Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Yep I can say it is real too!! it is not a hologram or a figment of anyone's imagination it is real you can touch it but I wouldn't if I were you. You might loose a finger or two if Alan is close enough.

One really beautiful truck and the pictures don't do it justice, it looks awesome in person.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

I'm not going to quote everyone, but I do want to say thanks to everyone for all the comments, votes and support. I really appriciate everything. Lets keep it going.

Still tinkering with the timing. I swapped out the dizzy springs last night. I got to run it today and they are too light. The advance starts coming in around 730 rpm. Which kicks the idle up to 880. I will swap out to the next heavier spring.

Also noticed the temp gauge gets to 3/4 and the fan kicks on then cools to 1/2 gauge. While running down the road and at the end of a 15 mile trip the temp is at 3/4 gauge.

I've always heard that an electric will block the air moving while going down the road. I might install a toggle temporarily to check this theory. If that is the case I can cut some relives in the shroud so air can bypass the electric fan. I see those reliefs on late model cars.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

i had the same problem when i installed my fan and shroud it would run warmer going down the road than when idling, i removed the shroud and it reversed so when i go back together with mine it will have a few reliefs cut in it. and by the way, it looks as though you have the totm wrapped up, congrats

Thanks you Sir!! The fat lady hasn't sang yet.

When I cut the reliefs I'd like to put a flap over them so when I'm stopped they close with the vacumm from the fan.
