Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
One day I may need some of this.
Trying to fit the overflow bottle and have clearance for the hood hinge.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Any way to use an overflow bottle from another vehicle from the JY? Might be able to find the shape you need?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
looks like it calls for a custom welded stainless overflow catch that fills in the some open space on the fender well ....

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
maybe a car overflow, like a late model impala or malibu...would be flatter ?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I think that is a great idea. Too bad you can't use the factory box, but the aftermarket unit should look pretty cool. Would a K&N filter attached right to the trottlebody fit or is that the kit you are referring to?

Tonight I just worked on tidying up a bit with wires and grounding straps, checking and tightening bolts, etc. Nothing picture worthy.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Everything on your build is worth a picture. Keep up the incredible work - you are an inspiration to all of us weekend wrenchers who only dream of having the ambition and ability to do what you have. Thanks.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I've done a little gas cap sleuthing and figured out what a "vented gas cap" is and how it works. Everyone else may already know, but after disassembling it I realize that there is a one way check valve which allows air to be drawn in (to relieve the vacuum pressure of emptying the tank through using up the gas).
This valve will not allow fumes to be vented out into the air. It will be a piece of cake for me to just remove the check valve and dab some sealant in the air holes to keep any air from coming or going. My question is though, do I want to do this? Does a new truck cap completely seal or does it also let air in to relieve vacuum pressure just like the old one? I could try it unmodified first and see what happens, but now I am curious. Who's got an answer?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Original tanks are vented directly in a few spots. Including a vent line on the filler tube. Cap is not vented. New stuff is different though and you can get check engine lights if the gas cap is left off.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I needed to fuse my air ride system and was going to use a crummy inline fuse until I started poking around in my new fuse box and found an open slot for a 30 amp Maxi fuse. I went to an audio supplier and got the correct slot connector and tied it all in through the back of the fuse box. A ground to the body and air ride is ready to go!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
My rad, rad. cover is looking good, almost factory. I may be needing door latches and a seat pretty soon. Oh, and brakes too.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
That looks great! Definitely the right choice painting it to match the rad support
