tearin it apart... and buildin it back up

it ran good for a few days. i got a vaccum leak somewhers so im gonna tear it off, chck the intake gasket and old egr and put some RTV to it.

PEARL, just gimme beer lol

if u dont have emissions use copper gasket sealant!
its awesome...you wont have leaks anymore thats for sure

mmmm that Weber looks sexxxy

hey thats a sweet looking weber there,what one did ya get? nice to see its coming along for ya. now get some free time and come down here and help me get rid of all my wires that i dont need and ill give ya rear window. lol....

I hear ya on this one - very true LOL

Now for my question, what is the line going from the Weber to just below the factory fuse box (on the inner fender, by the battery). Don't recall having that on either of my installs and was just curious. As for the vacuum leak (experience, LOL) the adaptor plates tend to leak unless you use a good gasket sealer. And it probably would not hurt to use a little thread lock on the counter sunk bolts holding the first plate to the intake. In my first install a couple of those bolts backed out enough to creat a vacuum leak (again, experience LOL).

welp time for questions... and maybe some answers!!! haha

ok i got it back to runnin. it was the bolts on the plate. backed out. got them in, sealed up the gaskets, fired it up and it purred like a kitten...

linn, mines a 32/36. the hose goin under the fuse box in the float vent. i was just gonna block it but my mechanic friend told me to run a long hose out away from it so it wont be easy for it to suck in dirt. it originally went to the charcoal canister.

aaron, just take off the passenger kick panel, pull out the computer, GRAB THE SCISSORS! hahahaha thats what i did! cut the wire at the EGR and the wire for the original elec choke, cut it at the choke, follow it back and run it under the intake mani.

i'm seriously amazed at how easy it was. it was my first one so i think that just made it difficult... plus wreckin the caprice and wantin it back on the road quick.

got a few things done over the past few weeks. yesterday my new clear corners arrived from josh. i put them on as soon as i got home! also got the bumper plastics but i'm paintin them before they go on. kinda a waste cuz i think i'm gittin 4wd sheetmetal tomorrow but oh well. well i got my passenger door fully shaved... then i found the corner was bent out.


and finally got around to gittin a pic of the doorpanels. they aint the greatest but i'm happy with 'em. need to sand a bit more and clean up the backside of the panel cuz dude got some resin on the back so they dont sit completely in. and my dumbass got in the truck the other nite at my buddy's shop and kicked the speaker. DAMN BIG FEET! i'm gittin new ones probly tomorrow.


AND.....

DEV IS THE FUGGIN MAN! WOOT!


car in the background of the first pic is still forsale! lol and the bed and fenders probly will be this week too. $200 for them.

"my dumbass got in the truck the other nite at my buddy's shop and kicked the speaker. DAMN BIG FEET! i'm gittin new ones probly tomorrow."


are you getting new speaker or new feet?
joking. those sierra rims look nice, you sould paint them black and then get the raised portion of each spoke machined, that way will look sic.

YAY! gots me a new altenator. GM 1 wire for $50. ITS BRAND OLD! lol put the bumper plastics on for temporary too. just too cold to take pictures today.

NEXT WEEKEND, i'll have the 4wd sheetmetal and hopefully start orderin air ride shtuff.

cool man
