Sounds better now Got the timing dialed in, idle is perfect and vacuum issue addressed. Fuel line secured. Could not fix the leaks right at the transmission lines as they enter the radiator. Finally decided it was the cheap Chinese radiators fault and tig-welded in new bungs. Also finally...

Same pic looks like we took about the same angle pic in different states of the same model car on about the same day. Weird.

Sometimes I have to move when I am welding and grinding too. Someone needs to invent some better shop approved flip-flops! :)

Fired up the motor First start First start up. Good feeling to get to this point!!!

TV Cable adjustment This worries me. I have looked at some vids on this. Most just say to get it snug and adjust it as you drive it, warning me not to leave it too loose to begin with. How do most people set it up to start with?

Do I need to put in a toggle switch to lock the Torque Converter at highway speeds? Or will it work ok without it? If it needs a switch, is there an easy way to install it? I like easy. :D

Send it On my way to success. Thanks guys!

more info engine turns easy enough with the plugs still in using a standard half inch ratchet so it would seem the engine is ok. I am using jumper cables for battery cables. I am thinking these are not thick enough and/or too long, and messing up the amount of current actually getting to the...

So I have a 383 SBC that should make about 360hp so it is not a high compression motor. I am trying to start it up. I know how to put the hot battery cable on the correct stud of the starter and jump it with a screwdriver. I have the small JEGS starter- With a full charge on the battery, I can...

wrong post

Motor noises please I was thinking I would make some motor noises then it dawned on me...play some drag race vids on the shop TV. All it gets now is Bonanza anyway. :D

pop bottles Yep, RC Cola's.......and Coors

Fabricator vs 7th Grader Ok, So Bonehead is a great fab guy but in the 7th grade could he do this??? No, don't think so. Found this digging around tonight and opened a Corona with it, designed, manufactured and plated...stamped with my initials in 1967. Why would they allow 7th graders to make...

some of this pic vanished Well photobucket now started to charge after years of "free" and both Bonehead and I know it was planned. So, some pics are gone so I will put some back.

Gauges installed Well, almost. Made the brackets and painted them.

Crate Motors Didn't realize my crate engine had the plugs out to put a heater hoses in until I started filling fluids. Duh, ran right out on the floor.

Horn? I had not even thought of a horn yet. Better put that on the list as well. The list seems to be getting longer, not shorter.

brakes.... do you really need them? Got the brake pedal in with the right ratio. Just learned about pedal ratios and it should be right. Wilwood remote res is on the firewall. Tight fit but it looks like it will all work. Brake travel stops the pedal about 1/8 of an inch from the firewall. I...

Very NICE!

1978 Honda 750S Had a few mods. Basically stock. But a pseudo cafe racer in 1978. Might have been a 1976 come to think of it.
