Daverods project 66

[daverod]

I think your right. When I stand on he front it hits the ground. Time for some front bags. Took another look at my sway bar. I think it will work. I just have to get it up high enough to drill some holes. No, I don't have a fancy lift, yet. After those u bolt holes I'm sick of drilling.

[protrash64]

I had to drill those on my p/u and do it from underneath. I know what your saying!! I was very glad when they finally fit in place.

man I have been taking my pain pills, I'm on some good stuff. I was trippin about the notch. You notch the crossmember for lift. You may or may not have a problem with it. put a motor in it and watch it lay out.

How much play is in the new chinese distributor shaft? how much does the timing change at total advance? at rpm?
Bummer about the carb troubles, I Hate walking!!

[protrash64]

If you get it too far advanced it will start heating up the exhaust. I did that on a 350 a long time ago and it melted all the plug wires; realized I had full advance all the time.

Nice to know

I hate walking too. Thats why I have a horse. He never breaks down. My timing gun is'nt very good so I can tell how much it advances. Right now I have it set at the last notch on the scale, runs good. Is snowed today so I did'nt get to take it out. I wanted to see what the changing the vac to full vac did. I bet its better.

Beat out this nasty dent in my bedside. A few months ago I would have told you it could'nt be done. I just beat on it a little every day. Almost done. How much room do I need for front bags? Do I have to mod. my stock arms or will they fit in there. I've seen people mod. them just want to make sure I have too. Broke down and ordered a new fuel tank sender. Almost bought another 66. Guy wanted 400 it was a rust bucket had good sides though. Wanted to make a speedcult rat truck out of it. Still might buy it. I'd have to hide it from the old lady though. Pretty sure I have to do somthing like the lastr two pictures to get my air bags in there. I just need to know how deep to make the pockets?

Room for your bags depends on the type. I'm assuming you mean diameter. I used the Slam bags re7 + re8 because they do not expand as they collapse. My front bags sit on a cup that I removed 3/8's of an inch. I would assume again that they would have to be modded somehow to allow for the diameter of the bag.

all the pics werent on yet!!!!

Guess I'll get my bags then mod.

[ruffrida2005]

Lots of people running the dom 2600 and the slam RE7's say they can get away with a 8" cup.

[daverod]

Think I should get the kit or just the bags? I'm getting the stuff from SD.

[daverod]

I'm liking this inner fender ides. I don't know what your going to do about running 48" Paul. Maybe just 48" in the rear and 20's up front. What are you thinking about your inner fenders?

I just got the bags on ebay, no kit I'll make the cups. I'm just going to cut some pipe off and cap the end. Not sure what I have to do on the top? I need the practice welding . Ordered a 8 gal 8 port tank. Someday I'll have everything I need.

[daverod]

Some guy in a brown truck dropped of a box. So glad now I won't have find a curb to shift into 2nd. Even came with new rods. It just like my old one but better and newer and shinererer.er and blury

[ruffrida2005]

Dude just buy the bags and build your own cups. I'm not going to run inner fenders for awhile, but I've thought about doing that same Idea and sheetmetaling it in.

[daverod]

Got me some bags.Ebay 109 free shipping Dom 2600.

[ruffrida2005]

good deal dude. is that for 2? Be careful about ebay bags thought. Some are knock offs that use the dom and slam logos. Got a link to the buy.

[daverod]

I just typed in dom 2600 on ebay . http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Air-Lift-D2600...3355bbb8e1Here ya go. First link did'nt work.

[ruffrida2005]

Hey man where did you put the angle on to get the pinion angle on the rear. I need to get an Idea. Do you put it on the rear where the bolts go on the cover?

And your link dind't work, Just shows free shiping

[daverod]

I put it on the flat part where the u bolts hold the u joint on then just added 90 degrees and went from there. Mines just tacked untill I get my engine and trans in. Then I'll do it for real. Link works now.http://www.carcraft.com/howto/91758/index.html

[ruffrida2005]

Bags look good. Thanks for the pinion info
