Thanx man! Sucks I can't drive it today with the weather sucking so bad.
I bought a Uni-syn (carburetor synchronizer tool) but I won't be getting that in the mail anytime soon since Oklahoma's turning into the north...
Got my smithy's and lakes on today. Sounds B.A.! Just can't get it to idle right just yet. My oil pressure pounds are at 35 which is normal but...
Alright! Its loud as hell right now with the open headers. I got that beast running, I just need to dial the carbs in a little. Hopefully...
Alright, so I finished the headers and intake a whole lot easier than last time since I used pieces of a pipe that I cut to fit in the intake...
Once I get it running and out of the garage. I gotta clean it up a bit as well but I'll put the whole finished product up as soon as I get it done.
Yesss! Finally I got the stuff back on after a lot of grinding the headers and the intake. Everything seems to fit snuggggg and right. OK, so I...
Here's a vote.
Walrus, you and I spoke too soon about lady luck. While I was outside grinding the headers, my little girl pours water right on my laptop...
Short note today: I'm grinding the snot out of the headers until the Offy sits right. I'll update this tonight. LOL! OH Yeah, Lady lucks a...
Na its an Offy intake. I ran into some leakage because I need to grind the fentons a little and ran back in linkage problems. The gas pedal is...
Son of a bitch! I feel like a retard on a door knob! Yep, so I got off early from work today and figured I get a jump on my project and start...
The weekend is over and I'm still trying to figure out what the hell the hose leading from the header that did end up going to the air filter on...
The weekend finally came and I was determined to make it right. I went to Auto Zone and picked up some steel fuel line had it all figured out...
Well, I moved to the fuel line after finding the right fittings for all the hoses I needed to hook back up. I had some old rubber and steal fuel...
Alright! The carbs are on and now lets install the linkage and get this puppy barking! Bahahahah! Yeah right! After flipping the throttle rod...
During the whole installation of the carbs I went to the net and the HAMB to research the reason for the carb spacers. I didn't see any reason to...
I installed the carbs and long and behold the two of the bolts were too short and had to go hunting for the right size. Lowes, Home depot, Ace,...
I had to figure out how to get three pieces on that seemed they had to go on at the same time and heres were the bruised knuckles and cursing came...
After all that the car would not start! I couldn't believe it! I couldn't figure it out to save my life. I even waited a couple of days...
I started with the Fenton headers first. My big idea wast to keep the original single intake on and just install the split exhaust headers so...
I'm still a newbie working with old cars but the love is old. So here's a documentation of my project for the other newbies and whom ever wants...
[IMG] Almost there and I'll have this thing back on the road styling and profiling! I can't wait to get back on H3.
[IMG] It was pretty fun doing all the bends. Next time I'm gonna do something crazy with the line. Almost there just a few things left and I...
