Blazer's 68 Nova "Stephanie"
- Thread starter kgblazerfive
- Start date
Don't know yet, I have seen some interesting designs that people have done, not sure yet what I am doing. Still have to get a new filler neck also so a bunch still up in the air.
Spent a bit of time on her today.
Adjusted my rocker arms on the drivers side, a number of years ago I had pulled the head to measure the bore to make sure it was a 307 never go the rockers adjusted right.
Did some timing and carb tuning, runs a lot better now.
Maybe going to put the shifter in tomorrow may work on Twink instead not sure yet.
Do need to put some more fuel in the tank though, it is sucking a bit of air already.

Made a shifter mount for my shifter. Rained a bit much for my liking so did not get the shifter in but the mount is in.
Ended up welding some flat stock over the tunnel and welding the mount to the flat stock. Worked out rather well.
Check out the date on the warranty information on the shifter think I have had it for awhile
Also filled in some holes in the floor board

Got the shifter in tonight no cable yet but it is bolted in cover is not attached yet.

Did some work on it tonight, well got it running again and the front float bowl decided to not shut the fuel of when it got full so had to fix that. Put a new fuel cell lid on a few weeks ago so the fuel will now not evaporate out of the tank.
Dash lights are not working so need to figure out that. Course the dash is shot so need to decide on weather or not to even keep it. have a full set of Auto Meter gauges if I want to go that route.
Fuel pump is being weird it is pumping air back through the fuel line and burping in the tank. Not sure how or why it is doing it but it is.

Not sure but it seemed to have fixed it self for now.
Took it off the jack stands, drove it down the street and back. Put it in the back yard on the pad, the race motor is back there so needed to go back there anyway. It does run and move and stops motor runs like crap though.
Figured I would get the engine in next, fuel pump and other said things going to go in also. Have to get a converter before the motor goes in though.

So sold the C10 on E-bay no money yet but the funds are going into Stephanie.
Cage, rebuild the Glide, rebuild the front end, clean up the sub frame, add frame connectors, maybe buying twins but will see.

fix that rust or change her name to Wilma Flinstone
Changing her name "to sit awhile again". Lose Job = not money for Stephanie.
So guess what ?
Stefanie is getting some love. Do to some changes in my home life I now have the use of my garage. So did some cleaning and some rearranging and going to put Stephanie in there tomorrow.

I have also made some decisions about what she is getting done to her. So going to fix the rust in the floor. Fix the rust in he trunk. Going to basically build a real fast street car. So I can still drive it on the streets but yet be really fast. Going to put in mini tubs do some suspension work on the rear. Going to get a 12 point cage and going to try and make it as hidden as possible. Eventually after the 350 has done its dues, going to do a 5.3 with twins or 8.1 with twins.
Got Steph moved into the garage. After chasing a no start issue. Batteries can be dead but still read 12 volts. Cost me $180 for a not so special new one.

So is it still to be your daughter's car or now it's yours?
Or did you have 2 of them?
Was never going to be my daughter's car until I'm dead and then the 3 of them can fight over it
I guess I misunderstood
