Yeah I left a message several days ago and have t heard back yet. I’m not in a huge hurry. I’ll give him some time. Thanks for all the reply’s everyone.
I am interested in the smoky mountain 4” suspension but can’t confirm he’s still in business. Anyone here have experience with this suspension or with TPI? I have left message and email with no reply yet.
Maybe a dumb question but why can’t you bore a 74 block to use 2F pistons with the f.5 connecting rods? I have a 9/74 I’m building and hoping I can salvage the engine without a full rebuild.
What are your thoughts on using something like this as a replacement. It’s a Toyota forklift 50A unit that’s internally regulated. Looks like it would fit. $130.
Progress is slow but progress is being made got the timing cover and front seal done, painted about half the block, replaced some old heli-coils in the head. Will finish the engine paint and reseal next weekend. Had to work on everything from toilets to my wife’s sequoia and the Honda 300 these...
Is the knuckle still assembled? You’re probably pushing it past the axle seal and into the housing if so. I don’t think you’re going to see grease coming from the knuckle balls. Needs a proper knuckle service.
Yeah that was still using jumper cables. I was trying to avoid taking the battery out of my 80. After this video I pulled the battery and hooked it up with proper leads and it turns over much better. Not sure my oil pump is doing its thing though. That’s the next thing to verify before I fire it...
Ok. Can’t figure out how to imbed a video but the engine ran today. First start in 20 years. As soon as I dropped the pertronix in the dizzy she fired right up. This girl wants a second chance at life!
