izzo Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I like your dime Radio :D It looks to be in decent shape man. Anyone know what the hole is on the opposite side of the cig lighter? Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Mine just has a plug there. Probably just an extra hole for whatever you want. Back in the day, my dad used the extra hole in what is now my 521 for a headphone jack(Mom must not have liked listening to AM talk radio every where they went :lol: ) Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Bought a Walnut Wheel for the 620, and ordered some mooneyes gauges. Radio Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Saturday night, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday off baby! Ok I think I want to pull the l20 this weekend but am nervous! I have the Rad off, I've read thru that section in haynes 14 times. I got the engine leveller all jigged up. what next? Steps? Radio Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Remove the battery!!!! then starter, drain the oil, (less leaking when moving the motor around after it's out) fuel line to pump and return if equipped, take the fan blades off so they don't get broken, unbolt the exhaust down pipe, disconnect the oil pressure sender, alternator, distributor (remove if possible so it does not get smashed in the move) temp sender, idle cut solenoid, choke heater and throttle cable on carb, vacuum hose to brake booster, heater hose at back of head and the other on the lower rad return line. Depending on year you may have a vacuum line to the charcoal canister or fuel tank vent. You may also have hose to an air filter for the air pump. This should leave the engine to tranny bolts. Some motors had a gusset that shares some of the oil pan bolts at the back and extending down and bolting to the tranny bell for additional support. The metal plate sandwiched between motor and tranny will have several small bolts around the bottom to seal in the clutch/flywheel. There may be a ground strap on the rear exhaust manifold bolt to the body. That's 98% of it, may have forgotten something depending on year. edit Yeah the MMs now 99%. Quote Link to comment

Okay so this aft and eve, I Drained all the oil, the rest of the coolant, Took the fan blade off, fuel line thingy, starter, solenoid, some thing, that had a metal hook into the engine on the pass side at the front, and oil came out when I unbolted it. Carb, rad, battery, wiring, ground wire, all that shit was off weeks ago. Also read W58 I think stamped on the block...whats that mean again? Exhaust is rusted right on there, so hacksaw I guess... Had a duh moment, the donor truck is a 1980 720, I totally forgot it has front disc brakes! Could I not use those towards converting one of my 620s?! Radio Quote Link to comment
