Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Cleaned up/painted the tranny. Test fit/adjusted the new Lokar shifter so i don't have to do it when its in. Bolted tranny to motor....its going in tomorrow!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought a Gas Tank Carpet Kit and a Fiber Board Cover.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Adjusted the electric choke and dialed in the mixture screws. Found out they were not adjusted the same as recommended in the Holley manual and adjusted off a bit too.

Truck runs better, but still has a bit of a stumble when idling the truck down a street and trying to step on it. Not always there but it bugs me.

I may bump the timing back up as I have it at 12 and find it cranks way more before it starts, but up at 14-16 it fires right up. Used to be 20 and ran good.

removed the original Manual transmission mount. removed rusted drip rails from the cab, and removed some wheel locks from the wheels-without a key. Good pair of vise grips and a small sledge did the job

Drove it to deposit my check :-)

I made a gas cap. Well, I made it look a lil bit better. the gas cap i had was all chewed up and broken, so I decided to spruce it up a bit. I took an old glass door knob and drilled out the brass and threaded it to fit a bolt from the bolt bin. Then, i punched the guts out of the old cap. Jammed the knob into the cap and tightened the bolt down. Not super technical, but I think it looks cool.

A little bit of clean up and a bit of paint to help the rest of the under hood look the the engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally installed my stainless door sills and powdercoated door panels, also arm rests.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Those door sills look the same as what I installed in my truck this weekend.

was going to suggest timing...

bought a tach today...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's at 16 now, adjusted the idle mixture ( was not adjusted properly) and adjusted the electric choke. So far so good. Haven't had much time to "test" it much the last few days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished putting the motor and trans in it, drove it .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Had the oil Changed, 4 Tranny Leaks fixed, Rear Tranny Tailshaft Seal replaced,and the Carb Rebuilt. Next week it goes into the shop to have the Lokar Billet Aluminum Gas Pedal and Throttle Cable installed.
Hopefully over the Summer I'm having a Satin Black paint put on it,
as what it has right now, is just a Generic Bumper Coat with no UV protection. I take a Layer off of it, each time I wash itr.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

16, do you find it runs really good at 16, I have mine at 8 and had the same issues at you under throttle, little drop off, little pop then she goes. I went from 6 to 8 and it got better but still there. Many have suggested 13 or so, so I need to try that...

anyways, drove the truck today and my son who is about to get his permit drove the truck for the first time today.... after all it will be his ride for high school :metal: His grin was worth every minute of it, even know he made me nervous. LOL . Then came home and finished touching up the wheel wells with black paint..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hmm pulled the 350 crate motor out of the '72 Blazer. Just need to finish tearing apart my '72 Sierra and take the 402 BBC out of it and then put it in the Blazer :D

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

The truck originally was at 20 and ran pretty good other than that stumble. So now that the mixture and choke are adjusted, 16 is pretty good. I may go to 14 but I may also leave it like this once I can get a good test drive in.

Slowly getting the 69 GMC K/1500 tore apart to get it down to a bare frame then replace back half of frame and fix everything thats wrong and get it painted and ready for my 72 Cab and the bed and front end and 327 out of my 67. It's amazing what you can come up with when you have alot of parts and no money!
