Re: PO has me PO'd
Well, the men from Michigan have been very generous indeed.....sent 10" this time, but it does give me time to work on the nutplate

Re: PO has me PO'd
Got the nutplate finished, waiting on 6/32" ss bolts, not much room for anything larger. Had to counter bore plate (about .075 ) to allow for stud head welded to the tank, then used 10/32" setscrews to keep the plate from moving around
Now i can use the old filler neck to drill holes in the tank Just wanted to be able to drop the tank easily when it comes time to change out fuel pump Rubber gasket is next to make, between filler neck and tank ![]() 20140124_113133 by james_jaros, on Flickr ![]() 20140124_112728 by james_jaros, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
Filler neck fitted up to tank, may require small amount of dimpling where it goes over frame.....ordered 1 3/8" soft rubber hose from filler neck supply co.(can bend 90 degrees in 11.5")
Now i can work on the vent that i got from tanks inc. and that should be the end of my tank mod. ![]() 20140211_122453 by james_jaros, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks AJ, Big J and Rick....
Sorry aj, but fishing is my second fav. thing to do, so i thought it should be documented ![]() I agree with you, this board has helped alot, i can see how a mod. will look before i do it, change anything and then go about replicating it. Helps to be able to see it in my mind first, great fab skills from our member board. Wished i had some..... Yeah Rick up by you, 1/2 north of Syracuse, Salmon River at Altmore. Just saw a pic. of youre spare tire mount, you really ought to clean your interior once in awhile, j/k ![]() Thanks for the compliments, i try hard to make it perfect, because 60,000 motorheads are watching!

Re: PO has me PO'd
Had a couple moments to work on some areas.....installed distributor, worked on some vacuum problems(i need more ports - trans., vacuum gauge, P/B, cruise control). Bought an couple adapters(NPT to JIC) abit ugly, so i ordered one adapter to shorten the whole assembly. Problem is, i know nothing about how much vacuum i need, so, ill bore the fitting out larger then what i have and hope for the best......unless, someone has a better idea!
Found a place to mount dual stick emergency brake, now just have to make cables ![]() 20140305_135951 by james_jaros, on Flickr ![]() 20140303_122413 by james_jaros, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
Cool setup with the dual e-brake, what are your plans for a console? Or will the handles be hidden inside?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Me too, Tully! I just hope it makes loud motor noises, and not POP! BANG! GRIND! noises. It does have the original bottom end, and im starting to think that now is the time to replace it Problem is, i dont know if i want a 400, or a 383. Would be cool to have a stroked big, small block. Thats what my Dad had in his......He's always in my thoughts and prayers BTW, that is a 7/8" freeze plug installed in the intake runner

Re: PO has me PO'd
Started on final mock up, before bolting up intake (7,9,11 inch/pounds) down. A little fitment problem with the 9th injector block off plate. Was rocking on the intake surface, 1/16th" of filing on the outside edge got it to seat right
Im a stud and flange nut kinda guy, makes assembly easier ![]() 20140422_114629 by james_jaros, on Flickr Black oxide stud went into a water jacket, so i used a thread sealer, plan to use this location for grounding wire harness Dont use a black marker to lay out you gasket ![]() 20140422_092703 by james_jaros, on Flickr

Re: PO has me PO'd
We use to have a similar pump on our Farm in Indiana... wish I would have grabbed it before everything was auctioned off.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Love the pump Jim. Good job. In my humble opinion, that free advertising ought to be worth a year's free board membership, right?
