Thanks! I was thinking the same.

[Chlsnk]

With trucks you gotta pay to play.

[jgh64pkup]

exactly thats why my truck still looks the same as it did 6 months ago

[Dudewith4x4]

Lol I noticed that.. Lol Im gonna hit the national forest near here before I start working on it alot :P

[Dudewith4x4]

Update: Went out in our shop to rebuild a feeder for my dad and Looked around and I found a chevy tailgate.. lol I had a new one found but This one suprisingly is in a little better shape.. Also When I was getting the steel wool to strip some paint and rust I found some bondo I didnt know we had either. lol..

There is a crack in the top have where someone bondoed it before and it had cracked.. theres tons of dents but I have something to do :P Here it is.

BEFORE


Stay tuned for AFTER.

[Dudewith4x4]

Okay.

I see what you mean but even with traction bars the frame will hit the axle wont it
?

[jgh64pkup]

no the traction bars catch the axle wrap and brace it against the leaf spring

[Dudewith4x4]

All carbs have the same bottom right? So it does matter what manifold there is right?

Nope holley and carters have different "bolt patterns"

[Dudewith4x4]

So on the Wieland Intake.. Will a Edelbrock Carb fit on it?

[jgh64pkup]

the edelbrock (carter) has both the quadrajet (spreadbore) bolt pattern and the 4150 holley (squarebore) pattern so it will fit on either pattern

[Dudewith4x4]

So your saying it will but the quadrajet wont fit on the wieland.

[jgh64pkup]

it depends which weiand is it
if it is a street warrior then yes it will work

[Dudewith4x4]

Tah-dah

nope the quadrajet will not fit without an adapter

yes it will, it has both patterns.

you may need to lay a gasket on it to make sure the secondaries will clear the flange but a little time with a flad wheel or die grinder will solve that.

ok then
watever you want to believe
if you want to put a q-jet on it you need to have a spread bore intake like this

what did i say, you have to lay a gasket down and make sure the secondaries will clear, some time witha flap wheel and a die grinder will make it work it doesnt.

[Dudewith4x4]

Should a 600 edelbrock carb fit on there?

[jgh64pkup]

yep it sure will

[Dudewith4x4]

Is there anyway to make sure a carb works without hooking it up.

[jgh64pkup]

not really i would go through it though these edelbrocks are really easy

[Dudewith4x4]

What do you mean? rebuild it?

[jgh64pkup]

yep

[Dudewith4x4]

The other set of holes you mean?
