Re: 1968
here is the video of the truck running. I still have to put my rails back on the truck to separate the wires a little. To make it look clean. I will mount the tires on the rims Friday. Will post how they look on Friday. I can't up load the video something about a security token and ideas

Re: 1968
Probably just needed to replace the module in the distributor, they are cheap and easy to get. You could have put in a GM one even

Re: 1968
I checked the module and it was good. so I went to the bone yard and picked up one that was in great shape for a song.

Re: 1968
Well. UPS struck again. They can't find my other two wheels. So I contacted summit and they are shipping me two more wheel, they should be here Tuesday. So Wednesday I will marry the wheels to the tires and mount them on the truck. Every time I crank the truck it sounds better. can't wait until I can drive the ole girl. I have a exhaust leak on the manifold on the pass side. so I will tighten it up before Wednesday. Got to adjust the rear brakes and bleed the system. and then I will take it to the front end shop for allingment. Almost ready to drive,

Re: 1968
Today I added anti freeze to the radiator and adjusted the rear brakes. I started to bleed the brakes but come upon a slight problem. The proportioning valve was a used one I pick up some where and it didn't work. so I bought a complete master and booster with proportioning valve with brackets and lines. a complete set up I just didn't want any problems with the brakes. it should be in in a few days. I don't like the way the torque converter sounded so I ordered a new one also. A minor set back but this way I know it will be right. So tomorrow I will pull the brake set up off the truck and start to pull the transmission back, I will not take the transmission all the way out of the truck. I did this before with the flex plate, I should have installed new torque converter then. But money was tight, so now I am paying for it in labor.
Still waiting for my other two wheels to come in. they should be here tomorrow I hope.

Re: 1968
I ordered a new torque converter and a new chrome master cly and brake booster and proportioning valve with lines all chrome. I also got the front and rear seals, I know I don't want to do this again for a 10.00 seal. It wasn't leaking but why not.
There was only a few dollars difference between the chrome and the cast iron. So I always say Chrome will get you home.My parts will be here on the 14th of this month. So a little down time will do me good. I finally got my other two wheels so I will mount them to the tire tomorrow. I hope nothing goes wrong.

Re: 1968
I got my tires mounted on the new rims today. I am not going to mount them on the truck until I get the transmission torque converter and the brake booster back together.
I just don't want to have them in my way at this point. Dave I will call you in the morning thanks george
