Project 78 High Sierra

[JRANGER]

yeah i just did this with stuff laying around so it was easy

[JRANGER]

Woohooo!!! Been having some electrical problems with my headlights, turn signal, and so on for a while and i finally think i figured it out....Found a lose ground on the passenger side......Yup that will do it...lol Now i just need to fix the hazards

[77ChevySharkBite]

[JRANGER]

Haha yup thats my plan too!! I actually did some tunning of the carb now that I have a vacuum gauge...Just wish I had a tach so i could know where its idling...Damn idle screw is basically backed all the way out...This learning stuff is rough lol

[77ChevySharkBite]

Lol I feel you bro trust me, I'm just hoping I'm just a semi guru after its all done and can do this stuff while looking at it like it's back of my hand, does all your gauges work?

[JRANGER]

Yeah, All my gauges do work...The only one thats questionable is the fuel gauge because its a bit jumpy.....So im left wondering sometimes...

Just no tach in the truck

[77ChevySharkBite]

Mine does it too whenever my gas starts getting low kind of mind boggling actually but I still have my readings so I'm not too concerned lol be careful with putting a tach because that was a little bit of my issue with mine, my cousin that's a mechanic suggested me to not use it at all, just a little bit to think about I'm tempted to plug it back up but I don't want to get back to square one with my motor not running again

[JRANGER]

O im not going to put a tach in i just need to get a tach to test from the engine bay...lol

[77ChevySharkBite]

Lol oh okay yeah I'm going to want to get mine looked at too sound like it was fine I don't know enough about carbs to start trying to even tweak with it lol

[JRANGER]

HAHA! I dont know anything about them but I read about adjusting them so thats what i did...Just not sure where its idling

[77ChevySharkBite]

Oo I see, yeah it seems like it's fine but yet again I really can't say yes or no just yet because I just got it running again, and it has open headers right now so don't want to run it too much and throw a valve or cylinder

[JRANGER]

i hear that

[THE "10" SILVERADO]

Adjustments arent to hard but as long as the engine doesnt die you shouldnt worry abut your idle. Heck ive heard the saying "the cheapest lope is just turning the idle down". Sharkbite, you shouldnt have a problem running open headers...id only worry if there wasnt any exhaust hooked up to move the temps away from the engine bay

Im about tog o nuts...Its bogging down badly so i dunno whats going on

[JRANGER]

Got a little bit done today....


Started removing the paint off the fenders and also painted the inside of the one Rust-oleum gloss black..... Trying to decided if I need to do more welding and flap disc the weld holes or use a little bondo to smooth out the small weld spots from the trim

[cubber]

Man, the inside of that one looks brand new!

[77ChevySharkBite]

Very very nice looks sweeet!!! I'm about to tear mine down some soon

^^^what he said, I love mine!

[JRANGER]

Yeah,...Ive been thinking about that and mounting it on the column but ive heard them causing issues to....

[cubber]

I can show you how to hook it up.

[JRANGER]

awesome

[cubber]

I had no idea how to hook mine up, but there were some instructions I looked at, but they weren't real clear. I was at a buddy's house who is a mechanic and I converted my truck to HEI and hooked up the tach, and just asked him any questions. It was simple, I just get a little nervous sometimes when it comes to wiring lol.

[JRANGER]

yeah i understand that....Im just learning everything from the ground up so Im always weary of doing things....lol

[Rusbuilt]

Suck it up boys you just have to get in there and get it done!!! lol

Btw Jeff that fender is looking great!
