Re: PO has me PO'd
Not given up, but they do need to be rethought for the PCV. That effort could be used more affectively into gettin' the motor RUNNING

Re: PO has me PO'd
Some updated shots of the engine...
Senator350 gave me the idea for the return line on the top heater hose. And LHM was adamant about the use of the PCV system, so with the help from Tynee(thanks for the VC's), I went back to the stock system Also borrowed the adapter(inverted flare to AN-6) from my PS box to mock up fuel line ![]() ![]() ![]()

I usually use both. But what do I know. I tend to overdue things though.

Re: PO has me PO'd
You're a plumber, that's why I asked. Isn't there a rule not to put dope on the first 2 threads so it doesn't get into your system.Thanks for the invite to Mich., some day I may be able to take you up on it

Re: PO has me PO'd
Haven't heard about the 2 thread rule, but it sounds like a good one.
Let me know when you're heading this way and I'll put the beer on ice. ![]()

Electric water pump?? Sweet. Apparently I've been too busy sulking about my motor to keep up with yours. Looks good Jim.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Trying to fix the attempt by the PO when he added a 4" lift, brake lines were to short, so he added the 'L' bracket. I'm sure this is adequate, but I am extremely anal...
Bought the front 2 SS brake lines from In-Line tube w/ brackets, minor amount of tweaking and they bolted up. Not sure if my brackets are in the right place ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
Finished up all my brake lines(do this with the front end sheet metal off), PITA, otherwise. Couple problems, my local hydraulic hose shop made my front lines, as suggested by the board, I added 8" for a 4" lift. The fitting he used for the brake was a 10mm, so I had to bore it out to 7/16", he didn't have the right fitting. Only about .003" differance, but the bolt wouldn't go in. Two locations on the frame for the hose to go thru, one with the flat, and one without, my fitting didn't have the flat. So I used the upper hole, plus I used a panel nut, beefier than the sheetmetal nut.
Those guys at In-Line tube had all the bends right on. Make sure all fittings are started by hand a good 3-4 turns, nothing is worse than cross threading a new brake line ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
