So My Truck Had Some Started Having Some Electrical Problems

Constant Misfiring, Stalling When Under Load, Dying Headlights

Turns Out It Was The Old 30 Amper

So I Bought A 60 Amper Meant For A 81' 510

It Was A Simple Swap But The Fan Would Hit The Radiator Hose So I:

Extended The Arm An Additional 1"

Got A Belt That Was 1/2" Bigger

And A Flexible Hose That Would Go Under And Around The Alt

Prepped For Cuttin' And Weldin'

Well The Engine Is Already In Tip Top Shape

But My Hitachi Is On It's Last Legs

So Right Now I'm Saving Up For Some Weber DCOE 40's And Manifold

^^ If That Doesn't Happen Then A 32/36 DGEV :(

Remove All Of The Smog And Eventually Get Another Hitachi To Smog It

Updates? No

Setadpu? Yes :lol:

My Hitachi Went To Carburetor Heaven January 12, 2011 Approximately 3:25ish PM :(

It Might Sit In My Back Yard For A While Since I'm Going Back To Japan In April And The Plane Ticket Alone Is $1300

So I Guess I'm Riding My Bike To School For The Next 3 Months <_<

My Primary Jet Went Out About 3 Months Ago And Welded A Few Pieces Together So I Could Run The Truck Off The Secondary Barrel...

But Didn't Last Too Long, Now It Won't Start Unless Someone Pumps Gas From Under The Hood

And When It Does Turn On It Idles At 200-300ish, Revs Up To 1k And Dies Under Load :angry:

Well, Not Really An Update But I Found This Little Millermatic 150 On Craigslist For $100

The Owner Bought It For 500 Bucks, Used It Once And Had Been Sitting In His Garage For About A Year

He Said It Didn't Work But I Went To Go Look At It

It Was In Really Good Condition, Popped The Hood And Paid The Man

I Left Really Quick, Got Home, And All It Had Was A Bird's Nest :rofl:

Adjusted Everything And Ran A Quick Bead

Personally I Don't Like Or Trust MIG, But This Is Going To Make A Killer Tacker For Only $100 :frantics:

I Forgot To Take Pictures Of The Process But When I Re-Did My Exhaust On My El Camino I Recycled It's Old Exhaust On My 620 :P

2.25" Pipe, Magnaflow High-Flow Cat, Dynomax Muffler (Turbo Maybe???) And The Last 2 Feet Of Pipe Is 3"

I Will Get Some Video Once I Can Get The Truck Started <_<
