umm what r yall talking about

ruffrida2005 · 12-16-2009, 10:40 PM

were talking about man stuff Gage. You'll understand later in years.

jgh64pkup · 12-16-2009, 10:53 PM

hahahahaha
im joking
but im sure you knew that

daverod · 12-17-2009, 11:04 PM

Swapped out my 64 dash with light for a 66 dash with guages and a tech. Can't seem to figure out how to hook up the alt gage and the oil pressure guage. My old gage had one wire for the gen. and one wire for the oil. My new oil gage needs a mech hook up. I don't know where to hook up the alternator. I used the wiring harness off the 66 for the gages but the engine harness is still for a 64. Oh ya then when I was switching the temp. sensor from a two wire light sensor to a one wire gage sensor I broke the part holding the sensor. It screwed in to far and hit the thermosta.

No idea where to get that part. or even what it is. The picture sucks. sorry. I'm wondering if I can't just adapt a oil sensor from a 283. Would it just screw into where the oil sensor for the oil light was. It's not long enough and the threads are wrong size?

protrash64 · 12-17-2009, 11:19 PM

Dave, I think the oil is pressure and water is temp....not interchangable. That pic looks like a mechanical temp gauge...once broken they are done but can be replaced. It happened on an Autometer gauge I had.

The dash gauge pac also has an amp gauge, not a volt gauge. To hook it up is complicated. It is patched in the positive flow between the battery and alternator after the entire load of accessories(dash, lights,radio,etc.) I asked in the electrical section a while back and someone gave me a cool diagram....I never hooked mine up!!

good luck

My oil gage I want to hook up is mech. The oil sensor part on the engine is electic. I can't find a mech sensor all I have is one off a 283. All the oil sensors I've seen say they are for gages but they have an electic hook up?

198plus · 12-18-2009, 12:42 AM

If your using a mechanical oil gauge you don't need a sensor. This would probably work for you.

Dave I just want you to know I just waisted my 1000th post on you. I dont know what to tell you about the oil. My 64 had the Mech dash, Not sure if he switched it out since he put a 350 in it. And I have a painless harness so I'm not help now.

Damn I'm screwed.

I found the drawing Trash thanks

watahyahknow · 12-18-2009, 12:32 AM

you might be able to change the guts of the mechanical oil to an electric one in the dash itself there usually just held in the fasia with two screws
you just need to find an electric one that has about the same sweep and works on the electric sensor

ruffrida2005 · 12-19-2009, 12:23 PM

it's really easy, you just have to heat the peice up before you can weld it. then you have to heat it a little as it cools so it wont crack the cast.

watahyahknow · 12-19-2009, 12:51 PM

it is possible to weld cast iron but it aint eazy
i saw sumtin new a while back it was some vibrating plate you could mount the piece of cast iron to to be welded on
the vibrations while welding took out the heatstresses while welding
after welding you needed to dunk the piece under in some heated sand to let it cool evenly .

ruffrida2005 · 12-19-2009, 01:12 PM

having heard about the vibrating plate, but sounds cool

jgh64pkup · 12-31-2009, 12:36 AM

oh no please dont tell me you bought flowtechs

daverod · 12-31-2009, 12:40 AM

Price was right. If they get messed up I'll just buy some more.

Bet they last 5 years. Thats about $20 a year.

Ya I know they will last till spring.

Hopefully I can quit tearing it apart and get it running again when the roads dry up.

daverod · 12-31-2009, 01:41 PM

Anybody need a one barrel carb? Just rebuilt it. Works good. ? Just a stock one. What do you think is a fair price? Also have a 750 truck avenger.

Not sitting on the floor no more. You made me feel guilty.

Just checking the fit

jgh64pkup · 12-31-2009, 12:51 AM

i didnt think of it that way but what if they last 6 months then theyre 200 dollars a year

spr85gmc · 12-31-2009, 01:01 AM

i have flowtechs they were cheap and have lasted me 3 yrs so far the finish is gone but they still work fine IMO... truck looks great keep up the great work

I did'nt see a big difference between them and the hedman ones. Well, about $75 difference. If they last 5 years I'll be more then happy.

**Captainfab** · 12-31-2009, 01:16 AM

Something you can do to help them last is remove that crap factory paint (sandblast is best) and paint them with some good high temp paint....a couple of good coats. I use "Stove Bright" brand paint on mine. You should have some wood/pellet stove stores down there, they should have it.....it comes in colors besides black too. Seems like Lowes of HD carries it too.

I thought I had some better pics of the 292 power steering pump mount that I did, but this is all I've got. I guess this one is better than nothing?

Dave, my neck hurts from looking side ways.

Truck is lookin good
