She is back.
I drove her for the first time last night. I still have a lot to get her to where I am satisfied but we are a lot closer now. I apparently did not paint the master cylinder good enough and the Eastwood stainless burned off the manifolds some. I want to get the exhaust redone in the back and have it exit behind the rear wheels instead.

Re: She is back.
Very nice!
I have the exhaust exiting behind the rear wheel to, and I like it better than in front for sure.

Re: She is back.
Thanks guys. Here are a couple more pics. I had the shop put a 700r4 in it only to find out it has a 2.74 rearend gear according to the shop. So one of the first things on the list is a change of gears to a 3.73.

Re: She is back.
This burb is driving me crazy. I am having trouble getting fuel from the tank to the carb. I had the gas tank replaced with one from FuelCell Guy and the shop installed a rubber line from the tank to new hardlines running down the frame rail. I had installed a new fuel pump and even replaced it thinking that it may have been defective. It will run fine if I drop the gas line in a gas can but otherwise I am having problems. The rubber hose from the tank to the hard line had a kink in it and I fixed that and drove it once for about 15 minutes and then parked it for the night. It now will now not start again when hooked up to the tank it will only run from a gas can. The tank is vented and I have a vented gas cap. Any ideas? I would take it back to the shop but they are 80 miles away and it is a $200 tow bill. I am over budget as it is. I never really thought about how much harder it is to work on a lowered vehicle in a gravel driveway. I need to get this think going me and the wife have been carpooling for 3 months now. Argh....

Re: She is back.
If all rubber lines are new, problem might be inside tank. I would pull output line from pump and fire it up (gas already in carb) and check output. If the output volume is low I would remove gas cap and feed line from pump and blow back into tank and make sure line is clear. Sure sucks that you have to diagnois what you paid to have done!

Re: She is back.
OK, now I gotta think and this hurts. I'll post again if I get another idea, but I would still do a flow volume test out of the pump

I had that problem with mine but for the life of me I can't remember what I did to fix it. It hasn't been that long ago either. I can remember blowing into the tank fill to put pressure on it while the wife turned it over and it would start and run then but after it set for a while it wouldn't start again. I'm thinking I put an electric pump back by the tank but I'm not 100% sure. It isn't here right now so I can't go out and look at it. Man, it's hell to get old... LockDoc
