Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Thanks Nobby I went that route first I still have the tank,just figured it may be to small.So I changed to a 31 gallon suburban tank but it hangs a little low so i may have to go back the other way,thanks for the info.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
If you havent decided on the dash, look at the Dakota Digital VHX...
Also, dont worry about wheels till you get the truck running and driving. Its easy to swap wheels... |
Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Sweet Burb. Love the wheel/tire/hubcap combo.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub

Well a slight bit of progress a couple of early Christmas presents got the radiator mocked and mounted went with a Chevy Impala Ls style radiator with the correct upper and lower hoses and steam line already plumbed.picked up some hoses and that parts all done.Done away with the upper mount,chose to lower radiator and mount it directly to the core support,should tuck up nice once I reinstall the two upper core support extensions,radiator also came with fan,so I installed a relay tied into my already supplied fan wire that came with the harness tied in the psi pcm fan wire bingo should work like a champ

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Is the engine start switch just to engage the starter or does it also energize the ignition?
|
Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Hi Captain Fab it just activates the starter once the igntion is turned on it doesnt do anything until the key is turned on.They do make one that actually works to energise the ignition and start the veh both, its pretty pricey though

cleaned and went for a road test,ran and shifted nice, will have to firm up the shift but overall powerful engine with allot of torque, nice ride,need to finish up the inside and throttle pedal,went to the dmv ordered the plate should be on the road soon
|
Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Looks good...ride height in rear looks spot on...
|
Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Thanks Hemi I thought the back looked pretty good but was concerned about the front and was thinking about lowering it a bit. May just leave it be.
|
Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Thanks Pimpston I did actually run the engine for some time,it ran alittle ratty when first fired smelled of rotten fuel figured I would have to clean the injectors but it smoothed out and ran normal. I had shut it down and started about a week later and all was good. Did notice on the drive the trans shifted good kinda soft but I think that is normal, may just leave it be seems to down shift and pull pretty hard so really not a big deal, other than that so far so good will need to drive
