Good idea. If the compression checks ok, that will probably be the next move.

No I've replaced it. It's just right next to the master cylinder with the coiled up brake lines and stuff. Hard to get your hand back in there, but it's not nearly as bad as #8!Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

That is going to make the whole look change!!
Are you going to have time to get them on tonight?....Or should I say, are you going to MAKE time to get them on tonight!
Once you get those shiny wheels on there, it will be hard not to attack the paint!
Are you going to put carpet back in, or a high quality vinyl/rubber?

Just bought some more lugnuts.
Holy crap this thing uses a lot of lugnuts. I had 20 of the long style, but NONE of the parts stores had them in 1/2-20. Ended up at a shop that sells wheels and got 16 more that look similar and were less expensive to boot.
16 Lug nuts $24.00

Yesterday started out decent, so I jumped at the opportunity to bolt the new wheels and tires on it. I LOVE the way it looks now!
The wheel spacers I found under the seat definitely came in handy as the front wheels just barely hit the bump that is just to the left of the bleeder in this pic. Did I mention it has giant brakes?
I changed the oil, fired it up and drove it around the block and it still runs like crap. I did the plug wire pull test while it was idling again and 3,6,7 had no effect on the idle. These are the cylinders that are adjacent to the exhaust crossover. I started cleaning on the other intake and looking at it's gaskets, it looks like the exhaust crossover bakes the intake gaskets pretty badly then the gaskets fail. I am going to block the exhaust crossover when I pull the intake.
Ewww. The little pan is supposed to keep oil off the exhaust heated part of the intake. What it really does is trap oil next to the exhaust heated intake!
It snowed last night, so that will be all the work I can do this weekend.Last edited by BBR; March 25, 2016, 02:30 PM.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

VERY NICE!! No center caps? Is it a full floating rear? Can you get "short" center caps, or do they only have the big long ones becasue its 3/4 ton?
Sounds like you've got a good plan for the motor! We used the rubber "china wall" end gaskets in the past and I think it was the cause of an intake leak. We just couldn't get the intake fully seated. We use RTV now.
We've never used the valley pan either and typically we fully block off the exhaust crossover with a thin piece of stainless.
Its interesting that you thinnk the intake has already been off.... I'm curious what you'll find?
