Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Got a little more done on Friday and Saturday. I modified one of the striker plates from my Altman easy latch kit.The other side should go quicker. Once modified, I will repaint them. I created a small bracket for the throttle cable. Happy with how it turned out. I threw on my air cleaner to see what the finished product will look like. Waiting on some fuel rail brackets that should show next week then I can finalize my fuel supply all the way up the the throttle body.

On Friday I got my injectors back from being cleaned and the screens and O-rings changed. I learned the hard way on my 48 that injectors get gummed up when sitting. This can complicate the trouble shooting process on the first start up. They provide you with readouts of before and after too see how the injectors are working. I had one that was not working at all but after several back flushes they got it firing. So that was $$ well spent.

Lastly on Saturday my sound deadening material showed up so I got busy installing that.....

tomorrow I will sand blast and rebuild one door hinge
