The Holley 500 is an easy swap. If I can do it anyone can. You will need to get an adapter to bolt it in. I'll try to post some pics a little later.

creep · 11-09-2009, 07:20 PM

You can see more about it in my thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=354432

sams60gmc · 11-09-2009, 08:49 PM

Pulled the beds off the trailer flipped them over on a pallet and collected the money for one of them. Put them away and sprayed the bolts with rust penetrating stuff so I can pull the planks off later this week.

**scotts62** · 11-09-2009, 10:06 PM

Got the fuel pump changed, put new drive line in and fired up my 92 Xcab

Rusteeze64GB · 11-10-2009, 12:39 AM

rearranged some of the pins on my engine harness and hooked the battery up to see if I could get her to turn. She turns over nicely. I need to get some new head lights and bulbs so I can check to make sure everything works.

sams60gmc · 11-10-2009, 08:29 PM

Layed upder it for a while. Tried to figure out other ways to shorten the frame. Think I got carried away because the new plans are chopping it off behind the cab and fabbing up a new backhalf with C notches and bags.

Alan's Classic · 11-10-2009, 08:39 PM

Dreamed it was done.

I'm with you Alan..........Think I'll go back to sleep

Nice work Isaac. I'm really liking the 63 cab look. The knee knockers scared me away.

Lookin good.

**scotts62** · 11-11-2009, 12:22 AM

Cool pics 63deluxfleet! i like this one the best

AZ Chev Man · 11-11-2009, 01:33 AM

Rebuilt Carb

Took it for a test drive

Cussed at it as it coasted though my driveway as it wont start again....

bubba327 · 11-11-2009, 01:51 AM

Mounted the transmission cooler and cooler lines. Then tried to make the kick-down cable reach and wished I could get it connected to the existing carb on the Inline six... Anybody have a turbo 350 behind a six cylinder and stock one barrel carb???
PLEASE send me a PM with how you hooked up the detent kick-down cable!!

**DPowers** · 11-11-2009, 10:44 PM

Completed my carb linkage, put my driveshaft together and started it up- just to hear it run.

I have the same set up and can't get mine to reach. I'm still working on a solution.

AZ Chev Man · 11-11-2009, 10:52 PM

replaced accelerator pump and it started and got me to a job and back home, still runs bad...bypass fuel pump with electric fuel pump to make sure it was not the problem....IT wasn't

originalJD · 11-12-2009, 12:53 AM

I put a new starter in today. I'm alittle scared though. I might have torqued the bolts just a little too much. So far it's workin great.

Is your filter clogged???

70 Suburban · 11-12-2009, 11:45 AM

check for a vaccume leak.... try starting fluid rpms raise or wd40 rpms drop around the base of the carb and around the intake.

Tx, did you get it installed? Any issues?

Tx Firefighter · 11-13-2009, 08:15 AM

I took an extra day to clean it up and paint it. I installed it yesterday. Today will finish hooking it all up, detail wiring and such.

rgCarGuy · 11-13-2009, 10:26 AM

My ebay truck came in the middle of the night!

jbgroby · 11-13-2009, 10:43 AM

Gee Virginia there is a SANTA CLAUSE!

**ChiefRocka** · 11-13-2009, 10:49 AM

Went down to the DMV...and finally registered my truck....

The frickin 'Governator' took $226 of my hard earned money for that thing !!

And the tag is only good untill FEB !!

Man the lady at the counter real had a hard time...this truck came with the DMV paper all printed up from the guy.

However the OG owner donated to charity, then this guy bought it (owns a lot), then I got it.

So the pink was signed 3 times, we had 3 transfer forms....it had her going crazy !!

Now, I just got it get it running !!

So far...that little truck in my avatar has cost me $600 + $226 = $826
