97 sas'sy Sierra/ 80 Cheep 10: tales of a phat block

[Bowtie85]

Well, finished up cab support/inner rocker/floor on drivers side.

Picked up my second shifter from Dean couple weeks ago.

Figured I should prob get at her again, got the twin stick pretty well done. Think I will end up getting a longer bolt/jam nut on the shifters, was hoping it would tighten up on the bushings I made. Guess not .

Also I did have to cut/bend the original 80 shifter, didnt wanna slice the nice chrome one up that badly

Pretty well a $20 mod for some 1" round tube I used to slip over the shift rails and a couple bolts.

Put a few hours in last night, got Deans carb swapped in, edelbrock throttle bracket in.

Topped up the trans and had it running today. Put it in drive and it started puking fluid out of the accumulator cover. The o ring must be pinched, guess that's next on the list to fix

Edit: Pulled er apart and the O ring was cocked off. Put it back together and its all good.

carb works okay ish, whole package needs some tuning yet. But for now its mobile again. Worry about the small details once I get the bigger issues dealt with.

If she really has no interest in that Pontiac I could find a spot for it at my place!
