well next time you do the ride let me know and we can do some thing with it

Hammerlane · May 02, 2009, 11:43:03 PM

It tis AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVE!!!

Yep, she breathed fire tonight..
worked on it most of the day, wired ignition and start all thru an oh sh** switch, pull the plug and ALL the electrical shuts down.
put a Holley on it.. motor did'nt want anything to do with it so I shot up town and got a brand new Edlebrock 600 cfm..
some other "needed" things.. rerouted the fuel thru the manual pump (guy that built it had the elec. fuel pump under the hood {pusher type})
I'll fix that later..
primed the motor (oil) with an old dist shaft and a drill (motor has'nt been fired since I bought it 5 yrs ago, I've never heard it run)
wired it up, had an issue with being off a tooth.. figured it out in a minute or so..
filled a beer bottle with gas (40 oz) dropped the fuel line in it (really, what else do you think I was gonna use)

had the wifey hit the switch and

and next thing ya know

Pi**ed Off neighbors

Runs GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEAT, strong and smooth.. tranny, rear end, L hub, fuel tank, seat belts, top amoung others yet to do..

Got the last of the major overhauls completed last night..
seals in the adapter for the tcase.. no more trans fluid in the tcase.
Ford 9" rebuild.. new bearings/seals (Thanks Tom)
cut off the brake backing plates and lost the drums..
rebuilt the front drive shaft and greased the whole thing..
took the kids for a spin or 2 around the yard and tested throttle response..
when the lil girl screamed louder than the motor I figured I was in good shape..

Oh' by the way.. notice the name change.. wonder what the wifey will think (p.s. she's a redhead too)
