Summer Of The Pig

[nuclearlemon]

here is the back passenger corner, it is not finished but i thought i'd put it up

just out of curiosity, when you cleaned all that up, was there a bunch of bondo there? i've found three cruisers with a bunch of filler on their rear pillars.

just out of curiosity, when you cleaned all that up, was there a bunch of bondo there? i've found three cruisers with a bunch of filler on their rear pillars.

no bondo anywhere, i had one red door that was layers upon layers of paint. but no bondo.

rain gutter is clean, front driver side floor has some rust through, rockers are shot, and passenger front fender has a hole.

i think you might have been the one that told me about the rockers being shot, i tried to find the post but couldn't.

one thing i did find when i was wire grinding the gutters.

there is some kind of body filler that i have ground out of the gutter, and i was thinking i should refill it with something.

would do you think, fiberglass, bondo? it looked oem but i don't know.




edit: of course this is not the gutter ground out, it is the stuff before i got started good.

 

[nuclearlemon]

the stuff in the gutter is seam sealer. available at napa, or any auto paint store. there's also some between the aprons and the front fenders. probably in other places too, but i haven't noticed.

i'll have to go to tulsa or okc and see if i can find that, thanks

 

[amos715]

ok i know i am suppose to get the fsm. and i just can't remember to make the call during business hours.

and i know this is approaching king of bum-dum but i think i have a semi electronic ignition (i didn't even know there was such a thing)

i found my distributor, but couldn't find any points.

here is a pic of what i have.




this is what i found on sor when i was looking for the right part to order. (cause i thought i needed to order points)



i have never hooked something like this up, my old '62 dodge and '75 power wagon had points.

 

[amos715]

and my next question.

i was putting this fuse thingy (i know) back together.

i have two wires to hook back up and three available slots, by the wear on the fuse panel all three spots had something screwed to them.

any ideas

 

[fj404life]

To get to the points yank the red thingy (rotor) off. Then pull off the metal disc. There are your points.
No help on the fuse...I hate electrical.

 

[amos715]

ooohhhhh..

thanks

edit: points look brand new.

 

[cruiserbrett]

I cant tell colors from the pic of the fuse block, but if you look at the right side, you will see that there are two groups of three fuses. One set is hot all the time, the other is ignition hot.

Connection of the loose wires depends on what circuit they are for, and whether the top or bottom group of three fuses is always hot.

things like wiper, heater, blinkers, etc are ignition hot.

headlights, hazards, brake lights, are constant hot.

that makes sense -

do you know if its the top block or bottom block that is ignition hot?

edit: two loose wires that should go to the fuse panel.

wire one is one wire a red one with a black stripe
wire two is two wires both blue with one connector

sorry i should have put wire color with first post

 

[amos715]

well -

i picked up a coil, and i have to find the clutch slave rod, i should be able to crank this thing next week.

and maybe by the end of the week have it "oklahoma" road legal.

 

[amos715]

check it -

found this on here, huge beautiful schematic



edit: sorry i probably should give credit where credit is due

i was digging through parts, and i don't know if this belongs to an old mower, or the pig.

thanks it is the only one i could find, i quess i need to get a new one.

i now have a working clutch, working brakes, coil is mounted.

i also need to find the throttle cable, i thought that would be a no brainer, but i have two cables that do nothing, they may be rusted up and one of them is the throttle.

 

[cruiserbrett]

I would recommend a new throttle cable, SOR.com has them for cheap.

and i have what i think is an electric choke? there is a black wire with yellow stripe, looks like the perfect size to bolt to coil with the black/yellow wire there?

any idea?

Probably fuel cut-off solenoid.

I don't remember what year your Pig and engine are, but they were manual choke for quite a while...

thanks pablo

i have went through the fsm, for chasis and engine and i can not figure out a hand full of items.

first



does the hose that leaves the side of the block by the distributor attach here?

 

[amos715]

also i don't think i have a brake booster check valve.

if i can pick one up where does the other end of that hose go?
