Re: 1952 Project 1433

Not much to udpate on the truck. After hitting a set back last week I've had to take a little bit of a side step then I wanted.

I still dont have the distributor installed because I didnt have a harmonic balancer bolt to find TDC. So I went and bought one and found out the threads are stripped in the crank. After speaking with my mechanic cousin he said the only solution is to helicoil it. So after doing alot of searching I should have the kit tomorrow or wednesday.

Part of yesterday was spent getting ready to rip the front end off the truck to get the helicoil rethread done. I got all the wiring organized and I hope to remove the front all in one piece. I've see people do it but not sure quite where to unblot everything so I look to your guidance people with instructions.

Anyway on with the pictures.



Installed new battery terminals and cleaned out the battery box. What type and size of batteries you guys running because I need a new battery?



Hooked up the fuel line with the new fitting adapter to the carb.



Removed rad.
