May have too.

What's a running 22r with 120psi across all 4 cylinders worth? Thinking about swapping to a sbc350.

 

[pappy]

It's worth a rebuild.

 

[the gimpey one]

I know but if i go thru with my idea i am going to need the extra power.

 

[KLF]

It's worth a rebuild.

"there is a 3RZ in my future"

Seems like I read this somewhere...

A tired carb'd 22R really isn't worth much.

If you are still in Pickens, you arent to far from us! We are in Seneca. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help! One of my current personal projects is this 91 pickup!

Steve and i know each other very well.

 

[the gimpey one]

Houston we have a problem.

 

[the gimpey one]

Ok gots a mystery. Idles fine at 2k but not much lower. I assumed it was vacuum leak. Just went thru a bottle of carb cleaner spraying any and everything to no avail. Should i replace plugs and rotor/cap and try again?

 

[the gimpey one]

I have not replaced them since bringing it comes by the way.

 

[the gimpey one]

How do you check a egr valve?

 

[KLF]

There's a diagnostic procedure in the FSM. You need a vacuum source, I use a MitiVac tool.

 

[the gimpey one]

Found a video on YouTube that said to use a vacuum pump to test if valve will hold vacuum.....

 

[the gimpey one]

Is this the egr?
If so checked ok. Might be a moot point though.

 

[the gimpey one]

Ok where does this vacuum line suppose to hook up?

Also have a open port on passenger side wheel well?

 

[the gimpey one]

Found missing hose for #2. Will idle at 1400 or so but dies otherwise. Going to tune it up next. Also going to have to treat the gas tank. Full of rust.

 

[the gimpey one]

Played around with the truck this morning. Will start like a champ but dies after idling about 3 minutes or so. Could the choke be bad?

 

[the gimpey one]

I haven't done a lot to the truck lately. I start it up every other week or so and let it run for a couple minutes. I definitely have to either get the tank treated or replace it. Anyone running an aftermarket tank? I am thinking it would cost about the same to treat the current tank than change it to an aftermarket from summit etc.
Purrs like a kitten as long as I run fuel from any other fuel source other than the stock tank. Full of rust...

 

[the gimpey one]

Stuffed a mini basketball in the dent. Popped most of the dent right out. Very close to having the door ready to shut.

 

[the gimpey one]

Got the door to close but takes some force. For some reason the bottom hinge binds up. Going to have yo locate another. I didn't quite get the cab straight so I put some washers behind the striker plate as spacers. Ghetto as hell but hey I'm building a wheeler
