Ok I believe I have brought stupid to a whole new level and maybe took the phrase "can't piss on what you can't catch" literally...have any of you had fun with your wiper fluid outlets? for some apparent reason chevy thought it was necessary to equip their wiper fluid reservoir with a bilge pump on these older vehicles, with that being said I can disconnect my passenger's wiper tube at the base of the windshield and squirt anything within a distance of about 10' :D

It's absolutely hilarious to squirt a car in front of you, have your wiper fluid land on their windshield, and see them try to figure out what the hell is going on! :haha:
 
I used to run a bleach one in my trunk with nozzles in the wheelwells pointing in front of the tires back in the late 70's, early 80's in a few of my hotrods....

ya could smoke out a city block real quick...... :saweet:

Genius! That way no one can see if your in the back of the lot splashing your tires in bleach :thumb: ...however I get a little nervous when I lay some rubber, already blew up my 10b in the first two months I owned my truck:doah: $800 ouch...and some broken pride.

btw that is a bad ass project k5 you got!
 
tank ya sir...... :D the projects have been quite, let's say, laborious.. :wink1: hopefully it'll be wheeling by spring... :deal:


tho it's down around #182 on the priority list, I've briefly contemplated a beefed up/psycho washer system on the rig..... something that'll help get mud off the windshield...

All I can say is wow...you sure do have your things in order and prioritized :waytogo:
 
eh, the priority list thing is kinda a running joke thing for me around here..... anytime it's something pretty trivial, as opposed to getting the truck back on the road, I usually dole out some # between 50 and 200... :haha:

like my cowl induction hood/airbox with working flapper, definitely a priority over a psycho washer setup, so that gets about a #67 on the list... :wink1:
 
man, i can only wish my squirters work that well. its been my experience over the years that most gm truck wiper motors suck...if they even work at all. I have aftermarket LMC squirters in both my rigs now and they work ok.

Not to hijack my own thread here...since you mentioned it and you want to have your cowl work like its supposed to with the low pressure area, are you going complete custom? or are you fabbing up a system that will work with the aftermarket show hoods, like the ones on LMC? I came close to forking over the $$$ for one but I decided my suspension was much more important:whistle:
 
Years ago, the pump on my mother's car started wearing out. Every so often, I would go out and bend the little nozzles up so that the increasingly weaker stream would make the windshield.

OK, I'm back, I suddenly had to go pee........

Finally it got to the point that I had to put on a new pump.
It pumped, so I did not think to check the aim.

She called me the next day to say that it was not working.
Also, she thought that something might be wrong with something on the back end of her car.
Great, just what I need to hear, a clear concise explanation of a problem.

When I tried to pin her down as to what was wrong with what, noise, sparks, smoke, all she would say was that people had been blowing their horn at her from behind all day whenever she was stopped in traffic.

Of course, what was happening was that when she would be sitting in traffic, she would try to clean the windshield, and would keep hitting the button hoping it would work. Meanwhile, she was spraying the windshield of the car behind her.
Never even noticed the streams going over the car.

well, it'll be an airpan assembly on top of the tbi powercharger

under the air filter.. similar in function to a Moroso airpan like this,

710-65960.jpg



but it'll be made from the composite fiberglass I've used thruout my build on the console, dash, etc... and obviously it'll be a fair amount larger than the Moroso unit so it matches up to the under side of the cowl hump... I'll be running a 6" x 14" air filter in it... also the sidewalls will be mostly fiberglass, with a much smaller foam gasket....


then I will also be running a functional flapper in the cowl hood itself.... I have about 1/2 of the parts needed for that sitting in my attic from my Chevelle days...

then under the back edge of the cowl I'll have my fuel pressure, trans pressure and vac gauges...

You say that like its a bad thing..........

Man you have almost 1500 posts, so I know you have been here before.

Grown men and women spending thousands and thousands of dollars on obsolete vehicles to make them capable of climbing over rocks or other places they were never meant to be able to go.

And for no other reason than to say they did it. They do not need to go there for any practical purpose. No one is in danger, there is no money waiting for them, sometimes there is no one around to see them do it.

Childish? Kinda the whole idea. Grownups do things to make money or advance themselves in some way.
Children do things because its fun.

Please God, I don't care how old I get. Just don't let me grow up....
 
There's a guy up here with a Toyota truggy that has a cut down tail gate... The tail gate doesn't work, but he left the handle and when anyone pulls it a windshield squirter shoots you right in the crotch...:haha:

He even put a sticker on it that says pull me...:D

I've watched people pull and pull on that thing until it looks like they pissed themselves...
