that shouldn't be too hard though huh?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Both people have to be present in front of the notary...And we are going down on a sunday.....I asked the guy if their is a notary near by

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

well that kind of blows!! but I hope your able to find it man!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

OK I got the guys address and he is actually only 4 hour and 38 mins away... His mom is a notary and is looking up if she can notarize for a family member...So hopefully that will work

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

that will be awesome if she can!!!! if she can't I'm sure she probably knows people that can do it!

This is the first roadtrip in your truck huh?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yeah!! lol Ive drove it about an hour 1 way but not almost 5

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yeah that's going to be fun! lol tell me how it goes, my friends dad has a 76 with a 355 he said on the hwy he gets 16mpg, I can only imagine the city mileage lol I estimate mine to get like 10mpg at most and that's driving it easy.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Awesome! His mom can notarize it! He convinced her to go to early service so she will be available when we get there!! Yay!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!! Awesome, BEE JEFF is coming to bring you home!!!! Did you ever find out why you shouldn't drive it for 5 hours?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Rus talked to the guy about it and is confident we can tweak it a bit and drive her home

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

sweet!!! Rus is the man that always has a plan!!! Well congrats man!!! Get to bring BEE to its new home and you can't forget got to take pictures of it!

Who gets to drive BEE home though, because isn't BEE a standard?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Me take pictures? Never!! lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

lol haha but its awesome!!!! glad your going to get it man!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

On another note...Ive drove about 130 miles and emptied the trucks gas tank lol...Man baby u knows how to chug lol Well that if the gauge was reading correct when it was working for a lil while this morning

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

HAHAHA!!! I hear you there man, I thought I was getting decent mileage yeah I was proven wrong pretty quick that 305 of ours likes to drink! only reason i want to get a 4 speed tranny man or get my 3 speed geared right to where I can get semi decent mileage.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I think its just the wat she is setup right now...Because the choke cap is messed up sometimes she is idling higher then she should Plus its city driving, stop and go traffic on the interstate and so on. So cruising in decent traffic might be better and once the throttle and kick down cable are fixed im sure it will be a bit better

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I agree, mine was idling high when I took her out the other day but I also haven't driven her or kept her running really for more than a couple of minutes so I'm sure that was my issue, but yeah if you have a steady pace she'll do pretty good, the beauty of having old school trucks get to fine tweak them all the time. sometimes i still think about going efi on it but i think its more fun having a carbed motor plus makes it for more work experience.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

So we are all good to go?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yes sir!!!!!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Next question... Is your truck gonna make it 9 hours? Or are we gonna have to make some tweaks on it too? lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

lol!! I think it should....I need to tweak the kickdown cable and throttle cable a bit but other then that i dont think it should be an issue...Just hard to get the car going 70 because of how hard it is to push the pedal...LOL We also just need to remember to stop for gas every 130 miles or so lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

lol Do you have an engine hoist or access to one? Mine is still in east Tennessee. We will need something to lift that 289!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

ROFL!! Um no.......lemme check harbor freight on that

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

damn...lot more expensive then i thought....hmmmm

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I would like to leave super early like 4:30ish
