@Dan the man Kim

The first thing I would do is get rid of one of the fuel pumps. Mech pumps are not designed to pull fuel through another pump. I would keep the elec pump & bypass the mech pump. There is no reason to have two pumps for the HP level of this engine.

Hi Danny, I never heard of him, but i’m not on face book. Do u know where he is from? Kim

I've done that on every car I've owned, this truck is new to me a few months ago. I'm doing some of the wiring over, installed both a ground and positive hub today, as well as a bigger ground cable, separate ground wires for ECU, starter relay, a ground wire all the way to the rear taillights...

And what do you mean by this??

The 3 speed original tranny on the '60 Val winds up pretty high between 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and sort of slams into gear with a ka-thunk. I lessen this by letting off the gas at a lower rate of speed and pausing until the transmission finds the next higher gear, with less noise and jarring. I...

Is this something you've always dealt with or has it just started?

Just finished up reading through the whole thread. I look forward to seeing your upcoming updates!

She has been sitting in the shop for six weeks now, but so far Jim got the speedometer cable, and it's gear, replaced, NOS speedometer installed, oil sending unit replaced, fuel gauge working. The big issue was the fuel tank. Jim predicated that after 60 years it would have significant...

dan's so cheap he could squeeze a nickle and get six pennies. also, dan was considered "young people" probably 30+ years ago, so the shine is well off that apple.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :lol: :lol: :lol:

Awesome, very nice. You're mom will certainly have a big smile.

Thanks! 3 year project. Just got the brakes bled last night to pull it out for its first bath! Hasn’t been out of the garage in a long while- just in time to pick up Moms for Mother’s Day dinner tomorrow!

Works on semis with the 10s of thousands of miles they put on in a year. We had a couple that both drove their Freightshaker, 100k in 4 months. There was a few others that were similar.

What does your car weigh?

That's a great looking 68

That is up to him. I have generally pretty good patience. If he does apply what he can learn here, he should end up with a lot of mechanical knowledge and a car that runs well.

The other thing not mentioned in this thread is that some high performance and almost all race engines at a simi pro and pro level are having pistons custom made to their design specs. Which is about 500 give or take per piston. Don’t forget rods, cams, and everything else. So comparing a racing...

That is the cost of the pistons and rings through Summit. Remember we get hosed for the $ exchange at 1.4 these days and our prime peckerhead spashing money around to appear as a world savior is only getting us deeper in debt which eventually sink our $ more. I already have most of the stuff for...

My guess would be that he was picking the 24, based upon the fact that he liked my post which also has Byron as a pick for the race.

“Some modifications required” haha!

I got the transmission disassembly done. Looks like the thing was rebuilt and never ran. Good stuff, brand new steels and clutches, front and rear 4 pinion planetary I talked to RJ @71Demon528 & he was very helpful. Also some texts with Chris. You guys on fabo really are helpful. Tomorrow I'll...

My KDX has a headlight one it...just saying

Hello

Offers

Is your regulator pressure moving around still ?

Basic drag car set up. 28 × 4.5 Hoosiers on 15 by 4 weld drag lites. 29.5 - 11.5 W Hoosiers on 15 by 12 / 2.5 bs weld drag lites. Some modifications required. Sorry there's not room to take photos in my garage. The end

I highly doubt that Dan will put any of this information to any practical use.
