Re: 1965 Stepside, The LST Challenge

Finally figured out my fuel pressure issue and it bleeding down after you shut off the engine. I broke down and bought a new FP regulator on Black Friday since AZ had a special and free shipping. Got a few extra parts I needed for my DD since I had to spend $125 to get $25 off and a $20 AZ gift card...All in that works out to $80 that I needed to spend.

Got the regulator installed is past week, BINGO it now holds 58psi at idle and does not bleed down after shutting off the engine. Next step is the OBDII port. Hoping that I can actually make it to LST 2018 with this thing and Owen's truck!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 1965 Stepside, The LST Challenge

Just a quick update...

I have this thing registered to be at LST along with Owen's "Henry". It is not really where I wanted it to be for taking it there, so I am a bit on the fence about taking it now. I might just swap it's registration to a buddy so that he can take his truck. I just don't have the time to get it where I want it to be.

I have messed with it some, but truthfully, I have not been very motivated to work on it. I go out there, but just don't feel like doing what I need to do which in reality is not much...We have been putting more focus on Owen's truck to get it ready for LST.

Anyway, while wasting time on You Tube, I stumbled across a video from Bowtie Junkies that they put together of C10's in the Park 2017. I made someone's video! Here is a snippit from it...
