    What new tools have you got lately?

    140 is a lot. Most air tools should only be run at 90 psi. That's probably your problem. Install a valve and release the pressure on your line before disconnecting the quick couple. Or install a regulator and keep your pressure at 90. I have one dedicated hose at full pressure just for inflating...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I've been using Milton M-series for as long as I can remember and never had a problem with leaking fittings. Some of my fittings were my grandfather's, so at least 40 years old. What pressure are you running at your fittings?

    I have something like your dome light issue. My dome light comes on with the jamb switches, but the lights at the floor do not. I have yet to figure that one out

    350 turbo with 203. I want to keep my 350 turbo and get a 205 behind it? Please help.

    Man I could tell you some stories about puking oil and guts. In southern IN we have the strip mine pits. A lot of fun, but great for breaking things! You come out of those mud holes with 44's spinning and hit that hard packed clay, a lot of times you hear a loud BAM!

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Did the same thing on my welding table. Got a vise, pipe vise, and a small bench grinder I mount to it. Like to know if you have ideas for anything else to mount to it

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I've been thinking about getting one of those. How well does it do compared to an air ratchet?

    350 turbo with 203. I want to keep my 350 turbo and get a 205 behind it? Please help.

    Chain drives show their weakness when you're stuck in a mud hole and you're gunning it forward, then slamming it in reverse. That's when my chain broke. If you're not doing anything like that, a 203 is a good case and you probably won't have any problems, as long as you take care of it. 205 is...

    350 turbo with 203. I want to keep my 350 turbo and get a 205 behind it? Please help.

    When you do the swap, don't forget to keep the VIN tag off the old cab. I managed to loose the tag from mine and it turned into more of a hassle than I thought it would when I went to get plates.

    Radiator Support Body Mounts

    You need to be careful using stainless bolts on anything requiring pull out strength. 304 stainless is the equivalent of using a grade 2 bolt. You may be ok using 316, it is equivalent to about a grade 5, but definitely don't use stainless for your cab mounts

    Air Conditioning Delete

    Classic industries has an AC delete cover that I used. It replaces that entire AC box under the hood, no welding required

    Double cardan ball

    Looks to me like you really should replace it, it needs to be round and smooth to pivot properly. You'll need a puller to get it off. Harbor Freight has a gear puller set that will do the job, or you may be able to get one from an auto parts store as a loaner tool. Use a dead blow to hammer the...

    Door Skin Sound Deadening

    I used 3M rubberized undercoat in mine. It seems to do pretty well. Anyone had any trouble with the mats trapping water and causing the doors to rust out?

    Which Mirrors are BEST quality?

    I agree with everything you read on the LMC mirrors, not the best quality, but fair. If you're going with painted or chrome mirrors, make sure to coat the inside heavily with some kind of coating. The ones I have had previously rusted from the inside out. I removed all the factory paint and used...

    AC temp control wire

    I think you're right, it's definitely not for the cigarette lighter. I'm not using AC so I can't say for sure. Everything else works right without it, so I left it unhooked.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Having more money in tools than all your vehicles combined isn't a problem, it's.... necessity. You know, so you can work on said vehicles and such. At least that's what I tell my wife!

    I recommend using header wrap. It made a huge difference in my under hood temperature

    Parking brake light always on, except when it isn’t

    Yes, if you disconnect the wire to the parking brake switch, the light should go out. The switch grounds out when the brake is applied. If it's still on, it's the proportioning valve. The only time my light came on was from a crushed brake line, but I think other issues can cause it.

    AC temp control wire

    Anyone know what the orange wire in the back of the temperature control vacuum switch goes to? Can't find it in the wiring diagram, and it's not shown in my Painless wiring book.

    HHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!! Update- problem unsolved again.

    Can't help you with the fuel problem, but I will tell you to be careful with those triangle filters. I was messing with my engine and it backfired through the carb. When it did it burnt the element, and the filter element started falling apart from the inside out. I never knew it until the...

    Old Gas Can

    That's actually a really nice safety can. Probably was pretty expensive back in the day. That FM diamond is for FM Global, an insurance company and testing service. Anything that's FM approved has been through a more rigorous testing than others. It's a step above UL listing, if you've heard of...

    Wiring Harness journal

    Are you using the modern motorized selector switch for your fuel injection? If so, I would use the 87 wiring and selector switch. Don't try to force the new style switch into the rectangle hole on your 77, you'll break the switch (yes, I did that). You will need to make the hole about a 1/4 inch...
