I’m going to go carb on my 53 Packard Clipper Deluxe Sportster. You can’t reproduce that classic look with EFI.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

The fuel system is finished! We modified the universal 0-30 ohm sender and included it in the tank.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Sender, lines and ground finished
Overall with finished fuel tank
we pulled the clutch, so we could remove the compressor from the old bracket and mount it on Orson

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

Excellent progress! I can't wait to see a shot of the finished wiring, all tucked into place. How many hours do you figure you guys have invested in just the wiring?

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

I’d say 20-25,but I’m not charging for this since I bought a harness that didn’t fit.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

1. The problem, the tensioner pulley was to big and left no room for the hose
2. I solved it by going from a 3.5” pulley to a 3”.
3. The belt fitted correctly
4. we also did some more wire covering

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

oh shoot, that'll be a good seat. i like how the middle actually totally folds down vs an insert. more of buckets with a console vs a bench with an armrest.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.

That’s exactly the reason it was chosen, that and the width. These trucks will fit a 55” seat, this one’s 53”
