Daverods project 66

[ruffrida2005]

probably should have ordered it from AVS. We got a new CNC at work other one was having some problems so we have to set it up and play with it.

Dave -where did you finally set your timing at with the new HEI? What is your plug gap setting ?

[daverod]

I set my plugs at 45. I think my timing is at 8. I was moving it around to see what it did. I was kinda amazed at how much I could move it and it would still run about the same. Let me know what you set yours at.

Got my brackets for my bags. Put everything together. Watched it go up and down and up and down. Need to hook up two more lines for my rear.

Be careful watching that up and down stuff.

Your just not kiddin. It pretty easy to forget that the frame hits the ground and smashes everything in its way.

I dont know what your problem is Dave, but I haven't see a pic of the front laying frame yet.

Pics of it didn't happen.

[daverod]

My front tires/wheels are to big. I have a 17" rim and the tire height is 30" they hit my cab. The tires on my 64 are only 27 " tall. If I stand on the cross member it's about 1" from the ground. Figured out why my upper arms where hitting the frame (post 1514). No shims. Need to get some 15" rims and different tires. Guess I'll pull my cab off and paint my frame next.

[watahyahknow]

seen photos of wat people did to there cabs to get 22 inch rims and tires to fit
they cut out the piece hitting the tire and weld in a piece of trailerfender , works quite good actually

[daverod]

I guess I better good measure some tire wheel combos. I was thinking I would do 18 or 20's.

[daverod]

Put my engine on my frame. Tested out the front bags. Everything worked good. Pulled the oil pan off my 64 and changed the gasket. What a pain in the butt.

Hey what it that blue oval doing parked in the driveway? Your garage is much to clean .. No wonder you get stuff done. I spend way to much time looking for the parts I just set down and now cant find..... Your Frame looks good laying down on the slab!

[daverod]

I knew someone would say somthing, Plan is to trade it for a s10 then put a 51 on it. Don't tell the wife it's hers and she doesnt know the plan.

Nice work daverod. Let's see some real progress now that the weather is getting nice.

[daverod]

I think real progress is linked more to money then it is to the weather. But it is nice to see summer. Least I get to drive my 64 .

[shrunken66stroker]

Good point. I guess I get a little lazy when it's "cold" outside. You know, down in the 50's.
Brrrr.

[ruffrida2005]

Hey Dave you need a s10 frame I got one, It's just the frame. you will have to come and pick it up though.

The frame looks good.

Thanks but I think the gas would kill the deal. You could bring it up here it though. Put it in the back of a 2 1/2 ton and tell them you need to do a road test. We use to go get fire wood that way till we rolled one off the side of the road. Told the CO someone hit us in the parking lot.

[ruffrida2005]

that's funny man. It's not that easy any more.

[daverod]

Ordered a trans cross member from brothers. Thinking about getting a quart of por15 for my frame? Don't know if I'm rich enough for the por15? Feeling kind broke this month.

[scotts62]

When you use the POR-15 make sure it's in a clean environment because it dries very show and will collect dirt. Especially in a dry climate. Where it's humid it dries faster. And mix it really good to get all the deposits from the bottom.
