Re: 72 k20

Here’s a few shots I took back behind my house near San Juan Generating station. I’ve also got some plans for the coming week, as I will be off for several days before the fourth. I plan to get my heater functional, door panels, handles, and arm rests installed, I got the metal inlet line for the edelbrock 1406 to be able to run a solid line from the pump to the carb, Im thinking I’ll run this in stainless. I just need to decide how I want to get from inverted flare at the pump to 3/8 stainless. It’s possible to flare stainless but not easy. I’ll also probably run a metal inline filter up near the carb. I’ve also got an issue with my fuel gauge I need to inspect. I’m thinking it may need either the resistor on the gauge or the sending unit replaced. It only goes as high as bout half way between 1/4 and 1/2 tank. Once the fuel level comes down below half it seems to
Move with the level but won’t go any higher than just below 1/2 tank. I’m sure I’ll find some more things to occupy my time but these are the projects I’m shooting to get done. I fixed the leaking passenger axle flange last night and also swapped a new set of tires on it that I had stashed away. They are mounted on 90’s steel wheels for now eventually I’ll get around to swapping them onto the original nub wheels. 265/75/16 fills the wells up nicely. So far I’m about 600 miles on it and no reliability issues at all. It starts right up and runs pretty good going down the road. I’ve got no complaints so far. Still lots to do but no complaints.
