Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Cool build. 21 degrees, not bad, we were near single digits here the last few nights. Besides, you live in WINTERS.

Yes I know it is "Winters" but still this is California is it not! The worst part is I have a 1200sq ft shop with a fire place and two propain heaters and yet I am working out in the driveway!
Well I think I will be doing plug wires tomarrow, what do you think? The header gaskets are in and it sounds better but they are still cr@p headers. I found a leak in the radiator, it looks like somthing was bumped into it and caused a hole in a fin. I still need to time it and check the advance on the HEI. What should this timming be set at? It has been so long since I have worked on a carbed motor:o How do you like the seats (2005 Tahoe):c2: Also parts that were tossed in with the deal. Has anyone used these for front seats? Well their is now another 6.5hrs in this truck for a total 9 hours of work and 5 hours for pick up and off loading (both trucks and parts). Kevin LFD Inc Total $226.20 and 14hrs |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I think that HEI ran best @ 12'ish on mine. Almost off the scale but hey "whatever it takes"///

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I've had hei's run great anywhere between 8 and 12 degrees just depends on the engine
also i've been told there is a difference for altitude but that could be just a rumor.:crazy: I always start at 8 and work from there Frank |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well just like we all know too well the $ are starting to add up. I went to time this thing today and the HEI's advance is all coroded and froze solid. I shopped around for a new one and the best one I found for the money was thru summit (sum-85000R1 for $85.88) w/handling it was 96.83 to my door. I also needed new wires and the best value I found for 8m wires w/90* plug ends for my headers was from Napa for $34.31 (part# 7002.44). This adds a total of $131.14 to our build. If I was not trying to keep this a low buck build I would have gone with DUI's HEI for about $255. but the one from summit will work just fine for my needs.

Free parts to good home These parts are not for sale and I do not want any money offers. I am doing this to try and help out board members that can not afford some parts they might need. If I find out anyone is wanting a part so they can resell it to ANYONE the deal is off and I will scrap it all. I am trying to do a good thing here so don't screw it up for everyone else. Ok do not PM me for any parts! List it here on the board so no one can feel they were side tracked or skipped over. Also I do not want to ship any of this stuff so if you are first in line but need it shipped and guy #27 wants the part and will pick it up in a timely manor it is his first! #2 chevy tailgate not good at all but no visable rust, just bowed and dented. #3 69-72 rear sliding window, dirst but slides and locks easily. #4 69-70 grill (yr?) out side is toast but he eag crate is good with only one missing fin. All the attachments are good. #6 67 small back window Good glass #7 67 glove box door (327 on tag) Kevin LFD Inc. |
