Re: PO has me PO'd
I'm not sure there is actually any performance advantage of wasted spark, it really has to do with having half as many trigger events to keep track of. You basically fire the plug based on the crank trigger alone. My 6 will have that initially when I'm running carbs, mostly because it's just simpler to pull off with an engine that never had a distributor and my options are limited for a simple ignition only crank trigger based ignition that will work with a 6. I'll be using one that is typically used with a Porsche flat 6. The "wasted spark" happens during the exhaust stroke when there is no fuel to burn and the exhaust valve is open so there isn't any real way to gain anything from it.

Re: PO has me PO'd
I ve been sourcing out my spicer front axle locking hubs, finally located everything to switch over my Warn locking hubs to Spicer (everything is differant)
Decided to look up Spicerparts.com.....came up with a service manual w/ exploded view. Home page Drop down to expert Light axle Literature & catalogs 5306-1 The only part i don t have are the 6 bolts and washers. I know they are 10-24, but i don t know the length. Could someone pull one out of their hub, and measure the length? Make sure you retorque to 35-40 in/ pounds.....INCH/POUNDS off the manual I should be able to match them up, once i know for sure wnat the length is....thanks Teaser  [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06/16230701555/]

Re: PO has me PO'd
Perfect Richard, thank you for taking the time. Seems Warn used a 32tpi, and Spicer used a 24tpi....oh well

Re: PO has me PO'd
Does any one have an idea what would be used to remove this threaded collar with all the little holes in a radial pattern? I consider myself well stocked with tools, but this one is not in my box.
I don t have to remove it now, but if i have to replace a wheel bearing, i would like to have the tool for the job  20150109_083326

As far as the wheels go, i wanted something differant. Steelies look great, but everyone that is anybody on the board is running them. So, i went steelies, only on a corvette theme. I had the 4" beauty ring on there but, it covered up too much of my wheel. So, i went with the hot rod beauty rings from wheels vintique, still sets off the wheel just more shadow lines, and i can still pinstripe them I put bead bags in them, so no weights show Thanks for looking

Re: PO has me PO'd
It finally happened....hit a wall after 14 years, had no interest in working on my truck....
Solution: spend money on it So, i bought a used Vintage Air from the parts board ( thanks dan) Yanked out the heater core and cover, inside box, only cut myself 12 times, blood thinners sure make you bleed alot Their firewall cover left alot to be desired, so i started making my own fill plates out of 1/8" diamond plate   20150206_123504 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/people/97391199@N06/

Re: PO has me PO'd
I hear you on hitting the wall. Sometimes I wonder why I do projects. Years of working and spending money and no playing. Like you, ordering a box of new parts and a weekend away from the garage usually tears the wall down for me!

Re: PO has me PO'd
I hear you. Other than coming onto the forum I don't really have anyone near me to keep me going when I get stalled out.
Thanks for the comment on my finances. It has been brutal, but we are coming out the other side now and never looking back to debt again. Thank Goodness! Good luck with the blazer and keep thinking about how awesome it is going to be driving that Blazer through the beautiful Pennsylvania mountains.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Keep at it Jim. It’s all really looking great. As far as walls go, I’m pretty sure we all hit them. I didn’t get much for local visitors while building my Blazer and would have probably thrown in the towel a time or two if not for the encouragement from this great forum.
