Re: The Old Duffer
Here's a couple pictures of it all buttoned up before it went to exhaust today. Hopefully it'll be on the road early next week.

Re: The Old Duffer
K5-
Maybe i missed in while crusing through your thread--but what's the deal with your fuel injection setup?

Re: The Old Duffer
Hey Paintman, I'm using a 1961 Schlitz 15 & a half gallon keg. It's been fitted with a fuel sending unit that works with the stock gauge. The fuel pump is an electric one that comes with the F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup. It's controlled by the computer.

Re: The Old Duffer
Well It'd probably be running now but I'm waiting to take delivery of a new radiator as my old one is toast. So here's a couple more detailed under hood shots & new tail pipes. I'll post new exhaust pics once I get it back on the lift.

Re: The Old Duffer
Here's some exhaust shots. Had to run under the axle for now till I raise my bed a couple inches. (strangely when I upload these pics there getting turned around but you get the idea)

Re: The Old Duffer
Well had a setback today, Would been on the road tonight but my Pertronix distributor's cap took a **** on me & there is not a corresponding parts store cap that I can find anywhere. I'm dead in the water till Tuesday when I can get one delivered. Huge bummer! Was looking forward to burnin some petrol.

Re: The Old Duffer
Been awhile since I updated, It's been a frustrating couple weeks since the distributor cap mishap. Took awhile to get the new cap. Reinstalled & couldn't get the truck to fire at all & I've got a pro fuel injection tuner working on this. started checking everything Fuel pump, spark, computer I mean everything twice then got to checking to see if something bigger was wrong (internal engine issues) did a compression test & found 4 out of 6 cylinders had abnormally low PSI. We started wondering if the backfires caused by the cap problems hadn't caused some damage, Maybe blew a hole in a piston or something. so we pulled the head & found the head gasket blew between 2nd & 3rd & 4th & 5th cylinders. Ughh! sent the head to be checked for cracks or other issues & it's all good. Reinstalled everything truck fired right up. tuned & now touching up paint. It's running pretty good now. They say the computer will constantly be tuning & will run better all the time. Plan on driving it a bunch this weekend so I'll keep yall posted.

Re: The Old Duffer
Man I have so many questions in regards to your carb setup, but that's not important right now. The biggest question is where did all the gasket pieces go from the front cylinder? Hopefully out the exhaust!
