I just spent a grip on the ignition system. a pro billet msd,msd digital 7 plus , hv2 coil,and moroso ultra 40 wires. as soon as it arrives, i will plumb up the magnastar 500 fuel system and wire the ignition up. I think i should be making noise around the 18th on may and we post a video on here for you guyz to enjoy. thanks all

Hey AK;
Where are you going to mount the digital 7 box? Ive got the same unit and found a thread on the pro-touring site where they mount it inside the glove box. They use a glove box liner made out of sheet aluminum thats open on both ends for ventilation... thinking that direction for my Jimmy.
Also, have you decided on aluminum tubing or braided line to run from your fuel pump to your pressure regulator and from regulator (return bypass) to tank?
thnx, Tom

AKoldstyle · 05-12-2010, 10:40 PM

Im going to make a removable mounting plate up under dash, since i have nothing behind it. My pump has a bypass in the pump fixture next to the outlet, and I will be running parker 301LT #10 black hydraulic hose up to the regulator in the engine bay. I also fabricated a 37 gallon aluminum cell and will mount it in the rear of tub behind the cage on the floor. My math says this should give me a 190 mile range. I plan on driving the 45 miles to the track,racing,and driving home !!! lol at least thats the plan

darkhorse970 · 05-14-2010, 06:37 AM

VERY NICE Blazer! Amazing transformation that you have made with it.

**Tom Vogel** · 05-14-2010, 10:05 AM

All the tracks here are NHRA... Ive always thought of IHRA as an east coast thing. Anyway, I can see your truck is well thought out.
As for mine... no threads or pics really. I took hundreds during disasymbly out of neccesity. Now that Im reassymbling I just dont seem to have time. Im self employed which means I work long hours. So... when I get some guilt free time to work on the truck... thats all Im thinking about. I dont mean to be selfish, but I just want to hear this thing make noise again for a change. Im busy with all the tedious stuff anyway and I think probably nobody would find wiring and plumbing all that interesting anyway. I think I spend more time staring at it and thinking rather than wrenching

. That would explain why its taking me so long.
I have been going to the digs since 1965 when I was in the 5th grade... so mine is geared that direction. However, its mainly a street vehicle, not a race car. Yours obviously is mainly a digs car... right?
It sure would be great to see them side by side though, because its funny how close our thinking is really. Mines a stick car though... Ive always liked rowing my own.

AKoldstyle · 05-14-2010, 10:43 PM

I work 4 weeks on and then have 2 weeks off and thats the only way ive been able 2 work so much on it over the last year and a half. I do plan on driving mine a fair amount,but yes racing is a primary goal. It will burn pump gas,no trans brake,3.90 gears and 3200 stall. I will be plumbing and wiring mine starting tuesday and cant wait to hear it roar !!!! I agree it would be cool 2 line them up together. I do like seeing clean wiring and plumbing thats well thought out.

AKoldstyle · 05-23-2010, 05:49 AM

Man i forgot how much time it takes to make your wiring from scratch and to route everything properley. lol Its starting to come together now though

AKoldstyle · 05-23-2010, 05:54 AM

Nice!

bobshotrodblazer · 06-01-2010, 03:40 PM

That blazer is bad azz..are you going to drive on the street?

AKoldstyle · 06-01-2010, 10:26 PM

yep im gonna drive it around and race it

**Tom Vogel** · 06-02-2010, 08:42 AM

Engine of course sounds Awesome... heh,heh,heh. Wont it be fun to cruise some parking lots to set the car alarms off?

On another note... Wow... that fuel pump is loud too. Where and how do you have it mounted?
Mine is the Product Engineering race unit that Procharger recomended. Its Huge. Im mounting it underneath on rubber bushings that came with it on a bracket attached to the frame right behind the fuel tank.
Hopefully startup time is coming soon. Ive got all the parts, just not much spare time.

AKoldstyle · 07-09-2010, 02:50 AM

OK so i got the truck finished at 2:30 a.m. sunday morning and made it through my tech inspection at 10 a.m. that morning. Thanks to the weather I only made one pass. I ran 12.2 at 102.6 , i spun the tire for 150ft and my 60 ft time was 1.7, I only ran it at 5000 rpms through each gear and let off before the finish line. Well at least it held together,and I was really quite pissed about driving threw the mud and water to get to staging lines. Only in alaska.Well today I loaded the truck up and had my friends at denali detail wax it up. next up the august first car show. wish me luck !! and everyone good luck and gods speed with there projects

-Greg72 · 07-09-2010, 07:37 AM

I love this truck.

It's nice to see a fast truck that actually looks nice too....so many guys will ignore one for the other, but this one is the complete package.

Obviously, you're still in the shakedown phase (motor break-in, suspension tuning, etc) but do you have a gut feeling about the kind of numbers it will eventually run? Any goals in mind?

I'm sure everyone would love to see a video clip next time you run it down the track!!
