That dust boot looks like the one I should have tomorrow from Jeff. I think that one is slips over the end of the MC. Not sure, but it might work.

To me, your headers look just like the Flowtech ones.

We got snow here on Thursday night and Friday morning. I had 7 inches at my house. I do not know when we had that much before. It is rare in East Texas...Kids got out of school and work shut down, so we had some fun and threw snowballs too.

Alan, Just saw this in another thread...Look at post #416 in this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...200082&page=17

I looks like the same carb/fuel line you are using. Looks like his cleared that water outlet fitting...

Hope this helps you...

The angle of that boot is throwing me off. I ordered another from truckandcarshop.com among other things.

The snow was cool while it lasted.

Thanks for the link. I checked it out real quick at lunch. His water fitting is a long one. That would diffenately help. I'm going to check it out some more.

Fed-Up showed up today with some parts from Summitt.

Had to go see if the radiator would fit. It's sitting on a 3/4" piece of wood. It fits in the hole. I plan on using the 67-72 truck radiator saddles and top hold downs.

It fills the hole up really nice.

Didn't stay out there long. This is the temp inside the shop. ;)

:thumbs: It drives me crazy trying to figure out what to order.

Oh......I also ordered the coated Hooker Headers you recommended.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
Good you will really like the fit. Only thing I dont like is the left hooker is a little close to the oil filter

Alan glad to see you making progress. Love the new parts, can't wait to see how the 67-72 truck radiator saddles and hold downs turn out.

Alan is that the same radiator that we saw in the store? It looks like it fits really well.

Thanks Ronnie, it's supposed to be in the 60's this weekend. I'll try to make some progress, but still holding on some parts. Trying to locate some saddles. Sokyclassics.com is the best price so far $45.

Yes it is.

:metal: Really nice hardware, Alan.

Are you going to use an anode in that radiator, or is the aluminum going to be a problem with the engine's block material?

Good question, do you know something I should know. I know my camper has an anode rod in the hot water heater. I was going to run antifreeze safe for aluminum. Is that good enough? More info please.

Don't know, Kid. Talking out my butt - last custom aluminum radiator maker I had quote one for my 65' Tan truck said if I went that way I should put an anode (zink I think) where the normal radiator petcock is located, because of the difference in the materials.

Again, I'm guessing - maybe the special juice is enough (?)

Mac. :smoke:

Here you go, My Friend. May be hype - I don't know.

MacAttack 02-17-2010 02:23 PM

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
Another little bit of supposed information:

(When running an aluminum radiator or any aluminum parts in contact with the water jacket, make sure to run a sacrificial anode (usually zinc) to prevent the electro-displacement of the aluminum. This will save the aluminum parts, in short.)

Readiator looks good in there Alan.

Good catch Mac. I didn't know that. I guess I need to get one for mine.

Strodder 02-17-2010 04:53 PM

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
Allan it's looking great. Good info Mac. I never thought of that. We have an anode in our Toy Hauler's water heater. It wears out so check it periodicity.

nice work alan and thanks for the pictures:metal:.
And thanks Mac for the info.

Thanks for that info Mac that's good to know when I go to order mine.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
Thanks Guys for the comments. Thanks Mac for the heads up. I'll go read those links tonight I hope. Just a quick post here to let ya'll know about the headers. I'm going crazy. I believe alot of my problems, if not all are the CPP perches. I need the front tube to go up and back. I got my Hookers today and test fitted the left side. I couldn't even get a bolt started. I'm going to write CPPJeff and see if they recommend a certain header. Also do some searching.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSC02083.jpg

You can see the tube hitting the frame, but even if it didn't the perch would.
