What ever happened with this? Is it terrorizing the streets yet?

handsomerob · 04-02-2010, 11:10 AM

Sorry for the delay in posting but I've been busy and a little under the weather lately, But I figured I could throw up a few more pics. I had a chance to install the accessories, put in new engine mounts, install the new master/booster, Starter, etc. I installed a Vaccuum pump for the master but don't have a pic, and I also install an electric fuel pump but don't have a pic either.

But here are some pics I do have.

Very Cool.

Where did you get the brake booster and if I can ask how much (if you don't want to say you can pm me as well), mine needs replacing.

Booster/Master combo was from LMC and I believe it was like $299.99

Well did some more work today, got the metering valve all prettied up. Then I took a look behind the dash . . . it wasn't a pretty sight.

Well as you can see I have gotten into the "scarey" part of this project

I say "scarey" as most people find electrical a nightmare. I however am well versed and have no issue with this, However, I was wondering if anyone has a wiring schematic for a 72 C20 as over the last 38 years there have been a few hack jobs etc. I want to streamline the wiring down to the necessities. I have a lot more wiries to bring in thanks to the tranny controller etc.

So if anyone has a shematic for a 72 C20 I would be greatful to have a copy.

Thanks in advance.

You're welcome!

handsomerob · 04-15-2010, 05:42 PM

Well got into the wiring today, things are going well.

Gonna spend the weekend hammering through all the wiring, one step closer every day.

VA72C10 · 04-15-2010, 05:48 PM

Keep at it! You're making great progress!!!

*highperf4x4* · 04-15-2010, 06:18 PM

What size paper did you print those schematics on?

handsomerob · 04-15-2010, 06:20 PM

standard 9 1/2 x 11 portrait style, on a colour laser.

made it a little clearer to read with the laser.

*highperf4x4* · 04-15-2010, 06:21 PM

When I get ready to do mine I might have you mail me a copy!

handsomerob · 04-15-2010, 06:26 PM

lol, might be cool to get a print shop to print them on legal and in colour, or such, could even split them onto 4 pages too.

handsomerob · 04-17-2010, 07:07 PM

Well worked on wiring today, made a mount for the tranny controller.

Thanks for the offer brother but I have them already. I sent those files for him to print out. I was just kidding him about printing some out for me too.

That's the power steering fluid reservoir for the big block trucks.

btullis99 · 04-17-2010, 11:24 PM

i'd like a little info on the upper radiator hose. i've got the serp setup on my small block but haven't had any luck finding an upper hose that fits in front or behind the alternator. i've got a flex hose on it and i hate it. part number, or application would be great.
