Thanks Capt. One less worry.

A screw came out of my metering block inside my carb today. Truck died. Had to run a red light and coasted into a gas station. Well, about 50' from the station. I had to push it the rest of the way. I guy helped me the last ten feet. Did'nt have my phone. Walked home. About a mile. Went back took the carb off brought it home and fixed it went back and got my truck. My legs and back are killin me. Factory referb. Get what you pay for I guess. Set both floats runs even better. Set my timing to 0. See how that works. Tomorrow well give it another try. All that and still got 6 hours of real work done.

My wife and I. One of my old dog and a dead bear. Oh ya and one of you frezzing your a$$ off.

[Alan's Classic]

The guy in the camo looks scary..............no I guess it was just cold.

[daverod]

Must have forgot your liner.

[Alan's Classic]

Yes, I did.

[daverod]

Truck ran like poop at timing set at o. Set it to 10 runs good. I don't get it. The book says o. It seems to run better the further I advance it. It's off the scale.

[daverod]

Changed my vac to full manifold insted of ported see if that helps things out. Test drive tomorrow.

[bubba327]

How much play is in the new chinese distributor shaft? how much does the timing change at total advance? at rpm?
Bummer about the carb troubles, I Hate walking!!

[protrash64]

If you get it too far advanced it will start heating up the exhaust. I did that on a 350 a long time ago and it melted all the plug wires; realized I had full advance all the time.

[daverod]

Nice to know

I hate walking too. Thats why I have a horse. He never breaks down. My timing gun is'nt very good so I can tell how much it advances. Right now I have it set at the last notch on the scale, runs good. Is snowed today so I did'nt get to take it out. I wanted to see what the changing the vac to full vac did. I bet its better.

Beat out this nasty dent in my bedside. A few months ago I would have told you it could'nt be done. I just beat on it a little every day. Almost done. How much room do I need for front bags? Do I have to mod. my stock arms or will they fit in there. I've seen people mod. them just want to make sure I have too. Broke down and ordered a new fuel tank sender. Almost bought another 66. Guy wanted 400 it was a rust bucket had good sides though. Wanted to make a speedcult rat truck out of it. Still might buy it. I'd have to hide it from the old lady though. Pretty sure I have to do somthing like the lastr two pictures to get my air bags in there. I just need to know how deep to make the pockets?

[protrash64]

Room for your bags depends on the type. I'm assuming you mean diameter. I used the Slam bags re7 + re8 because they do not expand as they collapse. My front bags sit on a cup that I removed 3/8's of an inch. I would assume again that they would have to be modded somehow to allow for the diameter of the bag.

[protrash64]

all the pics werent on yet!!!!

Guess I'll get my bags then mod.

[ruffrida2005]

Lots of people running the dom 2600 and the slam RE7's say they can get away with a 8" cup.

[daverod]

Think I should get the kit or just the bags? I'm getting the stuff from SD.

[daverod]

I'm liking this inner fender ides. I don't know what your going to do about running 48" Paul. Maybe just 48" in the rear and 20's up front. What are you thinking about your inner fenders?

[ruffrida2005]

Dude just buy the bags and build your own cups. I'm not going to run inner fenders for awhile, but I've thought about doing that same Idea and sheetmetaling it in.

[daverod]

Got me some bags.Ebay 109 free shipping Dom 2600.
