And Phx, got plenty of room and a Bar in the basement! No brass pole tho (Damnit)

Oh, and here's what's been tying me up the last couple of days.



New Yow Vehicle. (Well first tow vehicle, really, and new to ME only, is an '06



Now to get back to my wiring......And I still gotta call Tom about the plumbing. I think he's concerned, and I love him for that!

Ray

That 600 is holding a 460"er back IMHO, you should be able to gain some throttle response and top RPM with the larger carb, think of it like opening the throttle more...More fuel and more air = more engine speed (theoretically anyways), I would go with the grande Carb.

GT

X2. I'm running a 750 dual feed, SP on mine for now, while it's twin is rebuilt and I gather up a linkage for the tunnel. Need an 850  or more, really, if I wanted to stay with the single. Will find out if I'm right on Sunday when we launch her.

Ray

Now that I think of it, Tom sent me a floating key ring. Looks like it might hold up the camera. Gonna try it in the pool in the morning!

Ray

It's a flat tappet 305 Degree deal Tom. Crane Roller Roockers, though. I'm pretty sure I got the oil figured out, after a couple emails to Joe Gibbs Racing.

I'll call you a lil later Tom. On my way out the door to pick up my new truck Well, new to me anyway. Will be nice to have something that can haul this cow. Shoulda seen me chaining that thing to a Grand Prix to get her in the garage! My neighbors went through a 12 pack watching that! What a Utube moment! But it WORKED! I feel like McGyver sometimes I swear.

Oh the pictures I have yet to post...........................

Ray

That's quite a machine! And you wasted no time tearing it down! ( SNIFF,,, as I did with the Mooo)..

Good luck, and look forward to the pics. Anything I can do to help.

Ray

Thought the same thing. BTW years ago, we used to wrap a piece of 8 Guage bare copper right at the header oulet on the chrome header. Twist it up real good. Seemed to stop the blueing in most cases. Worked well enough the motorcycle guys copied that from us.

Ray

Or just don't run it and spend all your time polishing it........ What was that? if it don't run, Chrome it??

Ray

Hopefully, yes. But really, if the big gear won't drop in, then the little gear is the answer, no? If it does, well then, I need to change out the gears. I only brought it up because it struck me as very STRANGE!

Never heard of this on anything before. Maybe Nostradamus was right??

Ray

No, It makes sense Nick. Kinda what I was thinking anyway. I tend to over analyze...... go figure after my last thread on the subject................ the physics of it all. Example, given what I have, I used the O/B dump from the bilge pump for the pressure valve outlet. Then drilled the new one in next to it, and y-ed in the bilge pump and regular o/b dump. I'm thinking I may well pump water back through the bilge pump, lol. Need to drill another o/b dump to make me happy I guess.  Got too much money invested in this to trash the engine. (And NOW I bought a truck to haul the damn thing!)


Ray

OK, got the goodies Tom sent in the boat. Hadda get a few more things, and a tap to tap out the intake for the header water line. But I think I'm plumbed! (I stress the THINK). Wiring is another matter I don't even want to get into. Gonna be a longer process than I thought on that. Maybe I can get that resolved tomorrow morning. But, and maybe Tom or 2Sav will chime in here, the Pressure releif valve Tom sent was backed all the way out. Can't really read the markings and graduations on it, but it's supposed to be 15-175 psi or something. All the way out means 15? And should I run another ball valve on the o/b dump from the Tstat housing? Also, should I, and where do you get, a water pressure guage? Have room on the Tstat cover for one if needed.



Wanted to start it on the hose today, but my Oil didn't show. (Ordered Joe Gibbs BR oil for Sunday, then HR oil for after that)

Ray

Mine used to have similar "hockey stick", or 340 mopar stripes. You can see the outline on a rather poor prep before tme Moo paint. But mine does not have the "Lip" going around the passenger compartment. What struck me was the back of it having the lip.
