Re: My 42 Project
Glad you made a decision on the fenders they look great
Well we are having some water leaks in the "milliondollar radiator" and I don't remember how much trouble it is to remove the front end, I have slept too many times since mock-up. Fenders to running boards, hood, core support, cooling lines and rad hoses what am I forgetting? |
Re: My 42 Project
I know the pain. If you don't pull it all apart, you will scratch the paint on something. yeah trans lines, radiator hoses, cooling fan, wire harness, front fenders, hood. Wow that is some work.
Thanks Joedoh |
Re: My 42 Project
Took the truck out for a ride. Very soft ride with stock suspension. Brakes work nice. That motor may have way too much horse power for the stock front end. I may have to change the steering to a rack or vega box or mustang 2.
The steering is tight but its almost like the wheels are off the ground. Maybe a steering dampener might do the trick |
Re: My 42 Project
Can you dial in a few more degrees of castor?

Re: My 42 Project
@solidaxle, I will check that out. It makes perfect sense, that could be it.

Re: My 42 Project
Time fly's by and other projects get in the way, and now its time to fix some problems. The carb 1404 keeps draining so I thought. I pulled the top of the carb off and sure enough the carb was almost empty. Did some research and found out that fuel in California evaporates and boils at 180 degrees. Since this engine runs about 195 to 200 means it was boiling out after being turned off. I installed a insulator under the carb and that should take care of that. The next problem is, as I was reading that I might have too much pressure at the carb because of the after market fuel pump. So I put in a fuel regulator. I opened it all the way and it showed 2 lbs of pressure. Gezzz. So I am changing the fuel pump today and see what happens. I also have been working on the headliner. What a pain in the ass a two piece headliner is. Any tips let me know. Thanks

Re: My 42 Project
I got a few Purolator fuel pumps at a swap meet. The one I put in the truck supposedly checked at the factory only puts out 2 lbs. The next one puts out 6. Good enough for the Edelbrock carb. I am replacing the accelerator cable, it somehow broke the casing. Next project is the 700r4 wiring for the lockout

I sold this truck last year. I recently got a message from a guy who says he bought it from the guy I sold it to. It has really been fixed up a lot. It is in the Temecula/Murrieta area. Maybe I will get to see it again
