I didn't sandblast mine though, just sanded down the wood. Any idea what brand/model? I've enjoyed reading your build thread. I like seeing how it's done overseas. :metal: Keep up the good work. Mine http://www.ilsiciliano.net/truck/DSC01194.jpg |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Can you post a picture of TDC and the rotor showing where it is sitting, or at 0, and where #1 is on the dist. housing? It might help.

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Steve hope all is good Figured I would chime in here I would imagine you got most of your questions answered but headers are a real pain if you don't get the right ones and keeping the bolts tight are another thing also. Do you ever go to Summitracing.com, they have a few choices for the header bolts, the alien head s are good but they also sell bolts with a 12 point head and other locking type bolts. Hope this helps.
http://www.summitracing.com/search?S...header%20bolts The stock headers are also a pain on my 95 K2500 we had to use a pry bar to get the holes to align. Here are a couple of pix of the cermac coated headers I bought from Summit http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6...0/DSC00830.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6...0/DSC00831.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6...0/IMG_0224.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6...0/IMG_0225.jpg |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Your timing mark may not be accurate. Mine was way off. I could never find TDC using all the tricks on the forums like a piece of cotton or finger or a chop stick.
so I got one of these. Amazon.com: Innovative Products of America 7880... makes it so easy I could do it!! Cool build! |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Just googled "Header Bouten" (Bouten are Bolts in Dutch) and look what I found:)
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-WOLU4WDK.jpg So we do sell them in the Netherlands, but for now I'll stick with the allen bolts and TDC (which is called BDP in Dutch...Bovenste Dode Punt) finders we have as well! never occurred to me to look for that: http://www.speciaalgereedschap.nl/re...ull/BDP-14.JPG |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I was back working on the wiring and discovered that my 3 year old son helped me with color coding the wiring diagram
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-4MHQMGGB.jpg and can anybody tell me the purpose of the 8 black wire in the middle? http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-TPMB3RAA.jpg last question; does anybody agree that the position of my indicator arm looks odd? http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-LEXOVAZW-1.jpg |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I believe that's the converter for if you put in a later style steering column.
And it looks like that is the case with yours. |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Yeah!! got my new front window in today (sorry for the lousy picture)
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-KZATJ6RQ.jpg and thanks to all your help I'm and going to attack the wiring this weekend and finally make some progress I'll be off for two weeks with no reason to come online so: :tim: I'm signing off, Happy holidays and don't drink and drive. see y'all in January! |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
So back from the holiday's, hope y'all had great days with family and friends.
Poland had no snow, so no white xmas this year :( but driving back from Wroclaw to Berlin the roads where empty, so I could do 450 miles in just under 5 hours. (yes indeed almost a 100MPH average, thanks to lack of police in Poland and no speedlimit on the German Interstate) went to work on the truck yesterday and didn't feel like attacking the wiring, so I decided to change the ignition lock cylinder. I discovered that the previous owner had bought new door and ignition locks going through a box with miscelanious parts. having no idea how to change it I turned to google and ended up at this great movie on Youtube:you gotta love youtube! didn't get much more done, my mate was there working on his '69 Charger, so it was all talk and no show :) |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
I have another thread going only for the wiring stuff: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...82#post6465482
and as I describe there, we got the wiring figured out! I didn't get everything hooked up yet, but atleast I now know where everything should go. (I couldn't figure out the ignition switch and gauge cluster wiring) hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow to get is mocked up and see if everything works, the I'll cust the wires to length and tidy them up. and then...I'll still have plenty to do :) |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Another month has passed since I posted in this thread. I got some good tips in my other one regarding the wiring, so thats'all figured out!
I also had a thread regarding the wiring of the propane tanks and the mixer and although I didn't get any responds I worked it out, so I felt it was about time to test it! filled up the engine and tranny with oil, put some water in it and guess what? check the video!! https://vimeo.com/86941619 http://www.sourballpython.com/blog/w...0/ItsAlive.jpg |

Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Got some more work done on the wiring, put in the wires for the dome and cargi light. I also bought some electrical plugs so I can shorten some of the EZ wires and a power splitter. it looks small, but is 5"s long, so I have see where it will fit. But I'll use it as a central point from where I can draw either battery power or ignition power.
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-WY47J3QT.jpg Then I tried to splice a wire. I found a how-to in youtube which looked easy enough..but as you can tell from the pictures, I had a hard time and need more practice :) first attempt: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-SO3PVYHV.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-6JS6RULL.jpg second attempt: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-MH7DGLZN.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-M3FTOB3U.jpg Gawd..I can't look at these pictures without laughing, I need help :) to my defence, the solder wasn't clean, so it sputtered to much (don't know if that's the correct term?) But I must say, besides the way it looks..it sure is strong. I'm here on the next picture pulling at the wire with my full 175 pounds http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-VO3BIBXB.jpg |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
wanted a change from the wiring, so I took my heater apart. Now I can't remember whether it was working in the first place, but if I put a feed to the connector and a ground to the body, the damn thing should start spinning right?
http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-JBLVU3EF.jpg Also my top waterhose started leaking after I had fired up the engine last weekend, so I took it off; *Shock and Awe* http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto550-LLZ34CLH.jpg what is that? |
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up
Steve that looks like some kind of corrosion did you flush your radiator?
|
Re: 1969 Custom/10 clean up

:dohh: OMG..I can't believe I forgot to do that...you're right because I just unbolted it, disconnected the hoses, emptied it and that was it. is there a special fluid you should flush it with? (hope that's not a dumb question) now the cooling lines in the engine can get clogged right.. |
