Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build - Page 20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RockTonka · 01-21-2014, 02:10 AM

Well, we chased down some Manley 3/8" .080 wall 4130 push rods, new longer ARP studs, new guide plates, and some stainless roller rockers for the burb. Got it all buttoned up except for stabbing the dist., (trashed one of the o-rings) and hooking up a few lines.
Hope to fire it up tomorrow and see what it feels like with all 8 cylinders...

piratexpress1369a · 01-21-2014, 11:08 AM

wow that is a quick fix.got my fingers crossed for a good start up

RockTonka · 01-21-2014, 07:53 PM

Got it up and running again. MSD Ignition, roller rockers, and all 8 cylinders running made a pretty big difference!! Damnedest thing!!

earl84 · 01-21-2014, 08:03 PM

Dang, you guys don't screw around, do you? Glad you have all 8 cylinders working for you now.

piratexpress1369a · 01-21-2014, 08:34 PM

great job on getting it running again

mud.man.rj · 01-21-2014, 09:18 PM

Ya, congrat's on getting it up and running again, glad it worked out, any spare video on it running, looks so pretty under that hood, oops no hood, engine bay then.

oklahomaduner · 01-21-2014, 09:23 PM

I kinda like the whole hoodless thing..

likaroc13 · 01-21-2014, 10:05 PM

Glad you guys got it back up & running, hopefully with no damage to speak of. I agree, a video/sound clip would be nice!

My boy and I can both get OCD about things...we had to get it working and see how it would run!

We've been looking for a first gen for a long time and while not a barn find, per se, this one has been in the same family w/ 3 different owners from 67 till 91 when it was parked with a blown AC compressor...been sitting for the last 23 years! Supposedly under a tarp most of that time, last year or two not though. It'll be out of the weather from here on out though!
We're psyched, gonna build this out for the wife to enjoy.
