Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got the last of the fuel line assembled yesterday for the big block. Will get the clutch set up tonight and maybe the pulleys if I get time tonight. Still need to reset the engine to top dead center on #1 and adjust vacuum advance placement on the distributor. With the water bypass system in place it limits the distributor play. Got the carb and return spring bracket mocked up yesterday also. (even though carb will have to come back off to install). Temp sending unit installed too.
I plan to plumb in a fuel pressure gauge on the out flow of the filter. Will be easy to plumb in with some unions. Finally got the process down to make the hoses without tearing up the anodized fittings while tightening them down.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got the fitting ordered this morning for the fuel pressure gauge. This will only add about 1.5" to the line length and I can plumb it in after the fuel filter. This will give me fuel pressure reading out of the filter. Russell 670340 -6an male/female with 1/8npt port for the guage.
Also picked up an engine stand from harbor freight today.....1000lb stand on sale from $89.99 marked down to 45.99. Got some new grade 8 bolts to go with it also. I've got a cherry picker, but have needed a rotating stand for awhile. I have an engine cradle that rolls that's great, but doesn't rotate.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Not sure if its the same on the big blocks but don't forget the short bolt behind the oil filter housing so you don't crack the oil filter housing when you mount it on the stand.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
About 60% done....was looking at it last night when the rain blew through, but was just too tired from the last few weeks of work with no days off. Out of town on the camping trip frri-sun, so maybe when I get back sunday night I can get back on it.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I hate that I can't go. But on the bright side this is the first weekend I'll be in town since February.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Couple pics of the engine with the chrome water pump pulley, fan, alternator and alternator brackets. Wil get the chrome crank pulley on tomorrow once I get the correct bolts. The balancer on this engine is coarse thread and the ARP bolt kit is fine. Easy swap. Working on the other valve cover so I can get those on this week also.
I want t do a little touch up paint on the heads, which I'll do prior to install of the headers. Still have some more to do. Need to pull the distributor and move the vacuum advance over a little so there is room for adjustment since the water bypass lines are in. I'll do this when I swap the valve covers so I can see if the valves are closed to get TDC and the timing tabbed lined up. Then it needs a good cleaning. Especially the intake. Few months in the shop and it needs a little TLC. Have the plug wires are done. Went with a nice set of Moros's. Got heat shields for the plug boots around the headers. Need to make an oil pressure gauge line and plumb it. Also need to make the vacuum lines and by intake bypass to water pump line and we should be in business.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thinking the fan might need some paint treatment to break up some of the front of the engine. Maybe I'll paint the hub the same color as the engine.

Thanks, and that may still change.....was a fan that I had prior to the engine It will definitely need a spacer at the very least.
