Thanks 88 Stanger.
I may have a line on new 200R4 sheet-metal torque converter dust covers. I'll find out for sure Monday. Nobody has those.
Wiring up the engine compartment now.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

That carb mount engine installation tool works great for a one man show, am I correct...

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

I think so. You have to mount the lift arm super close to the tool for it to work without removing the hood.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Be sure to share if you find something.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

May not look like I've done mush but it's tedious work. Yesterday and today.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Looks really good...tedious is right getting all the looms how you want them!

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Is that Fi-Tech i see? I have the Blow thru kit, 600hp. i had it for my motor previously then decided to go with LS - this was in my 1969 C10.
But for the 1966 C10 i rebuilt my 383 motor and added some goodies and going to run the fi-tech on it. I have a mechanic buddy who is a die hard fi-tech guy so i have a good helping hand if i need it.

Street Demon.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Nice! I would venture to say inspiring. Perhaps you could share details on your ignition system?

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

40,000V Coil, Small Body HEI. Nothing fancy.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Oh ok, i see now. It was hard to tell from the pic, looks just like my fi-tech. The Demon should work great, i like them.

Motor work looks fantastic sir! very nice work... Give me inspiration to get my butt in gear and get mine done.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Looking good, what valve covers are you running?

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

I think there from CFR? Chrome Aluminum Finned.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Okay, I worked for two days trying to get the TV Cable/Bracket geometry correct for the Extreme Automatics 200R4. I was finally successful and it is repeatable. I had an old bracket from the cruise control to work with. I don't think I'll be removing it to get it plated or powder-coated. :) I must have gotten under that truck checking the plunger depth thirty times today. All the while remembering my old Chief saying "you gonna let this Sh%t kick your a$%?"
Looks like hammered cat sh#t but it works.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Looks fine, but I would take it off to at least rattle can it. If you leave it alone, it will rust and look worse against all your polished & chrome goodies..

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

My plan is to get in there with a Testors paint brush in the morning.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Happy to see you check plunger depth, its not a fun ordeal, but you should enjoy the outcome......nice build....

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Thank you.
It's kind of a requirement according to Extreme. I do understand why though.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Okay you shamed me into it. This AM I went in and removed the bracket, trimmed it up then wire wheeled it and painted it. Replacing the fasteners with stainless button heads. News at 11. :)

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

There ya go!! Way to not let that thing beat you, or give in to peer pressure... lol Looks good!!

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Got the trans dust cover pan in today. There was an ear on the starter side that needed to be flattened down, not sure why it was there. One of the holes elongated when installing. Not a perfect piece but then again, there is nothing else out there for the 200-4R. Off to the powder coater it went with the PML Trans Pan. So the Oil Pan Dust Cover and Trans Pan will match.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Got the distributor ends of the plug wires terminated.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

What's the 411 on the Demon set-up? Are they square bore or spread? Any other specifics?

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

Square bore, so the right intake pattern is used. - https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...eet/parts/1900

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
 

More work today, still working on the details but you get the idea.
