pharouh Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 nice truck. Has the back end been raised up? We can't have that around here :lol: What is that on the intake manifold? it looks like a block-off plate. Strange. I'm sure someone around here knows what it is. good luck! Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 yes thats an egr block off plate as for intake it looks like a stock l20 intake heater gadge? you mean temprature gadge? if thats what you mean it looks like nothing is connected to the temprature sender which would make the gadge not operate as for ignition try some new wires and plugs possibly cap and rotor the wires that are on it look like they have been on there since the truck was new (not really but they look old) it also looks like you have a points dist can we get a pic under the dist cap?

bonvo Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 good your temp gadge is connected but double check the sender pull it out (16mm i beleve) and try and move the connecter if it moves its bad autozone carries the one you will need for about $10 Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 good your temp gadge is connected but double check the sender pull it out (16mm i beleve) and try and move the connecter if it moves its bad autozone carries the one you will need for about $10 try 5 bucks or less, unless you want the "lifetime" warranty Quote Link to comment

slam_dat_sun Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 If I am not mistaken you can take a set off 4x4 720 leafs and put under the 620 and lower it 2" . I could be wrong but it seems that I read that some where on the forum . Could any body chime in on this that may know the facts on this matter please ? Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I would untwist those 2 wires. Current passing through twisted wires creates a magnetic field. Quote Link to comment

Farmer Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Nice looking 620 you got there. Looks like I might have to change my color scheme. Lots of trucks showing up Blue. But thats ok. Im far from paint. Hope everything works out fine. Larry Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Great looking truck!:cool: ...but please! throw some blocks back there! :D It should ride fine so long as you trim/remove your bump stops. If you dont you'll be slamming axle all day with 3'' blocks. Quote Link to comment
