Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I didn't take out the whole distributor, only the cover, so the position of the rotor vs the timing on the balancer hasn't changed.

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Cool, I didn't get that part. Wire it up and you will be fine. #1 is just before the rotor.

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I trust your expertise, it's just that if I turn the engine counter clockwise until the balancer reads 12 degrees ignition advance, the rotor is still not at the sparkplug before the rotor, so how much degrees advance would a 350 normally have?

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Can you post a picture of TDC and the rotor showing where it is sitting, or at 0, and where #1 is on the dist. housing? It might help.

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Steve hope all is good Figured I would chime in here I would imagine you got most of your questions answered but headers are a real pain if you don't get the right ones and keeping the bolts tight are another thing also. Do you ever go to Summitracing.com, they have a few choices for the header bolts, the alien head s are good but they also sell bolts with a 12 point head and other locking type bolts. Hope this helps.
http://www.summitracing.com/search?S...header%20bolts The stock headers are also a pain on my 95 K2500 we had to use a pry bar to get the holes to align. Here are a couple of pix of the cermac coated headers I bought from Summit ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Your timing mark may not be accurate. Mine was way off. I could never find TDC using all the tricks on the forums like a piece of cotton or finger or a chop stick.
so I got one of these. ![]() makes it so easy I could do it!! Cool build! |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Just googled "Header Bouten" (Bouten are Bolts in Dutch) and look what I found
![]() ![]() So we do sell them in the Netherlands, but for now I'll stick with the allen bolts and TDC (which is called BDP in Dutch...Bovenste Dode Punt) finders we have as well! never occurred to me to look for that:

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I was back working on the wiring and discovered that my 3 year old son helped me with color coding the wiring diagram
![]() and can anybody tell me the purpose of the 8 black wire in the middle? ![]() last question; does anybody agree that the position of my indicator arm looks odd? ![]()

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I believe that's the converter for if you put in a later style steering column.
And it looks like that is the case with yours.

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Ah, ok, so since I'm putting in a complete new 12 circuit mini EZ wiring set, I can loose the converter?

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
So back from the holiday's, hope y'all had great days with family and friends.
Poland had no snow, so no white xmas this year ![]() went to work on the truck yesterday and didn't feel like attacking the wiring, so I decided to change the ignition lock cylinder. I discovered that the previous owner had bought new door and ignition locks going through a box with miscelanious parts. having no idea how to change it I turned to google and ended up at this great movie on Youtube:you gotta love youtube! didn't get much more done, my mate was there working on his '69 Charger, so it was all talk and no show ![]()

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I have another thread going only for the wiring stuff: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...82#post6465482
and as I describe there, we got the wiring figured out! I didn't get everything hooked up yet, but atleast I now know where everything should go. (I couldn't figure out the ignition switch and gauge cluster wiring) hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow to get is mocked up and see if everything works, the I'll cust the wires to length and tidy them up. and then...I'll still have plenty to do ![]()

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Another month has passed since I posted in this thread. I got some good tips in my other one regarding the wiring, so thats'all figured out!
I also had a thread regarding the wiring of the propane tanks and the mixer and although I didn't get any responds I worked it out, so I felt it was about time to test it! filled up the engine and tranny with oil, put some water in it and guess what? check the video!! https://vimeo.com/86941619 ![]()

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Got some more work done on the wiring, put in the wires for the dome and cargi light. I also bought some electrical plugs so I can shorten some of the EZ wires and a power splitter. it looks small, but is 5"s long, so I have see where it will fit. But I'll use it as a central point from where I can draw either battery power or ignition power.
![]() Then I tried to splice a wire. I found a how-to in youtube which looked easy enough..but as you can tell from the pictures, I had a hard time and need more practice ![]() first attempt: ![]() ![]() second attempt: ![]() ![]() Gawd..I can't look at these pictures without laughing, I need help ![]() But I must say, besides the way it looks..it sure is strong. I'm here on the next picture pulling at the wire with my full 175 pounds ![]()

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
wanted a change from the wiring, so I took my heater apart. Now I can't remember whether it was working in the first place, but if I put a feed to the connector and a ground to the body, the damn thing should start spinning right?
![]() Also my top waterhose started leaking after I had fired up the engine last weekend, so I took it off; *Shock and Awe* ![]() what is that?

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Steve that looks like some kind of corrosion did you flush your radiator?

![]() OMG..I can't believe I forgot to do that...you're right because I just unbolted it, disconnected the hoses, emptied it and that was it. is there a special fluid you should flush it with? (hope that's not a dumb question) now the cooling lines in the engine can get clogged right..

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Checked with a local repairshop that specializes in US classics and they have some stuff from JB to flush the cooling system, so I'll use that.
but something's come up, something I had to check before I dumped the old cabine at the scrapper.. the cabines are different. the old one was non AC, the new one had AC, so the heatercore doesn't fit!! ![]() the cab is painted and mounted, I can't possibly weld in a piece..or can and should I. the average temperature here in Netherlands is 62F, so I can do without an AC ![]() if anybody knows a solution I'd like to hear it! Also in my headlight there is a small bulb, I guess you call it the park light right? it's being held by a small clip..but it's empty on the right side, what do you call the bulb holding thingy? I can't find it on lmc ![]()
