Whats the thread on the nipple? The head on my scuba i think is 3/8 female npt. Cant remember though
 
Beadlocks are 100% done. My arm is sore from torqeing all the bolts and nuts down. I could barely hold up the steering box to get it mounted. I think I have the lines hooked up right, and I should have the tabs welded to the tie rod, and axle tomorrow. I should have the engine wiring finished tomorrow, and with any luck will fire her up for the first time in almost a year :) I just have to install a few hangers for the exhaust.


Completely exhaust night yall
 
awesome progress Jess... I need a CO2 tank!
 
didn't start it yesterday. Hopefully today. Way to much wiring to sort and clean up.

Painted the bezel purple. haha there is a lot of purple on this thing now.

It lives!!!

Fired 2nd crank!

Yes I know I have a bad exhaust leak. But this is the first fire



Need to get a larger oil filter, since I deleted the oil cooler, as mine is leaking like a siv. Any suggestions I currently have a wix 5106 I think

Larger? I use a Napa gold 1061...they fit SBC and BBC's
 
Got the oil filter thing resolved. there was a dimple in the o ring. Snagged another oring of the old filer. Finished mounting the tank with straps. Finished the removable panels for the top and sides of the tank. Got my timing set at 3 degrees advanced. Need to replace the vacuum modulator on the 350 as its leaking like a siv. Its getting closer and closer to getting out of the barn.


Once it moves on its own, then I can start and finish the trailer.
 
Almost finished my hydro assist last night. Just need to finish painting the diff cover and tie rod. Funny I spent more money on the psc ram with the tabs to make it easy, and ended up making custom mounts on the flatback 60 cover. :doah::doah: Just worked out better and I wouldn't be welding to cast.

Wow dropped to the second page. It is sad, and shows about how much time I have had. All this house stuff leaves me with zero free time. But I did get the hydro assist finished, and bleed last night. Works like a charm. Just need to tighten everything up and finish bleeding the brakes. I found out I was missing a copper washer so I'll pick that up tonight. With any luck It will be out of the barn tonight!!!
