The Blue Goose

[ripdog28]

When my brakes were sticking it was mainly after they were warm. I had to pull the Master Cylinder off the Diafram and adjust the push rod because once warm the fluid expands a little which caused it to push more then i liked.

[oldblue1968chevy]

doesnt pull when braking each wheel spins equally now, I still think it could get bette may bleed some more in the future or see if a brake place can 'flush' the system or something..

Ok, Will get pics up of everything in a bit..

Can I just take pictures of the calipers on the wheel? I may try to upload a video of me spinning the wheel so you guys can determine if its 'good enough' now or not..

Its ALOT better than it was (putting new Mc on and bleeding/flushing brakes)..

[oldblue1968chevy]

Oh sorry there ripdog, didnt see your post..
That may be a thought, its a TON better than it was but still not good as I would like?..

I didnt get around to pulling the tire off for a caliper pic, tomorow I guess

Hey hubscrub, if you see this, are you going to manchester sat? I need to know if you are so i can bring your present lol

Anyone know what the bracket goes to? I sold some long water pump brackets/pullys and the guy said that bracket went to something else and he didnt need it...whats it go to lol

[ERASER5]

Where did you buy the disc/drum MC? The bowls appear to be the same size, which is not normal. It could be right, but if you are having problems, you might want recheck the part number. Just a thought.

Manchester TN october 23 2010 hubscrub represented 6772 lineup,my truck was there, but I was at lynchburg for the BBQ lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

More cruise in pictures, there was more cars, but I had to go maybe hubscrub got some pictures too

[oldblue1968chevy]

and my truck at russel stovers getting ice cream on the way home from jack daniels

[oldblue1968chevy]

got antique tags yesterday...a wopping $30 somethign bucks!

We will see how this goes

Anyone have any comments on the cruise in pics?..lol

[swamp rat]

Ok, so i'm jelious of about 7 or 8 of the cars and trucks if ya really wanna know. )

And i think in Washington the cost of an antique plate is probably 3 times that much thanks to our mighty governor and her trusty ballpoint pin.

[oldblue1968chevy]

We'll see what happens (i took the risk) LOL

[Wideopenracing15]

Man, I havent checked your thread in awhile and now I'm sorry. You've made tons of progress! Your making me look bad lol Nice job!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ah not really man...your comming along too..I hope you have a shop its cooling down here (50-60* for a high, brrr) Worked on dads car all today, got it all done now its not pumping gas (electric 6 volt pump) hopefully its low battery...it makes noise but not pumping )

[bigguy69]

you got anything else done? i liked the pics!

[oldblue1968chevy]

No progress, went outside yesterday and there was water/antifreeze everywhere!

Leaking somehwere around the waterpump, I thought it looked cracked took it out and it wasnt..Maybe the old hose (I didnt replace) wasnt sealed up good, (even though I re tightened it and added more water and it still leaked)

Its gotten cool here! upper 40's for a high I think 55 today, we goin ridin wheelers!

Dads car...well Idk, its on the backburner, hopefully i'll get motivated this week!

[87 chevy silverado]

looking good

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ok good and bad news..

Leaking water somewhere on front of engine had antifreeze etc new pump idk truck is out for a day or 2

Good news:

Found a steal for a cab needs all new cab corners/rockers floor supports and cab corners a/b pillars (hopefully cowl/drip rail/windshield is solid, he says they. And he has title and its small back window 67! and he has front clip for the 67 and a fender or 2 and a hood for a 72!!! For the wopping price of $100 and he is less than 20 minutes away!!!!!!

I cant wait! I think I may have to become a subscriber in the comming months..Too many EXTRA parts Now just gota get that dang water leak fixed..

[Hubscrub]

ha i started mine for the first time in a week or two yesturday and the bottom hose was leaking so i took it and readjusted the clamp up higher and moved the hose some well see ....

[oldblue1968chevy]

Well, She must've fixed herself? I cant get it to leak a drop now?..lol We will see though tomorow..

I didnt realize how much power the ol 350 had. (Never really tried SLAMMING 1st-2nd). It threw me back in the seat pretty good , But when you hit 2nd it bogs down bad . Hey hub, What is your name anyway? Mine is John. Would you recommend a 700r4 to me? Was the swap hard, difficult tricky, would you do it again? And what did it cost (est.) Thinking about ditching the ol 3spd, yeah its cool but doesnt go fast and OD would be nice..

Thats all for now, I need to do a bunch of free misc. things that are free and just require time, And alot of things that cost $ that I cant do right now. I need to start hunting some 4wheelers to fix up and Im going to swing by advance auto this week, I turned in my application over the weekend they said to check back after that..(supposed to be hiring someone in the next week or so..)

WHat? my name is actully hubscrub ........................................no most people call me nate , i do like my 700r4 some seem to think that a 2004r is better because of the gears are closer the 700 has a lower first gear i think. the swap was not hard i made my crossmember but you can buy them i have not hooked up my lockup converter yet it would drop the rpms another 2-3 hundred more i would say. I would do it again the cost was around $1,100 but i did buy a fresh rebuilt trans from a local guy and that included a converter, dipstick, TV cable, the shield thingy and a 18 month warr. the other hundred was what i spent with the shifter cable stuff for my column you could do a hard link shifter if you just did some thinking i might still do that and the speedo gears (i have yet to do and buy) will cost alittle to get your speedo right and the lockup kit you get too. you would also have to get a radiator for a auto. i bought a 4 core for about 200, and a driveshaft would have to be made we just cut down a one piece and used it

[oldblue1968chevy]

LOL I read that for a sec (First sentence) And was like wuhhh...

Hmmm....

So ya think $1500 would be a good estimate? What kinda mpgs ya gettin, or have you calculated it?

Wheres the 'local guy' and is he 'pretty good' And did you have to buy a core?

Id still have to get a new rad. and column etc etc...Ugh, Maybe I'll stay 3spd awhile longer..
