Very nice work Leon! I'm sure you're loving having the AC in your shop right now!

Thanks Ryan, I'm going to have to burn some midnight oil to get this thing done for the Nats.

I wouldn't be out here if I didn't have the air on. That thing works pretty good for being a dinosaur...

Yes, as a matter of fact I am almost ready to try firing it up. Finished installing the booster and plumbing the brakes, soldered all of the fuse and relay connections, and finally figured out the under dash wiring. Just finishing up the fuel fill hose on it and double checking everything. I went to town and filled up a couple of gas cans a while ago.

I used the trans linkage from a TH400 and everything worked out good. I had to re-drill two holes in the frame for the linkage pivot bracket but other than that everything bolted right up.... Getting the TCC wires connected to the extra contacts on the brake light switch was a fun job...NOT!! All of that small stuff is what's time consuming. That and looking for parts that I put somewhere safe so I wouldn't lose them..

I don't have the front clip on it yet but should be able to get that done this weekend, hopefully.

No pictures right now because I forgot to bring the camera out to the shop with me.

Good progress. The old 80/20 rule where the little stuff that is 20% percent of visable work takes 80% of the time it seems.

You got that right. Then factor in the time looking for parts I took off puts it over the top...

.. I wish I was more organized, but that's just not me.

Well I fired the engine up today. I had a small glitch that took me some time to figure out but it was really simple, I missed hooking up one ground wire. The only problem was it was the most important one. It was for the PCM, so everything was dead until I figured it out.

Congrats on getting it running Leon, it must feel good to cross that milestone.

Thanks Dale, I wasn't sure I could figure all of that stuff out, but I wasn't going to let it get the best of me...

It sounds like you're really gaining some ground on it Leon!

Yea, the guys from Grinnell came down yesterday and helped me set the front clip back on it. I didn't get too much done today and I have to go to Car Country in the morning and get some stuff.... If I can get the tune done in the next few days I will be in good shape. Then I can take it to the muffler shop and then the alignment shop.

Going fast! It is always a good feeling to get one running...kinda like bringing it to life.

I sure was glad to hear it fire up even if it was only for three seconds....

I went to the salvage yard yesterday and picked up a couple of things. The electric fans are off of a 2002 Toyota Camry (I can't verify this) and they fit the '67-'72 radiator to a "T". I also blasted and painted the auxiliary battery box and installed it.

Leon, on that Jeep dual fan setup, any idea which fan is the primary and which is secondary?

Hi Bob,

No I don't. I thought about just running them both at the same time.....

Fans look like a nice fit. Did you go in looking for this set up, or did you just bring in a tape measure?

msgross · 08-09-2015, 10:05 AM

nice ride...

I just measured my radiator and went looking. This setup was just laying in the back of the jeep so I measured it and it was exact to my measurements. They priced it at $35 so I took it home.

I have bought quite a few dual fan setups from the auto wrecker, nice price. Here would be closer to $80 for the same.
