How do you like the PipeMaster needle template. I've seen them but never used one. Easy as they say?

Yeah ok, just got em they seem to do the trick for odd corners. Time will tell !
I'm a sucker for new tools ya know..

Not much for now; try'd it in driveway for flex and was a tad too hard so might have to take a spring out to get it right.
Will drive it first, then i have to take care of the front shackle angle. My Howell TBI system needs to be fine tuned and it should be good to go for awhile.

THEN THE 60 !!!!!!

Well, I haven't posted much in my 40 thread for awhile. She's still alive and running like a top ! But with time stuff needs updating.
Time to update my saginaw steering system, one pulley, LH altenator to a two pulley system and move the alt to the RH side to give more bite to the belts. Over time they have been slipping and pretty much wore through the pulleys.

Also time to take care of a few others like to much water getting on the belts. Thanks to Mud I now know about the two pulley and RH alt brkt fix...So, here we go..

Wasn't sure if the impact would get it done, but it worked..

Gotta love have'n the right tools !!

I have been getting a lot of grief from people for collecting old, rusty junk they said ! Well, I know now that no cruiser is EVER junk !
There will alway be some gold in there parts !!

 

[pistonpete]

Coming along... Prepped some parts, modified Alt brkt to fit my GM 1 wire....

Time for some mock up while waiting for a new seal and speedy sleeve as the double pulley was a bit worn by the old seal,

Should give a lot more bite on the pulleys now with the two belt setup. THANKS MUD !!!
