My first ever engine swap.....!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[MANUCHAO]

Elbert, thanks...
Im using a rad from Downey.. they built it with both spouts on the pass side... the rad is a Lincoln Mark VIII fan...its supposed to give out 4500+ CFM we'll see...!!

Randy... when you say I could but it would not be playing by the rules.. you mean "them" guys from emissions" would have an issue with it uh !!!

I'll get a chubby canister I guess..... dang it !!!
Dont give her any ideas about the whip eh !!

Thanks Dylan I thought I ask !!

Im lucky..........I gotta a chick that digs LC's.....more than I do...... I think !!!!!!

FIS... still working on my ECM.... !!! I wonder ????

 

[iaintscared1969]

YES Sir that would be correct...And as I hear it you seem to like the whip!

Let's see some more low budget cruiser porn!

 

[MANUCHAO]

ok guys got lots done last saturday and finish the knuckle job ....as everyone stated.. it was messy but rather simple..... Since I had been waiting on FIS to sent back the harness I got bored and decided to bite the bullet on a rear 4+ bumper... I like it a lot !!!
I was able to get the front drive shaft without any adapters
Here are some pics...

test fitting the bike rack with the single speed (rosita)

 

[MANUCHAO]

gotta lots done with the piping and electrical... got the harness back from FIS and got it installed with some grinding and some drilling.

TAC module is shown above and will try to fit the DBW pedal this week...
Here are some pics of the tranny lines.
I also replaced the Master Cylinder and upgraded to the 4 runner brakes....

 

[MANUCHAO]

will try to get it fired up by next weekend.. !!!

 

[MANUCHAO]

Randy question for yah....
My harness has this two wires for the evap canister.. and I dont know where they go since the canister I got has no electric connection.. the purge valve is already plugged into the harness.. so Im at a loss with this two wires.....Am I missing some kind of connector or plug ?

 

[philos1]

nice work Frank!

 

[iaintscared1969]

LOOKING GREAT FRANK!!! Fire it up already! I believe you have a different purge canister that what came on the truck shouldn't affect anything till you get it sorted out.

 

[MANUCHAO]

Thanks guys..

Randy thanks for taking the time... I know you been busy eh !!!
I went through the trouble of getting the OME canister and just check with the dealership today to see about the 3rd (yeah there is 3 vacuum ports on the canister) right side goes to tank middle goes to purge valve and the left goes to the fuel tank evap control (solenoid)....wich I dont know if that is where the two electrical wires plug to..
Here is a picture its item #8 GM PART # 19152349 acdelco 214-2082



At any rate, thanks for the advice I wont worry about it till after its running...

Cheers !!

Frank, is waiting for the flame and lighting bolt paint job before he fires it up. Then he is going to move to Texas and marry his cousin.

[iaintscared1969]

Hey I know a guy in Texas that does those paint schemes! Hey that ain't funny...The cousin part that is? Unless she's hot.

 

[MANUCHAO]

Too funny eh.........
moving to Texas....hot cousin...naaaaah pass !!!

Peter, I took the hard brake line to Hoseman and they dont do hardlines due to liability reasons.. ( load of crap I say !!)
Instead he gave me flex lines and promised it would be just a tad long----er...
It should work but looks ridiculously long.
I want a hard line, problem is that they took the hard line and split it..
Where did you go to get it done.... I'll go there....

Hi Frank.

Good research those two wires go to part #8 “evap canister purge valve solenoid”
It should be installed near the canister. Lucky for me I was able to use the existing vent plumbing off my fj62. But I did run new wires to the solenoid. Nice clean job on your install.

[MANUCHAO]

Thanks Ferd69..
Thanks for the confirmation...
know where I can get a slightly used evap canister purge valve solenoid ??
I know I could find one off of a wreck yard.....problem is I dont know of any chevy wreck yards.
Dyno stated there is one in Sunland but I havent checked it out yet....

Laters,

Frank

Hello Frank

I'll try calling the guy I bought mine from. The last time I called him he didn't return my call so we will see if he calls back.
