[VA72C10]

The one that's hooked up on the lower left is the correct one for the vacuum advance.

[oldblue1968chevy]

[Hubscrub]

does he have a way to put the reverse lense on it? that would be so slick

[oldblue1968chevy]

he had an idea but im still unsure...i'll keep yall posted

[oldblue1968chevy]

Getting ready to put new wheel cyc. on, any tips?

Where does this wire go? (heater area, 3 prong)

Misc other pics

[Hubscrub]

pic? the ones that come to mind is the heater blower resistor thing behind the glovebox and the hookup on the side of you heater controls

[oldblue1968chevy]

ok theres is the pic, i know 1 end goes to heater control levers, but theres another 3 prong plug, female end i think, wheres it go lol?

[matchstick]

I've still got this cab setting here waiting on you. It has a good throttle cable on it as well... you could kill 2 birds with one stone.

The plug goes to your fan speed resistor. Its mounted to your inside heater box, kinda hard to see.

Brakes, follow this! http://www.pbase.com/nufsed/drumbrake

[oldblue1968chevy]

ok phillip...it has the whole throttle asy? By chance could you meet me in cookeville with it? (only problem with that would be unloading it and reloading it) ive got my truck semi back on the road..

Umm k

Fixed my parking brake today! (was torn from T bone accident)

Got 1 side of my brakes done (new shoes/wheel cycl) didnt make it pretty in there, sorry No brake cleaner and I cant drive with no back wheels/tires LOL

Tinkered with other misc that wasnt important enough to list,also, Im ordering a new prop. valve with brakcet and lines, hopefully after this week/next few days, my brake issues will be resolved..

Think autozone will warranty my rotors/pads for the 2nd time for 'premature wearout'

[rustaddict]

Hey Man I havent been around for a couple days how's the goose running?

Everything is there from the pedal to where it attaches to the carb. I'm not crazy about meeting you with it, it's hard for me to find the time, and I don't want to load/unload etc.. I'm only 30 minutes from Cookeville.

[oldblue1968chevy]

I understand phillip, I may have to plan a trip up there to come get that thing..

Truck is running decent, I need a longer choke cable (factory cable is too short, about 4" to be exact)

Im going to do the other side (pas.) brakes and put my new lines on! Maybe go for a drive in the dark? Man, I hate you guys, I have to come in, get a snack read through all the updated posts in all the sections...etc etc

ok BYE NOW IM GOING TO GO TRY TO WORK!!! LOL
