Nice project. Do you happen to remember the part number for your DT tri-y headers?

[kvn1011]

forgot that i have a YORK 210 also
i need to purchase an air tank
(to do list)

[kvn1011]

i'd probably be in the paint booth by now
but i got married, and i found this and chloe!!

[kvn1011]

ok, i think i have posted everything for the most part
this all happened over a 4 year time span
i usually try to get at least one part on each pay period

Thanks!! and yep, i got it from a board vendor for close to 400.00
Part Number: THY-324Y-C

quick trip to O'reillys to get headlight adjustment nuts as the old ones are cracked and brittle i have the headlight adj screws sitting in some PB blaster to knock off that rust

[kvn1011]

i have a few updates, but no progress, welder came in!! got the handler125Ez by way of amazon from Hobart as a refurbished unit it has a few scratches but that's to be expected!

[kvn1011]

i also rec'd my impala SS rear brakes
that i ordered from rock auto
i got left and right calipers for $60.00 total

i had no clue that i would get the caliper, brake pads and brackets for the above price.
the down side is that i ordered caliper brackets, at 11.00 each and didnt need to since the calipers came loaded and also came with the brackets

it was very easy to set up a return authorization on the website, but i lost 6 bucks on shipping
but, again i still feel that i got a good deal on those parts

i have already installed captain fabs, SS brackets
i kit that is right up my alley!!
the quality and the price cant be beat!!

Nice work!

[kvn1011]

thanks Zammer!
next phase is brake and fuel lines!

[kvn1011]

brake lines completed i'll get pics up shortly
hope to start wiring soon
hopefully this weekend!

[kvn1011]

i was also able to clean my gas tank with muriatic acid (4.00) at Lowes
and i used por15 tank sealer that i got from Amazon (44.00) if i remember correctly , it came out really nice!!
i still need to get a new fuel float and sending unit.
i have 1/2 inch fuel line
my plan is to drill a hole into the top of the unit and instal my bulkhead complete with the fuel proof nylon gaskets that way my fuel system will be ready for any upgrades that i can think of
i just need to figure out how to install the metal sock/filter onto the half inch line


ok i think that is all that ive done so far
wait, i do have one pic of what i did with my brake booster lol
saw this mod on power-block tv
it was on a 240 and i thought it was cool and borrowed the idea lol

[kvn1011]

i thought it was a slick idea
should be a nice test to see how all the connections work lol

im always taking coloring outside the lines

[kvn1011]

need to order some stainless button head bolts and shave and fill the top mounting bolts from the old booster combo

[kvn1011]

if only i could find a long enough steel bulkhead an fitting i would have used it as a mounting point for the master
but something of a higher power intervened and prevented that from being possible

[kvn1011]

ahhh one more thing
i started the fuel line install
but stopped as i need to get the engine between the rails

question
will i be ok with having hardlines from tank to engine?
or will i need to add a flex line or rubber fuel line near the engine
