What seats are those?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looks like Kirkeys to me

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Yup they are.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

They are Kirkey's! They are just a padded aluminum seat but they hold you in real well!

I am at a loss with my junk it actually ran pretty decent off and on today! My problem (whatever it is) comes and goes!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Are you running a crank trigger? make sure it is the correct polarity and that the wires do not run with(touch) any other wires. I also had a fan motor going south that effected the crank trigger. Did you "phase" the dizzy? check to make sure the rotor is pointing at #1 at TDC

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It does have a trigger and it is phazed and the wiring has not changed since last year. The only thing different is I'm using 16 volt batteries! We thought we may have had a bad pickup so I borrowed one the wires match up color to color!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

How did the fuel pressure turn out?

16 volt and fuel pressure just turned on a light bulb upstairs! Might be over running the regulator.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Good point....

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

You aren't the only one who thought that voltage might have been a problem but my regulator has a -10 supply and a -10 return line! It was running good again tonight with the 16 volt but for the heck of it I swapped to a 12 volt it still ran good then the gremlins returned! I'm confused!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

have you tried another known good carb?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I did try a new dominator but it did not have progressive secondaries so it was really strange!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Cooper and I talked a while ago. Next time it acts a fool throw the timing light on it. Maybe the MSD is bouncing the retard on.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Hey Big Jimzlll
did you buy those headers ready to install or did you build them yourself?

Hard to find big tube headers for our trucks , found some weld up stuff that they say I can make fit but I will probably need a few extra bends also.

Very cool ride.

keith

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

The hedders on my truck are hooker super competition for a malibu. I had to modify a couple of tubes but I have a fat man front end!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

The headers on there now are custom made, the ones I had on it at first I made from a Stahl A arm kit.
Both are over the fram styles

These are the Stahl ones I made

And these are the ones I bought made for the truck
I'm using these now

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

My junk still has the factory front end ( at least for now) .
Just finished the backhalf all Moser with a ladder bar set up and looking to put in a 567 profiler bbc and a better glide so gonna need a good sized header tube. I guess with a little patience I can probably build a set or modify an existing set.
I really like the over the frame look, be it helps keep the starter cool.:cool:

Thanks Guys

Keith

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Nice Rig....Looks fast as He!! just sitting there!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Nice work guy's. I love drag trucks, seeing all this gives me the motivation to start on my blazer.

Keep the updates coming.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Jim what does your truck weigh? That frontend looks light. Do you still have trailing arms?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Kevin, It weighs 3200lb...and I don't know how to make any lighter...except a glass cab and doors.
The bedsides weigh about 35lbs each..the fenders weigh 20lbs each..hood weighs 35lbs. I put a lexan windsheid in...not much weight savings there.
The doors are real heavy...guess I'll get the plasma cutter out...lol

I have 36" long double adjustable ladder bars.
I ran 4 9.93's in a row on friday night. That was spinning bad in 1st gear...but atleast it spins consistantly...lol

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Jim
Is that 3200 going down the track? I haven't weighed mine this year but I have some stuff to add to it anyway. I hope to be between 3000 and 3100 going down the track when its all together!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Jim is that 9.93 on the motor or the spray?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I don't have spray..I just sold all my N20 junk..cause I was tempted to use it...lol
No it's 3470 going down the track...

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

D@mn I thought mine was heavy last year at 3300 going down the track!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

yea....I am going to attack the doors/windows in the coming weeks.
Whats up with yours? figure out the mystery clich?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Not yet I have not had much time to work on it but I am fixin to go add some grounds!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

you got that junk runnin yet? i'm ready for another ride .

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Well mine weighs about 4298 going down the track, think if i take the ashtray out that will help any?:rolleyes:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

D@mn 71 did you take anything off that pig?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

As much as I'm prepared at this time I guess. It has all the stock steel and chrome trim, the roll bar didn't help thats for sure! Plus full exhaust power steering the ususal culprets. Oh well i get a good reaction from people when i tell them what it weighs and then what it runs.;)

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

well i guess weight isnt everything eh?:rolleyes:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

This thread is gettin stale. How about an update? :drama:

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

My junk has gone a best of 9.82 at 136 in 3800DA...just installed a plate stop and I'm going to try some Super Street.
Installing a dig 7 ignition,mechanical vacuum pump and a new Pro Systems dominator in the coming weeks.
Looking for an enclosed 26' trailer...on da cheap...

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I am trying another camshaft as we speak!


Big Jim do you have a cargo mate plant anywhere near you? I might be able to get you a super sweet deal on a new one!
