That is true , I always think of us as the lightly modified engine group, we dont often hear of high HP engines on the 60-66 group.. I work for an engine parts warehouse as well as doing a fair amount of builds.. many times our customers run into this problem when running a low vacuum cam or or one that is too large,that is all other things are right such as timing etc... on applications where you have an idle problem/low vacuum , the fix is to drill an 1/8 inch hole in both front butterflies because the throttle plates are open too far at idle .. with the throttle plates open so far to make it idle the slot for the fuel is over exposed making it run rich .....

dude sorry to hear about your misfortune in the start but truck turned out awesome. i was wondering if i could get some info on your rear track bar, an how you manage to keep the bags straight while laid out. also how tall did yall make the rear notch.

thanks

Adjust the air/fuel ratio.... honestly I wouldn't by an edelbrock carb new... there tossed together in a factory so quick it would make your head spin. Get ahold of the rebuild instructions and go through it... the floats I would almost GUARANTEE are jacked up. Ive ran em for years... Hated em for years.... and went back to em after years.

[DRTYRAT30]

the last two 1406's i had, the floats were off on the drop and hang. Make sure your timming is good- Air Fuel idle- Fuel psi (5.5 works for me)- Check plugs for fouled or too white- Get the tunning kit with the springs, rods & jets- on my stock 350 i went two size softer springs and rich on cruise and power modes in the book... Oh and sometimes the choke is way off also... Once there dialed in they last a long time and stay in tune.

Truck looks sick man

We just did it with a pan-hard bar from http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/

But Nathan for Porterbuilt has some new goodies that should be just what your looking for: http://www.porterbuiltfabrication.co...e-Trac-Bar-Kit


For the rear notch, nothing really that special.. Again Nathan will have you covered on this too.

He make its really ez. It might be a lil more money, but after you try to do everything yourself. It is has always in my case been better to go with Porterbuilt.
------------------------


For the dang carb, I am working on a new 350 with aluminum heads, and some other cool stuff. Overall that last motor was not just not right. So I have the time so I just build it right, the carb should work much better with this application. Should be quick too!

[csa daddy]

i understand its easier to buy than build some things but the rear step is pretty easy. not first time going threw this but first time on this body style. will check nate out on the panhard bar

Yeah!! Thanks again for that tee! How is your ride coming along?

[Blue Heeler]

ain't been doing much on the truck just working like crazy, trying to get all the parts ready for the power steering then move over to dropping front to 5 inches and rear to 6 but along with that comes drop spindles brake lines booster and all the other crap that goes along with it.

[c10Mang]

Well, I can finally say for the for first time my truck is making me money!! I was drivin around a couple weeks ago and a girl asked me if she could put my truck in her music video. Here are some pix.

[Blue Heeler]

I hope you got a date with her? haha

[wc63]

Thanks Delmo!

Been working on the engine the past couple days since I can't drive.

Put in new Truss supports for my drop member.
Put some bullet hub caps on.
put in a aluminum radiator with fan shroud.
new water pump
fixed dang exhaust leak.
fixed a really bad oil leak coming out of the timing cover. Nightmare.
Put some spacers on my motor mounts to get the oil pan off the Rack.

One of the last things that has been driving me nuts! It runs so rich, smells so bad. I can't even drive my girlfriend around without her whining about the smell. I have asked pretty much everyone of my buddies. And it like asking them to decipher the da vinci code. I found a place called C & J engineering, but they want a 100 bucks to look at then they tell me how much it is going to cost.. I have a 1406 600 edelbrock. One of you guys might be running into this also. I have redone my plugs, and done all the lil things that you might think would help but nada.

I will try hobbling down stairs and take some pix of my progress.

Been working on a tee shirt of my ride. I don't know if I can post it cause it has my .co on it?? Its still in progress but thought you guys might like it.

are you running the edelbrock pump in puts out apx 2psi less than just about any other pump, those 1406 need only about 6 psi, just a thought

[Dinos63]

very cool!! truck looks great duude

[DRTYRAT30]

Thats Rad bro. Once again, truck is clean........

[c10Mang]

Thanks guys!!

DRTYRAT, just saw your updates!! awesome! love the color combo. What you think is the best way to clean our seats? I have white too, and it gets so dirty so fast.

As for the motor running rich, I put a new motor, new aluminum heads, new intake mani and now it runs like a dream!!

[DRTYRAT30]

I just picked up some leather/vinyl cleaner conditioner from the parts store and if it's something tough to get off I use a little rubbing alcohol then re-condition with the spray. White does suck sometimes I had it in my 54' also, but it looks so good.
