Default Yep, That Fender Is Still On The Ground ((06-15-22))

Ugh, but the good news is Scott is going to swing by and help me hang the fender tonight.







Fender is on and will need some more adjusting but it is close enough.

It is coming together, Marty! I am envious of your attention to detail. All the little things you're doing definitely will add up to a beautiful and reliable ride for sure!

I am taking notes on all your tips and tricks as well. I will be tackling the Vintage Air install and dash wiring on mine very soon.... Hopefully.

The Vintage Air install was fun and if you need to borrow the AC line crimper I loan it out for a small $25.00 donation to the charity I work with and the good part is you get a tax donation.

Default Looks like more of my ADD issue's are surfacing. (( 06-18-22 ))

I did something different this time before I started working on the car. I actually went for Taco's



My goal is to hide the Injector Harness as much as possible.





I used Tessa Tape at the harness plug

Default Power Master Alternator Is 165 amps enough for EFI (( 06-20-22 ))

So serious question is a 165 amp alternator enough for the Holley Terminator X EFI ?



Continuing with the Manifold install I cut the vacuum lines to length.

That is an awesome and great idea, Marty! I may have to take you up in your offer when I get back in mine.

I’ve been looking at the Rivnut tool at Harbor Freight. That would definitely prove useful for my shifter and Holley Terminator mounts.

Seeing your updates is great motivation!

Thank you Matt and the Rivnut tool from Harbor Freight works good not great. But if you are only doing a few then who cares.

On a side note I also rent out the Fender Roller and Back Spacing tool and all of the money get's donated to the Charity.

Default Slip Yolk Travel (( 07-16-22 ) Got a Question...Need Advice

Back out in the garage and back at it.



The guys at Pro-Tek Powder Coating did an incredible job on the Yolk. However he may have put a little bit to much powder coating on the shaft.





So I have question how much inward travel should I expect ??
