im using bj73 steering wheel (which includes tilt function) and intermediate shaft to the 80 box. the intermediate is collapsuble and will be reducednin length to suit.

So I am about to embark on connecting the front and back axles to my non abs 80 break master. Last time I tried flaring I had poor results so this time I looked up a recommended Eastwood flaring tool.

$180!

I think that I will try to find the one I used before or buy another $40 one because I probably threw the other out due to my incompetence. I will need a bender as well. I figure I will just practice until I can get it.
Any suggestions on favored tools I am all ears

Correct me if I am wrong
45*
double flare
3/16



I have been geeking on Jmacks work and so now I will practice!

Just get the Eastwood bender and then here in a little while you can buy the 37* die set and you’ll never have to worry about making flares again.

Get what you pay for! And you can let ya Buds borrow it and maybe offset the Caching a little

Using quality line makes a huge difference on doing the flares, I’ve just used the cheapo roll of line before and had terrible results...

So I got the Eastwood bending kit on the way. Definitely in my price range!

Rush55, you mentioned the 37* flare. I thought the cruisers use 45* flare, 3/16, double flare.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Thinking that I will buy tube already set up. I just need a straight run to the back axle and then some shenanigans to get to the master.
It would be cooler to make them myself tho.

 

[RUSH55]

The 37* would be for fuel lines. Then you can run JIC or -AN fittings.

That’s further down or up on my project! Can’t wait!

Any lines you might suggest?

I know that it doesn’t look like fj55 kit, but eventually it will!

Just love it when it’s all clean and shiny!

 

[RUSH55]

Red calipers???
Been thinking about what color for the calipers lately!
Kids said black. I say silver.

 

[xtiaan2000]

I might get crazy down the road and paint them another color to match the overall paint scheme. If Im cool maybe match the engine as well.

NO, I will eventually get this project done!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Pablo Pink!

 

[Ol Yeller]

silver.

Yep

 

[scrapdaddy]

Fun facts...

 

[xtiaan2000]

Thats the kind of beta I need!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Wow! I let myself get all the way back to page 5!

Well got something that has gotten me sooooo excited!

I am back into it. Really never left it but this is really crazy for me! Once again into the unknown.

Cant tell a lie. I ordered it and when it arrived I wondered from what ocean they had found it. Maybe an anchor for a mooring off of Nantucket.

After tearing some things off I realized that maybe I could get it back to looking like a new engine.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Here’s my list
What ya’ll think. Shine this or that? Have I missed something?

New hi flow water pump
Green machine alternator
Green machine starter
Hi pressure/ remote steering pump
Take heads to a machinist to ck
Camero oil pan for more clearance
New timing chain
Bead Blast the various mounts
Power steering
AC bracket
Valve covers
Timing chain cover.

My dream is to make this thing functioning killer as well as looking sexy!
