My '70 C/10 - The Rat Bastard... [Won't Idle.]

[79rustyk10]

congrats!

ya might wanna cough up another $50 or so for at least some Hooker comps... those Summit headers sound like tinny cr@p..

and if you where anywhere else, they'd rot out in a couple yr's..

X2!

I think both sets of hooker comps i bought were in the $150 to $160 range. Both fit great , and sealed well. I had to pry them off when I pulled the engine from my old nova.

The set on my K10 easily cleared the shackles even.

I'll look into the Hooker Header's... Thanks guys!

The next thing is a driveshaft, the brakes, Tranny Cooler and Rad. Fan.
Then I'm done, and its smokey burnout time...

Im happy with my Hooker Super Comps. They been on the BB for meh, 7 years maybe, and have never been painted and honestly never been washed , yet to rust through.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

This friday should see my brakes being done, maybe the Radiator Fan, too.

I need to actually get myself down to Dremu's for that Trans cooler.
And scrape up some more dollars for a driveshaft.

My pipefitter brother-in-law agreed to weld the driveshaft up.
That way im just paying a shop for a balance.
That oughta save some serious $$$.

I was talking comps, not supers.. talking $180 vs a tuned $475 header...

Glad you got her to fire.

Now get some coolant running through it and make loud noises

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Gonna fill it with coolant tomoro morning, and fix the fuel line, too.
Then, she'll get run in for a bit, and I'll make some loud noises.

I've got another 1.5 gallons of 91-octane to burn through...

I can't get over how perfect that cam is....
Its seriously EVERYTHING that I wanted, sound wise.

 

[chulisohombre]

Sounds good man. Glad to hear the power plant goin. And that cam definitely sounds awesome. Nice lope to it. Can't wait to hear it opened up a lil and of course smokey smokey on some tires.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I need pulleys... My battery can no longer support the HEI without the alternator.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Mike if I come to your house for dinner I want enchiladas or burritos.

I just caught this...

We dont make Mexican food, in this house....
When yer surrounded by "little Mexico", you get Mexican food.

That would be like living in Tokyo, and trying your hand at Sushi....


Edit: Maybe, "Trying your hand at Sushi", is a bad metaphor, for JJ....

 

[454Sub]

Haha. In USA, you dont order mexican food, it just shows up.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

That reminded me of: "In capitalist America, Bank robs you!"

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Pulleys are on their way, to me...

I found a KILLER deal on a set of Chrome pulleys, for a SWP, Driver Alt., A/C, BBC.
Killer, as in, I paid less than Pick-n-Pull prices.
*and, i didnt have to hunt the pulleys down, and waste a day of my life in the yard.*

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

My water pump pulley didnt make it, today.
But, the Crank and Alternator pulleys did!

That stance...

 

[dremu]

That stance...

That lack of a master cylinder...

I harass you, but my trucks often have all their parts and are just as (dys)functional as yours
