Thanks, unfortunately this car has only been driven in 20-25 minute spurts. My general rule has been, if I can hear the beeping noise from the...
Hi All, it's been forever, been swamped and often gone with work for a long time with little free time however I just changed the oil in the 53'...
I happened to go surfing this morning and funny enough ran into that "convertible" truck I was talking about in my earlier post haha! [ATTACH]...
Haha. No. but. I took that truck to a drive in movie theatre with this cute blonde girl and the the battery drained after being in the truck for...
Hah no it doesn't make that beeping noise but it does not shift as smooth despite it also being a TH350. However, the bench seat appears to...
Thanks I can give that a try!
Thank you! That's a great suggestion and I can rattle can it after with maybe another similar green. In all honesty I get countless compliments...
Hmmm but I don't have the ability to do any metal work to it. I imagine if a shop did any work to that cab it would run in the couple thousand...
Yep, there are some thin areas and probably has been messed with before from what I saw. I could almost see some patch type pieces in some areas...
I saw an old ford truck at mission beach on Sunday with the entire roof cut off and just the frame around the windows and windshield on there....
Thanks! I figured that would be an option as well. I got it knowing it was just to experience what it's like to have one of those C-10s and have...
Thanks. Yea I bought it with a lot of that rust but I bought the truck mainly just to have fun with it a few years knowing I would dump it as is...
Hi All, It's been forever since I've logged on here much less posted (been super busy with work travel for the last several months). My C-10 has...
One of the questions id love to get advice on... assuming I have $14,500 into mine but could sell into for exactly that, would I likely need to...
Thanks i just sometimes wish it was chopped maybe 1 more inch to look a little edgier. Since I'm not willing to rechop I wonder if bags in the...
Thanks. Yea the previous owner put 54 grill and fenders which kind of make mad as I love the 53 grill/lights.
Hi All, It's been a while but here's another thread with dumb questions. I am trying to think about how to make a 53 like mine look more radical....
Thanks so much. I have a 5 psi rated pump but am going to get a regulator and put it out of sight somewhere just to rule out the pressure. I'll...
Thanks that makes sense regarding the fuel pressure delay stabilization when the flow goes into the bowl. I don't like the look of those...
Do you think this regulator is any good? I can plug one of the outlets. Not sure if I can install it closer to the fuel pump which is moutned...
Thanks, I have a 5psi pump but I guess I'll add a 5 psi regulator to the list.
Haven't been getting home early enough this week to drive it and check but I will do that regardless.
I talked with Edelbrock and the tech I spoke with said to get the 8723 half inch laminated wood spacer and use the four hole gaskets for the...
Will it be much peppier if I go with a wide open adaptor? Right now it feels ok for my driving needs and I just really cruise and I don't even...
Thanks! In fact I barely step hard on the pedal ever, occasionally when I feel a little frisky I will to feel the acceleration but mostly I...
Sorry to ask the same questions. I'm going to use a 1/16" thick Mr Gasket 56C for the intake to adaptor side. [ATTACH] I will use a heat...
Thanks, I can try that next time on the hot start. I typically don't touch the pedal at all on a hot start, only one pump on a cold start. I...
Thanks I will check that and yes the choke butterfly opens up fully when warm. I will spend some more time to get an accurate measurement of how...
True, but the insulating gasket is only $18 and may cure heat soak issues (assuming I have that).
Thanks it looks like it might be a 2697 adaptor. Do some people use a 1" phenolic spacer on top of an adaptor like the one I have? My preference...
