    Squ-Air Compressor

    We pulled the 3” inspection plug and shined a light in there. There was a bunch of debris in the new tank, some of it was definitely rust but it seemed like it was mostly dust or dirt. We suspect someone ran the compressor in a dirty environment with no filter. We also assumed that is why it...

    Squ-Air Compressor

    We managed to get the pulley shroud mounted, motor aligned and belts on during Miller time. The plan for tomorrow is to pump it up enough to make a quick pass with the DA’s, get a coat of epoxy down and top coat with some old Acrylic Enamel paint we had laying around. Also @idahovette wanted...

    Squ-Air Compressor

    The tank on Dad’s air compressor finally rotted out… This repair journey started with shopping Faceplace and Craigstuff, we found a 3 phase 15 horse unit on a 120 gallon tank that was bad ass (48 CFM) for $350 an hour away. I planned a pickup date and last minute discovered the 20 HP...

    Subwoofers

    Same… Doing head unit and subwoofer installs insured I always had beer. I also was the go to guy to repair the budget installs done by the big box stores and to tone out wires in cars after the head units were hacked out by thieves. Thinking back on it, I probably should have charged more than...

    A lot of picky “audiophiles” prefer the A/B class amplifiers for sound quality on the full range channels

    What new tools have you got lately?

    My dad worked with a guy that was in the Air Guard who had access to the equipment for calibration. Every year or two he would take Dad’s wrench and calibrate it. Dad has been retired for some time now and decided to mail his Snap-On torque wrench in for calibration. They returned it saying...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I just purchased an Inch Pound Gearwrench from Summit racing, I haven't used it yet but it feels like a quality tool. The adjustments are really well marked and the lock out is fool proof. You get what you pay for with torque wrenches, not saying you need to spend a fortune on a Snap-On but...

    Best budget lift

    Best budget lift IMHO would be a leaf and re-arched factory springs in the front, blocks in the rear and any budget shock that fits the bill. You shouldn't need a drop pitman arm at that amount of lift and dual stabilizers are just snake oil. You would be better served spending the dual...

    Dude... Is that a dimmer switch grommet? That's a rad way to trim out the wiring hole

    What new tools have you got lately?

    The ones they sell at Summit seem to all be this product line, I really like the Gear wrench box compared to my Carlisle box and Dad's Snap-On box. Time will tell if it is worth the cost.

    Subwoofers

    You’ll be hard pressed to find a 10” sub that will fit under the seat in a square… This is a 13.5” shallow mount but was just a little too big to fit behind the seat and have the seat go all the way back without making some modifications to the seat frame. If you build a box for a shallow...

    SM465 to 4l80e or 700r4 Swap

    700R4 should hold up just fine to a lightly modified 350, my dad had a 700 in his K-20 with a 454 forever. That truck got swapped back to a small block and sold off, it was still rolling around on the same 700 for many years after. Make sure the TV cable is adjusted and drive it like an adult…

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Got a new 3/8” Inch Pounder! 30-250 inch pound Also decided to engrave my name in my 1/2” drive wrench while marking my new one

    Tire pressure

    ^^^ Good explanation The Mopar brands (all brands actually) boost the tire pressure to the max safe number on the door jambs anymore... Those few extra PSI reduce fuel consumption by some tiny percentage but when calculated over the entire number of vehicles produced each year they are able...

    LS Swap Smoothie Firewall Fusebox Placement?

    IDK… You could epoxy a small piece of plywood to the inside of the firewall and mount the fuse box to the factory spot. The wiring could come up through the spot where a factory clutch rod would be. I didn’t smooth off the fuse box bulkhead on mine. But some spots I added electric components...

    Factory air cleaner/cold air setup?

    IIRC my 1980 with 250ci inline 6 was driver side, PS was hacked open partially to run A/C condenser hoses

    Modified transfer case question 83 K10

    I don’t think the 241’s we have laying around have a 2 piece tail shaft housing like that. I could be wrong though

    Fuel tank/pump replacement

    Just spit balling here... I wonder what a gallon of Berryman ChemDip would do if you poured it in the tank and sloshed it around a few times per hour. When I worked in a shop we had a 5 gallon bucket of that stuff and it would make light work of fuel varnish and carburetor scuzz. One of the...

    Firewall circuit breaker

    Yes, but... I made the switch because I was doing a shaved firewall, added a metric ton of electronics and the truck is not a daily driver otherwise I would have kept them. Fusible links are a pretty stout and reliable way of fusing, If you are going to swap fuse types try to get something...

    Firewall circuit breaker

    As @Turbo4whl says it is a junction block There would normally be two fusible links from that junction feeding the fuse box (bulkhead) located at the far right of the firewall.
