Re: Project Old Colorado

It lives! Finally chased down all the little items and fired it up last night. The new RV cam from 12 bolt (Howards Cam) required the engine to be immediately run up to 2500 rpms for ten minutes then allowed to cool, then repeated. Went off without a hitch and the sniper EFI ran well. Still need to do a little fine-tuning on the timing and throttle but I hope to run it around the neighborhood sometime this next week. Added a 90-ohm fuel gauge from ebay from an early 70's chevy big truck and it bolted right in (Chevrolet GMC FFC Truck Gas Gauge GM 6431426). Well worth the 35.00 to have a near-factory-looking gauge that works. I might change the face of the gauge to remove the E and F marks as it's already printed on the warning gauge plastic. More pictures to follow.
