle of the image (along w/the fact they were flush w/the socket/housing @ the time).

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
We did our first car show today since the truck has been back on the road. Had a great time, met lots of new friends. Had about 170 cars/trucks there. Then this evening we took the truck to the local Chevy dealer and snapped a few photos....great day all the way around!

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Bought a new wheel for my spare tire...US Wheel Series 68. I think I can drill it and tap the holes and put my rally wheel center caps on this wheel. I think it is going to look good...15x8" so an inch wider than current wheels..and I bought a 1.5" beauty ring. I need to paint it gunmetal gray also.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
Shoot man I thought you had 15x8 rally wheels on the truck already. I have an odd number of 15" rallies off a 80's van I thought were 15x7 and they look narrow in comparison so figured yours had to be 8". I might have to measure mine and see if they are even skinnier.

Re: 1965 LWB Stepside Build
5 & 6-lugTruck Ralley wheels were available in 7 & 8" widths. Aftermarket has even more. Van Ralley wheels were 6.5" wide.
