Progress looks good! How hard was the ASVAB compared to say, the End of Grade tests?

[oldblue1968chevy]

asvab made alot more sense..if that makes sense lol

probably easier and not as much BS trick questions etc

[thirdstreettito]

Sweet, I'm joining the ARMY, so it's nice to know...

[oldblue1968chevy]

Have you taken the asvab yet? what did you make?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Crocs i hate when the wife wears them I wore work boots on cement from 5am to 3:30pm today

[thirdstreettito]

Lol no, I asked you how hard it was so I would know. I still have to lose 100lbs.

[oldblue1968chevy]

thirdstreettito- you should be able to at least take some pracitce tests at the recruiters or maybe take the real test? Have you went and talked with one yet? Just how big a boy are ye? I was barely big enough (scrawny)

Nate-I would've much prefered boots today I believe lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

got reg.to carb plumbed (notpictured) in hard line, not sure about pump to reg. witha filter..might cheap temporarily and use rubber lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

And i think i'll trim the top flat..no point in it going straight up

[oldblue1968chevy]

And regulator will have line to carb comming out the top and going along the valve cover

[thirdstreettito]

John, I'm 315lbs and 6' 3.5". Everyone says I dont look it, but I'm also always clothed(lol). I have to lose 100lbs the online recruiter said, when I get some gas money I can make it to the real recruiter, he's 40mi away. I cant wait, I also have to pass the fitness test, I'm going to shoot for Army Ranger scores(they arent much higher), that way I make sure I pass with flying colors, instead of barely passing.

[oldblue1968chevy]

I hear the far away lol

[thirdstreettito]

Yeah, you probably get worse mileage than me as well.

[oldblue1968chevy]

About 11 im in the process of a tune up and fuel reuglation correction

MY RADIO DELETE PLATE CAME TODAY! SAME COLOR AND ALL COULDNT BEAT IF FOR $6 BUCKS! POLISHING THE PAINT NOW!

Anyone know how to attach radio delete to a cut dash with out the clips? i'll figure something out..gonna try to finish my pressure regulator too

[slick copper]

On the radio delete plate, maybe JB weld? Or some other form of adhesive?
Wanted to say too, nice looking engine! Don't think I'd seen a pic of your engine before. I like the newer plastic cover on top of your air cleaner, cool idea!

[oldblue1968chevy]

plastic cover?...

It looked alot better before it was my 1st yours looks better actually. One day i'll pull it and reseal it etc repaint and make it/keep it nice its a dd so impossible to keep nice/clean offroading/dirt/gravel/fields etc

I treid gorilla glue but got impatient..will have to try jb weld epoxy i started a thread in the big board so maybe someone posts with ideas

Ha, i like it to a point but i like to be private and still able to get somewhere quicker like near a good highway i went to my cousins graduation in cullman county al one time several years ago and we drove a good way out of town boy that was the worst sticks i remember very small senior class.

[oldblue1968chevy]

actually this was closer to manchester than my house..just further in the sticks, if that makes sense lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

Got my pressure regulator installed tuned. Starts alot better idles alot better (before youd have to go WOT for 3 miles before it would stay running) idles MUCH better and starts alot faster. Now I gotta get the timing squared away...

I DO have pictures but I got a new phone and im still learning...and the camera had dead batteires earlier

still thinking of how to mount radio delete and wondering why cigar lighter delete wont stay in the hole (hole too big or cigar lighter too small lol)

Anyone measure their cigar lighter hole for me with some calipers and give me the measurements?

john how is the spot and the trim coming?

[oldblue1968chevy]

A guy in 60-66 forums somehow managed to get sent the wrong template and hes gonna send it to me when he gets time. So im waiting on his template or making a template from the junkyard. And waiting on 4 clips that hold the bulb in.

Trim-I need the push in clips and more trim. Right now im doing fuel regulator and getting timing curve dialed in. Finished regulator last nite.

Edelbrock carbs run sucky @ idle if its more than 5-6 psi. It wouldnt even idle you had to mash the gas and drive it for a few miles before it would, and even then id load up and jump around alot

[Hubscrub]

finished pixs?

[oldblue1968chevy]

maybe tomorow lol
