Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Primed my engine yesterday getting it ready to install. While priming it I noticed my new oil pump sure is noisy. I may have to replace it. Not sure if this is normal or not. Had no problem with getting oil to the rocker arms though. Pressure seems good.
Watch "Distributor noise 327" on YouTube https://youtu.be/yxYskCEgSHA |

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I just read through this whole thread. Absolutely amazing work! Boy I wish had anywhere near the patience you have....
Those valve covers are amazing. As is everything else you've done. Great work!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Thanks. I appreciate it. My engine builder said I should be ok with that oil pump so I can soon get it in the frame. With covid19 out it may take a bit as I can't have anyone over to help so I may find a few other projects to do before the drivetrain gets in.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yeah I'm pretty excited about the driveline. I wish I would have done 3:73 or even 4:10 but I hope the 3:55 rear will be ok. My engine builder built my engine for those specs so I'll leave it now.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
What did you use as a nut to hold the damper in place?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
It actually a piece of 1/4" flat that I tapped and welded on the Inside of the gate. It fits perfectly with the spacing of the handle of the damper. I did File out and add a piece into the damper so when I tighten it up it gets sandwiched nice and tight.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Started the other side. Made a bushing for the rod to ride on. Now to the other side where the rod goes into. That will be a little more of a challenge to make.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got them from member 1966chevy some time ago. It's unbelievable how much quieter it operates now.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
This works just like crossbreed's video. I'm glad I did this mod. I have a few things to do to finish this up but for the next bit I'll be finally getting back to work for a couple of days. This is how my trunions ended up looking. Took more than a couple hours and about 200 bucks but we'll worth it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got a bit further on the gate tonight. Got the bushing into the gate tight so it won't come out and started the piece that holds the rod inside the gate.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Someone needs to do a step by step write up on this tailgate mod! I am loving watching it come together!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Thanks. Hoping I can get you guys a video of the gate in the next couple of days. Just waiting for a part in the mail. It's taking extra long to get stuff these days.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Picked up an engine run stand last night I'm going to use to break my engine in. It supposedly doesn't need a radiator. It has adapters on eack end of the rad hoses st hook up to your water tap. Has anyone ever run an engine like this? Seems like pumping constant cold water into a warm engine would not be the best.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Although I have only run an engine with the garden hose trick once, I would suggest having a valve on the outlet end of hose coming out of the thermostat housing so you could monitor the engine temp and adjust the valve accordingly.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yeah. It might be best to moch up a radiator for it as well. Not worth ruining a brand new engine.
