What about drilling two small holes on the shelf of the ps pump bracket ? the manifold bosses idea was first thought aas well.

Got it out for a spin and it ran and stops great

This morning I cranked it and checked the timing again then idled it up to 700 and got another idle check. This thing just purred at 500 rpm. So smooth

Second set of Terrain Tamer parabolics. First set on a 40.

Man they ride good. Stance is perfect and no lean.

The only bummer so far is that the prior owner genius use a 3 turn lock to lock Saginaw box versus the preferred 4.5 turn lock to lock and it is very touchy at speed. Matt will have to get used to it unless he wants to swap that out one day.



Also, I put a 74+ temp sensor in and the gauge and it are not talking. I have a new OEM sensor for this year I'll swap in in a bit

The gauge is parking itself at the H so I am 99% sure its working. Once it gets power it goes below temp.

Post a pic of the air cleaner bracket after you modify it, that sounds healthy at 500 idle.

Yes dear

 

[peesalot]

Please. My bad.

Got the proper sending unit in the block and it seems to be talking to the gauge.

We went with a bracket off the bracket

Then he made a bracket for the air cleaner

Painted up and bolted in

Other than a hose going from the valve cover to the air cleaner this thing is done. Now to drive it a bit

Had a nice test drive. Temp sensor is working now.

Did a nice loop and finished it off with a speed run. This 3 turn box is twitchy at speed. That's all I wanted.

That guy is a master wizard. Nice build I love the tires. Do the headers get hotter than a stock manifold?

I don't think they do. I pretty much use headers on all of my builds since the manifolds are all getting so old.
