Re: "Rice Rocket'
if you flip back thru the pastbuilds up here theres one called "killer 71" that shows you how to put the gas fill behind the tail light. It looks like it turned out nice. If I remember right, a member by the name of 68short step did the work and when he did a thread on his stepside, he put his fill behind the rear parking light. That looked good too.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
ok finished my lines for behind the seat tank today and drove around was messing with timing etc richened the carb a lil too much and it died, i thought i was outta gas so i switched lines (almost dark out abuot 1/4 mile from my house) well I guess i ran batt down, timing was off etc etc etc
so dad had to jump me off and i had to tinker with carb. timing Anyone know anybody good with tuning a sbc (carb/dizzy weights etc) middle tn area, i need someone that knows what theyre doing to watch over me and guide me..cause im wingin it.. oh and on my first outing the lower pin for my brake linkage came out (no cotter pin i guess i forgot lol) anyhow my lil sis came to get me and got lost (like 1 mile from home) and i ened up driving with no brakes back (mind you these are on small gravel/paved roads) with little to no cars BACKROADS! New bushing i made from a bolt cut threads off and drilled a hole in the end ![]() pic of truck filthy dirty and gofyy

Re: "Rice Rocket'
One of the cardinal rules of tuning is to take your time and only change one thing at the time. If your carb is working halfway decent concentrate on getting your timing dialed in as close as you can get it and then move on to your carb. you wont have a standard timing spec because you have a custom combination in your engine ( cam, heads, etc) so the right timing spec for your motors gonna be a custom setting. about the best way to find it is to keep moving it about 2 degrees at the time till you see what the motor likes best. then adjust your carb screws with the vacuum guage and the last, adjust the idle

http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...erformer.shtml Boyds is the alumimum cell he has a thread going here.. I really wanted a stainless steel 25-27 gal suburban tank but the place listed it at around $900 (choke) ![]()

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Just open the link i posted and scroll down to the 1405 carb and look to the right and you'll see a black 1405 that is underlined. open that and it shows a pic of the carb with the choke cable attachment clamp

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Thank you to rustaddict!
Ok, got 600 on, running ok. It (dizy) wants more adv. when I give it more adv. and kill the motor, when i go to start it back it wont start, barely turns over. Im going to try a ground wire from body/motor/frame, see if that helps? Is this vac. adv. hose on the right port, 1 is for smog vehicles and the other without, if I understand correctly. I dont have a carcoal canister or smog anything ![]()
