Re: New 79 KC for my dad
Laid some FatMat
Got the KC panels installed with new clips from napa
Finished all the wiring, plumbing, and final detail in the engine bay!
Ready for a test fire tomorrow (seeing as it's 3am and the trucks currently open header)
Prepped, primed, and painted the underside of the hood
And for the first time in months the truck is outside and looking like a truck again
Fingers crossed that it will fire up and only need a dizzy adjustment

Re: New 79 KC for my dad
I hate moving so very very much.....
But I've made progress
From this:
[/url]
To this!!!
[/url]
Finally -.-
And since the wiring gremlin seems to be out of control and beyond me I've enlisted the help of the Dr and to make everything easier I blew up a wiring diagram from my FSM to the size of my kitchen table
[/url]
[/url]
Hopefully we can get the truck sorted out now
Fingers crossed :/

Added some much neeeded lights and signals!!

Re: New 79 KC for my dad
Was starting to wonder if you quit Datsuns altogether.

Re: New 79 KC for my dad
They are never done yo
But I just wrapped up everything needed on my dads 67 mustang, next up is my folks 2011 Hylander. It needs some basic TLC/maintenance items, then this truck will be up next
I swear one day I'll get caught up.....

If your caught up you really are not trying to do anything in the first place.

Re: New 79 KC for my dad
True, I'll just be happy to be back to Datsuns!
With that said my dad's Mustang came out freaking great when I was done with it.
Electric fan
New rad
Fan conctroller
Tons of wiring redone
Motor torn all the way back to the timing set(on an A/C & power steering car)
Lots of new gaskets
Carb rebuild and retune
New chrome valve covers and a valve adjustment
And what ever else I'm forgetting
But in the end I won! I always do
