Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
What does £131.00 buy you from WASP Performance?
I am very happy tonight. These have put a silly grin my face just thinking of them fitted. Need to still get and build the 2.5" pipe work and get some 3" flanges to step down to the 2.5" from the 3" cutouts. Did I mention Anti Social Thuggery?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Welp,,, does 'on the trucks motor' count.
Taking the truck back to street and building a nice little pump gas hydraulic roller 383 for it. Has been a year since I pulled the big bullet out (in frustration) and took me 3 months to set up the valve springs (from those for the big solid roller in the 434 to these for this little hydraulic). Was just hard to retire the truck from racing I guess so took MONTHS to do a 4 hour job. but progress,, finally. should have the motor buttoned up this weekend, then get the truck back over here and start pulling the electronics and build a street friendly TH400

Once satisfied the nut is centered, finish by welding the other 2 small holes. I'm planning to post a DIY thread on my website very soon. It will have all the measurements plus some tips. One of the tips is to drill matching holes in the washer and then plug weld the washer in place. The weld will be stronger. Either way will work if the weld is done properly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
the wife got a new job, so the 63 went from driving only on sat and sun to 7 day a week duty!!
so since I have to drive it every day , I decided to fix that pesky fuel gauge... it has a no folding 73-87 seat in it , so I had to pull the whole seat- I pulled the sender out of a known working truck, and on the walk back to the garage I noticed that the float had gas in it... so I pull the sender out of the 63, gas in the float as well! I tried hooking both senders up, and moving them manually -both worked- so back out to the yard to look for a float... pulled the sender out of the crew cab tank and the float looked nice, I held it under water for a while and no air bubbles. so in it went attached to the og 63 good sender. worked for 4 hours and it was great! no longer the fear of running out!, and then on the ride home it started to sink so I went another week, but couldn't stand it any more , and pulled the seat again, this time pulling the float out of another "working" truck, this time it has lasted 3 days! so I think I am out of the woods. on a sad note both the "rust free" front fenders are starting to rust when I put them on 4 years ago I knocked a ton of dirt and dust out of the braces, so it was only a matter of time... not sure if I could have saved them, since the rust is coming through from the inside.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Got home tonight and my new gearbox mount had arrived from Langeys Rodshop.
The one that was on the truck had perished and fallen apart, so needed replacing. I was up at 05.00 to get out the house by 06.00 today, had an appointment over in the Barnet area for 08.00 and 09.00 followed by some more visits around that side of London and a pop in to head office to pick up some materials. Fortunately I was able to pop into Real Steel between appointments to pick up some parts for my engine, and some bits for mate Martin. The guys there are just amazingly helpful and patient. After work I fitted the gearbox mount and got some measurements for the flanges I need mate Darrwn to laser cut in Stainless Steel and mild steel for me that will be welded to thenY pieces and exhaust pipe when I build it. Cereal box engineering at its best. 10mm request was based on what is on the QTP Y pieces, but Darren suggested 5mm will do the job equally well. Once these are made up they get Tig welded to the stainless Y pieces and the mild steel units to the actual exhaust pipes that needs bending and fitting to the Flowmasters.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Ordered an HEI distributor for the 66 250... Been waiting for several weeks for them to get back in stock.
Saving for intake/carb/headers... Pappyx4!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
http://www.summitracing.com/search/p...20Distributors You could go with one of these. The only reason I would buy is because Summit really stands behind their product and if they fail they send you another no questions. I bought an Optima battery from them and it failed a little over a year and they sent me a new one because they have a 3 year replacement. I didn't have to send the old battery back. I actually took it down to a place that recycles them and they gave me $8 for it. The last Mallory dist that I bought from failed me from the start. I replaced the Guts with summits kit but yet to reinstall it.
