And longer "starter" life, too.

Congrats. You'll be in my thoughts on 12/18 (also my oldest daughter's birthday...1967).
This year it'll be your B.D.

Depends on what your set-up/alternator type is.

On mine, using this internally regulated alternator, the one brown wire that comes off of the alternator plug runs into a connector that holds the blue and white wires,
which in turn connect to what would normally be the blue and white terminals voltage regulator.

As per M & H, the guys whose wiring set-up I have, on this alternator, the white wire that would otherwise connect to the single brown wire connector coming out of
the alternator is not "used" and, therefore, "deadheads", or does not connect in that connector.

Also, and because of this style alternator, of course you know that this set-up does not use use a voltage regulator....

Check this thread where a lot of our Forum pros helped me out:

Okay, then. All you need's the brown (alt plug) to the blue (at the connector...I think AA is the same as M & H) to the blue
terminal where the voltage regulator used to be.

If it's the same set-up as mine, it should work just right. Thanks to the guys on that thread and info from a call to M & H.

Bought some parts from tlcrz1972 (Brain) today.
nice full-foam seat with tracks
full "low" tranny hump
patch panels for both doors
both chrome wing vents.
Great prices and great conversation. It sure is nice having a addict like me local.

Thanks, its been a fun ride........and close to taking it for its first ride.

I installed my new glovebox liner. And worked on the RH side window, it would not roll down - it was all rusted up. And once it was all WD40'd up, I found out that the window regulator is worn out and now the window won't stay up when I shut the door or when I hit a bump while going down the road. Bummer!!

[elf w/capital T]

Welded inpatienly a couple weeks ago... warped the firewall a tiny bit, got. It fixed!!



Replaced the rusted piece above rear window, now waiting for (my new best friend) OSPHO to dry on the outside/inside inner/outer roof! The cold weather doesnt help!

And built an air compressor enclosure...finally!! Now I can work later in the day, and when neighbors are out!!

[HotRod C/10]

Be sure and vent it.....heat will kill it sooner

[elf w/capital T]

Good thinking! Pm sent!

Went from buckets "back" to bench. The "Boss" wanted to put in the bench seat we got (and have had stashed) since I started the build five years ago.

These buckets will probably be available free ('04 blazer...electric/leather
9.25 out of ten 10) for a Forum Member to pick up.

But I first have to ask my pal that gave them to me.

I made a fan shroud, for my Volvo fan upgrade....


Volvo '870', 2-speed fan...



$20 worth of steel...



Took a trip to my buddy's house, with the plasma cutter...
Because cutting holes without plasma just SUCKS..



Perfect... Only took about 10 minutes, 6 of which were spent making the jig.



Made a frame...



Tacked together...



Welded up...

Been married 41 years +.

Over the years, I've had the temptation of trying "new things". But I've always contained the responses to those urges to the inside
of the automotive realm.



Besides, she bought this seat, suggested we try the seat, and loves the way it looks. Last week, I did a "heavy-hand" and broke the
cheap-o center console. I searched for a new one....A hundred for this one, $159 for this one, $350 for another....

This morning, in order to dig out the Christmas decorations, I had to move the bench seat that I plasti-wrapped almost five years ago.

One thing lead to another.

Went to the Indy swap meet and picked up my '68 front fenders,2 core supports,door panels and trim,gas pedal,radio delete cowl panel and two '67 hub caps from Todd68chevy,and also bought a new pair of QA1 coil overs and some new 4link brackets for my build.

Boys,

Speaking as a person who *does* have **** for brains, I did not consider that a slam....






Also, I *do* dig my new seat. Sort'a "traditional"...sort'a.

Hey, everyone likes what they like right, if nobody likes my truck I don't care because I like it, I may not like yours but do say that I try to appreciate "all" builds, mine are way different than they were when I was a kid.
