Re: 69 cst-10

I am in love with your truck. I am doing someting very similar with my 91 chevy. BIG BLOCKS ALL THE WAY!!! I built up a forged 496 and am working on aquiring a 6-71 blower for it. I had to backhalf the truck, but now that it's finished I wish I would've done that watts link. It looks amazing installed! Keep it up dude, get some vids of it runing!

Re: 69 cst-10

Got my fuel system on order, should be here this weekend if not Monday. Will be spending my Sun-Wed off installing it. I love Summit brand stuff, i saved almost $80 getting Summit over Earls/Russels tubes and hardware. Got a Mallory Pump. Have a few other small suspension things coming and my Rad mounting brackets. I have a 31X19 alum 2row 1in and it will not work with stock mounts so i had to order some brackets. I may need to get a pusher fan becase it will be a tight fit, will see once mounted.

I've got that same base chest, only in black. Really nice unit. Mine's overflowing with crap and the guides don't show the slightest sign of wear.

Re: 69 cst-10

got the majority of the fuel system run today as well as some pieces made up to smooth the firewall. Have a 40 micron prefilter before the pump, i wil have a 10 micron filter pre carb... I used an 1/8in x 3in flat stock bolted to the pump and used some left over carb gasket between it and the frame so it should quiet down any viberations. the pump is about 3/4 in below the tank.

How was it working with painless wiring? I may go the same route.

Re: 69 cst-10

88F*** i like the painless. It is east to install, good directions, and has lots of extra circuits/wires for whatever you need, pwr windows/locks..ECT.... I am slacking on it atm due to the holiday and a few things that i am going back over to fix/reroute but i like it. A few more parts (fittings/gauges) and it will be running shortly.

Re: 69 cst-10

I got the firewall tacked in a bit more and i love the look of the bare metal and the tacks. I do not want to completely weld it up and was thinking of just clearing over the are metal and the welds. It looks pretty mean like that and flat black. May just grind down the tacks and clear it.....

I got a Autozone Gold battery with 1000 CA 850CCA and bumped the engine over for the first time in a year and 3-4 months. I only rotated the crank 3 rotations and about a 1/4 turn at a time. I found one cylinder #6 with some light moisture in it. not rust but that light red sweat. Once fired up next week i think it will clear it out.

I have 3inches between my water pump pulley and rad... dont think i can get a clutch fan in there so ill have to go with an electric one.

Re: 69 cst-10

Got the fuel system finished. I need to find a brace or new mounting position for the pre carb filter. Have the Radiator finished but do have some worries about the lower tube. Had to get a flex tube hose for it because of my alternator mount. Also got my LFD pedel and Lokar cable installed. A 24 inch cabel is a bit long. Any suggestions on the Lower Radiator hose?

Re: 69 cst-10

I got a few gauges installed, still waiting on some dash stuff but got to test the circuits with a 6amp charger and a ground light. Then i hooked up the battery and ran a half gallon thru the system. just did not have any pressure showing on the gauge but it was pushing a lot of fuel through. Hope to fire it up in the next few days.

Re: 69 cst-10

Any suggestions on the Lower Radiator hose?

have a qualified aluminum welder remover the hose connection from the radiator and re-clock it to the left or cut and weld it straight on the radiator. this is what I had to do on my project.

I think that we have the very same Lokar accelerator cable set up. The Lokar stuff is made to be shortened. At least that is what I did to take up some of the "slack" or excess lenght in the cable. Should be instructions included with the cable or check Lokar's website for how to shorten accelerator cable....

Looks very good so far. I am building almost the same setup for mine.

Good luck, keep up the updates...

Re: 69 cst-10

for the lower rad hose, i got a shorter alternator belt and moved it in. plenty of clearence now. The engine has not had a timing light on yet and it starts up first shot and idles. Idle is a bit high but not bad.
