You guys are sooo close! Great seeing the three of you over the weekend. I think the HAMB as a whole will breath a sigh of relief when you guys get this truck fired!
Thanks, Megan. It's bound to happen. I think we've got a wiring issue. No power at the coil. I COULD hot wire it...but I won't. I'll fix it right. Out to try to do that now!!
You got it! At 12:34 PM EDT Monday March 9, 2009, SHE LIVES! Loud as hell and the clutch isn't right but at this point, who gives a rat's ***!! Film at 11.
Clutch is stuck, might be hung up, I'll pop it apart and see what I've got to do. We drove it by starting it in gear but we STILL DROVE IT!!
He gave me a hug so big it cracked some ribs. He had to go to FFA meeting tonight so I put the video on a stick and sent it with him. He's got a grin from here to next week! Now to get that clutch figured out!!!
Yeah, too bad that carb was a piece of ****! You got a spare thermostat housing? Ours is cracked and weeping.
yeah well that POS of a carb sounds better on his truck than it did on my 53 Im begining to think ive got a vacuum issue..I may have an old Therm Neck..but it dont come out straight I think it has a slight angle to it..still want it?
its an aluminum one off of an edelbrock performer intake..I aint going to use it..just like that carb i wasnt going to use...DOH!..lol come on over
That's about what we need. More **** you don't want to use! Now lets make this stupid clutch work. I think I've got a mixed bag of trix. Anybody put an NV3500 on an old SBC? And have it work?
you going to be out and about tomorrow? come on over , I think I have 2 of them ...no more non working carbs for you..(said like No SOUP FOR YOU!!)
Will see what I can do. Got to muck stalls to get ready for babies. Chey's going to love this year's crop. We've got bunnies and sheep now to go with the goats.

No were not bringing one home...No we have enough pets.. maybe some day I can get enjenjo over to see if I really have a carb issue or not .. Let me know when your in the area ..I'll get that Thermostat neck off for ya.

Hey Mark..if you got stuff he can use maybe we can work out a HAMB relay..I slide by your work every day around 4:35 or so..lemme know
He was nervous about turning the key. I checked the spark (after we replaced the module!) and saw we had it, put the wire back on the #1 and it popped once. Pumped the gas 2 times and hit the key again. She spit and coughed once, 2 more pumps and she was alive. Don't even need to pump it and she starts RIGHT NOW!! He's grinning in his sleep.
