I won't be learning on this one. It has to be farmed out since the crawl is 10 days away and I am swamped with work and buying new house. I could just keep putting fluid in it.

You can that.

Rear brakes mostly don't work on old cruisers anyway.

You can that.

Rear brakes mostly don't work on old cruisers anyway.

Even when adjusted and working correctly the rear brakes only provide about 30% of the total effort. The good and bad of older Cruiser drum brakes is that there are two wheel cylinders per wheel. This set up makes them hard to adjust properly and also makes them work quite well when set up right. I would not recommend replacing rear drum brakes that are in working order with a disc set up but if your system has issues the cost to repair the stock system can be used to upgrade to a disc set up.

Sorry, $135. I looked at the parts on Cruiser Corps

Wheel cylinders? Buy from Rock Auto. Probably half that price, or less.

Ok so another bump in the road to starting the engine: no igniter or resistor to be found anywhere in my stack-o-stuff.

A little research tells me oem stuff here is rare and expensive. Anybody got any experience with the Pertronix stuff?

Lots of questions today.


What mounts here? I'm assuming something to do with power steering, if my truck had been equipped?

And what the hell are these two items?


All this stuff was in a box when I bought the truck.

Charcoal canister? Wiper motor?

 

[southff4]

The motor is for the windshield wiper I think.

 

[ntsaint]

Thx. Def the windshield wiper motor.

Other piece has to be the charcoal canister. Since I know zero about how this is hooked up, will set it aside until I start working with the gas tank, fuel lines, etc.

Thx for the quick replies and for putting up with my serious lack of knowledge.

Can anybody take pics of their oil pan skid plate and their belly skid plate.

Thanks!

 

[MEMCruiser]

Here is the one I'm trying to install.

 

[southff4]

I would, but I am at work with no 40. Is that a skid plate that was on eBay?

Yes. After reading closer on mud it said if you can't cut this or modify it don't buy it..... I am an idiot. Lol.

 

[southff4]

Is it not lining up with the old bolt holes? Looks like it lines up. Hate to tell you but my IPOR lined up perfect

Anyone have a vortec using an H41 with AA bellhousing? I can't figure out where to put any additional motor mounts...its way too tipy with just the two on the block.
