Almost done, radiator needs installed, carb needs bolted on, and the fuel pump needs plumbed and thats it!

Looking good. I'm sure you're excited to fire it up

berencam · 07-28-2008, 11:17 PM

its alive!!!! just a bit more work and it will be on the road. I had a really nice vid i was going to put up of the engine after we got it to fire up but i forgot to save it. So all i have is the vid of it starting the first time. So enjoy and i should have another better one tomorrow.(oh and it was pretty windy so the audio quality sucks, its on my phone).

berencam · 07-29-2008, 10:05 PM

it moved under its own weight tonight, but only a couple feet. i just wanted to make sure the transmission works( and it did). i still need breaks done, and i need a oil dipstick that fits the new style block. anyone have one they would like to sell.

Hey Cory. Glad to hear it's finally runnning. I know you're excited. I installed a late model dip stick and tube on my engine. Bought from dealer and seems like it was less than $20. If your stick is on the drivers side you will need to ask for one for a van I think?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-03-2008, 01:48 PM

Sweet glad to see ya got the motor back together and fired up..

samwise68 · 08-03-2008, 04:28 PM

Glad to see you finally got it together and running man. I'm sure you excited to finally hit the road with an ol' truck again, eh?

Keep at it man, you're almost there.

-Sam.

cool to see it back up and running.

Good job on the build

berencam · 09-16-2008, 11:51 AM

thanks

im getting exited, i im getting damn close to driving it...

berencam · 04-04-2009, 11:17 AM

Havent updated this in a while, Im at a stopping point as i cant seem to get it adjusted perfectly. It will idle good, but under load it starts flooding(i think). I['m good at rebuilding but not fine tuning. If anyone is in my area i would be happy to pay you to help me get this thing tuned out.

i never added the vid i made of the truck driving on my build page, this vid has all the pics from my build and a vid at the end.

Good to see you have it going! Too bad you aren't closer... I'd help you on the carb FOC

Rippin-J · 04-30-2009, 10:54 PM

great thread, thanks for putting me onto it.

glad you were able to release some of that smoke from your back tires. I hear it's dangerous if you let it build up in there too long without smokin em out a bit!!!
