Thanks Dennis.

That's how I thought they might go. It's really the only way for it to work. I was just having a problem with the tires hitting. Guess I'll go play with it some more. Then I'll go work on my truck.

Strodder · 01-17-2012, 09:15 PM

Wheel spacers might help too.

daverod · 01-17-2012, 11:47 PM

57truckguy · 01-22-2012, 04:12 AM

I thought you were joking. I really thought you meant the cantilever 4 links I did on a 55. But it was a Caddy.

57truckguy · 01-24-2012, 12:40 AM

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=247512

No I was serious, this guy has the badest ass supension I've seen in a long time.. completely home made and works like a dream.. Like I said its not what I would do, but I really appreciate the work and effort he has put in that project.. Now don't get your pannies in a twist, I like yours also... LOL

57truckguy · 02-02-2012, 02:37 AM

Strodde I just notice you mentioned on Alan's site that you put a T and mounted two temp sensors in it.. How does it work... I was having the same issue with an older intake and found a thremostate cover that had a bung on it for a temp sensor.. Came stock on a mid 60 GM vehicle, a truck I think.. Don't remember its been over 10 years since I got it... One sendor for the fan and one for the guage.

Strodder · 02-02-2012, 10:28 AM

It's a brass T. I hope it works OK, because I haven't started it yet. Might have to bleed air from it so the sensor reads correctly.

57truckguy · 02-02-2012, 10:48 AM

In my case I was concerned that the reading wouldn,t be correct

Strodder · 02-02-2012, 10:51 AM

It shouldn't effect it, unless like I said if it has a air pocket in the Tee.

watahyahknow · 02-02-2012, 01:29 PM

the brass conducts the temperature pretty good i think the little air inside wouldn't affect it , maibe making it slower to come up and go down , pressure sensors would be a different matter

**Palf70Step** · 02-02-2012, 07:03 PM

I have used them before both on oil pressure and water temp (to have a gauge and the idiot light in my case) and it works real well normally. Well at least n the olde days of the 60s/70s.

watahyahknow · 02-02-2012, 08:44 PM

sorry i think i forgot to mention that i was talking about the airbubble , it might mess up the pressure reading
the T will work fine with everything
