How about HID's... just in the low beams for now. Got these for free and the we're brans new from a friend so I figured what the heck. A little trimming to the plastic around the bulb and they fit with a perfect seal that came with he kit.

Well its been a while, a small change in venue, most of the 'honey do' list is. Complete and now its time to make that runstand earn its keep. No that it hasn't already by simply holding the engine for almost a year since I only have a small roll of wire invested in to it. I'm gonna post a few pics of updates that I've accomplished over the last week all in the name of just getting the engine running to see that my wiring paid off before I strip the engine down and replace bearings and gaskets if need be. Bearings are gonna be a definite though.

My youngest son and I did a little cleaning and prep. He removed all the could packs and we found the tip to number 1 cylinder broke. It's just the insulator that is broke so hopefully with the wire shroud in it there won't be any scatter to the valve cover.


I just finished modifying the old sending unit to accept -6 an fittings and line. I also got the filler pipe and valve welder to the prelube tank yesterday. I'm going to mock up the fuel system in a bucket to test the crap looking hose clamps that came with the pump. Then exhaust gaskets, prelube and fire up. I will get a video of start up until edited so if there 8s a problem maybe it will help someone else to not make the same mistake.

        Got fuel system set up. This is the exact system that will run in the truck plus another tank. The 'T' fitting has an 1/8" port for a Guage fitting that's almost worthless. The plug sits so low in the 'T' fitting that it's sure to block flow and if you use a standard fitting it will almost completely block flow soo...

I modified it!

Tested the fuel system today. First and second test were fails due the 'T' fitting Guage port.


Once I figured out that it wasn't the hoses leaking on the 'T' fitting I just took it out and bam...it's good to go!

Once LTZ figures those out he's gonna love the next one. It should have a lot of sound now that my prelube tank is complete with oil filter and an air filter that has desiccant inside. I also got my Jegs order in less than 48 hours and it was on my door step! Can't beat that!

Well they aren't playing for some reason. Videos on here usually show up the same size as pics and work. These are real small and really fuzzy and definitely aren't videos. Upload issue?
