ONE BIG JIMMY "Everything In TX Is Bigger!"

Thanks for the concern but this is just an auxiliary fan only I still have the primary that I hope will do the job as well if not I have a back up plan of dual electric as well
 
Brown Santa brought me an early gift
The holley 21-3 ac bracket spacer kit
This kit is needed so the ac bracket and compressor aligns up right with the belt and the rest of the drive
Here is the crappy thing the kit is 100 bucks and I only need half due to us using the factory brackets on the driver side and holley will only sell it as a whole kit
But I got the spacer and the compressor bracket dropped off at the powder coater and will have it back tomorrow

Installed the ac bracket. I could not wait it was super hard to get to the garage I had knee surgery again and it makes it hard to get out and mess with it right now but the wife helped and we got it done.

I see two things that I will need to trim and that being the passenger side engine cover will need a little trim and the factory intake resignator tube will need some help as well to make it all fit right
But it's all good I figured I would have to do that.

Does anybody out there that is watching my thread have any experience with line locks for brakes
I have used them on race cars but what I'm thinking of doing is using a line lock on the rear brakes and using the original pedal e brake
So follow me here!
The original e brake has a sensor switch on it that when you engage the brake the switch then tells the light on the dash that it has been engaged.
So why couldn't I use that switch to also control a relay to engage a line lock to lock up the rear brakes and that should give me the ebrake I need and still use the original brake assembly without having to buy the pain in the butt Cadillac calipers and all the bull crap that goes with them to make my ebrake work and look original
 
That's what I was thinking. I really have thought about it for sometime but I'm getting pretty close to having to worry about it
The body will be out of paint soon so then all the little things like that come into play
 
But...once you turn your rig off, that brake warning light goes off, wouldn't the relay not be getting power then thus no brakes? Just talking out loud so to speak....
 
yeah you would almost have to rewire it all.

Would be a bit of a pain to push on the brakes then push on the E-brake at the same time.
 
Ok good stuff! This is why I reach out!
Did not think about hitting the brakes and then pressing the e brake petal

I think the ebrake will still work if that signal is completing a ground and not a 12volt when you turn the car off and the relay has a constant 12 volt
But pushing both pedals is going to be the issue
 
you'll be putting a draw on the rig while it is off I'd guess...
 
That is true it would put a small draw on the battery but I live in flat ass tx we hardly use the damn parking brake but have to have it to pass inspection
 
I can sympathize, Joysey has always been that way too... tho, I'm not sure they check it here anymore, I think we're strictly the sniffer these days..

I'm gonna run a driveline brake with the factory pedal...
 
Any body have any info on the Tom woods slip yoke eliminator for the np241 they quoted me a good price on the driveshaft and sye package and I might just do it
