Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

You guys! AC hose installation can be checked off the list. Fingers crossed that when we put a vacuum to it I won't have any leaks. I'm waiting on a trinary switch from vintage air for the electric fans to come on with pressure. I was hoping to send a signal to the ecm to let it know the a.c. was on but the gen4 ls's run the a.c. off a different module. Also modified a sbc spark plug wire stand to use the ls heater hose retainer. I need to hit the junkyard for the "missing" heater hose retainer on my daily now

Nice job on the compressor. I’ll be doing the same low factory mount. I’m collecting wrecked car hose ends so maybe I’ll end up with something I can use.
Funny you said that Clay. I did scrounge the junkyards and found a couple fittings that almost worked for the low mount off some gen3 suburbans. If i had easy access to a tig or the knowledge to even use one I could have made them work. After all the time I had messing with those I could have walked the coldhose.com and back You are welcome to all the left over LS a.c. parts I have

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

I just now got back to your thread. Oops.
I may take you up on your offer with those fittings. We have a nice TIG at work that I could play around with. I need the practice.
The truck is looking great. Maybe all this snow will clear out so you can get some driving in.

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

Got some time to rebuild the rear differential week with my friend that specializes in 4x4 axles and parts. New carrier, 3:73 ring & pinion, master bearing kit and crush sleeve eliminator. I learned a whole bunch on the process and boy was it nice to work standing up instead of off my back. l thought I had 373's before but it was a 308 Parts of a broke clutch pack was washed up in between the pinion bearings. That would explain the weird feeling the truck had before. Just have to wait for sunnier weather to go do the proper break in runs:metal

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

That 67 is such a cool truck.
Its a great time for some old iron driving. The gas is cheap and the weather is going to be great all next week. I'll be putting some miles on the Caddy for sure.

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

My dad escaped quantine and made it up the the shop over the weekend. We had a blast working on his and my truck. Upper and lower trim is hanging. Then we de-chromed his engine with some genuine gm goodies.

Thanks Clay, if you make it up north in the caddy or what ever you might be driving hit me up. This week may be a good one to do the rear end break in

Re: Bonnie 1971 SWB LSX

Figured it's time for an update on this old girl. Been building another truck and neglecting her so the transmission started acting up. Pulled it to get rebuild. A buddy in another shop close to mine went through it with some fancy parts and I ordered a new torque converter from circle d. It had some messed up clutches, sheared teeth and turns out a spring in the tcc valve was crushed and no longer springy. We did a tcc valve update and had to hone out the bore in the valve body. Putting it back in soon then test and tune
