converted_to_datsun Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Got a little more done on the truck today.... Well for the truck at least. I made an awesome wending cart out of an old BBQ that was gonna get thrown out. Then I filled some holes on the back of my truck with weld. Sanded off the surface rust and shot it with some quick primer too. That tailgate is lookin like it has allot more butt cancer than I thought tho New welding cart Green haha Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 ive got a copupla round ports if you need one Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I've got an extra manifold lol just waiting to swap it on till I swap the carbs too. I'm going through the carbs thoroughly and making some block off plates then they'll be going on Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I picked up some white primer to make the corners not stand out as bad since canby is commin. Then I opened up the float bowls and cleaned then out, good thing I did cause one of the valves for the floats was stuck shut. Now I just need to make block off plates and pick up some paper gasket material for new gaskets. Planing on swapping them on over the weekend White Torn down Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Oh and I'm gonna look for another tailgate cause I'm not happy with the rust holes I've been finding... Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Come trade for the one on the black truck? Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 The black kc then went to scrap? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I've got that one too, and the black n blue one Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hmm I might have to do that. The blackn blue is a little dented but dents are easier to fix than rust. You have any round port intake/ exhaust gaskets left over from all those gasket kits you've bought? lol if you do I'll buy one off you Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 ive got a few gaskets from recent rebuilds, bring me the heater core, hoses, and 5 speed from my old truck and you can trade tailgates with me and ill give you a gasket? Deal? Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sounds like a plan dude. It'll prolly be Thursday if that works for you Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 it is what it is, but id like to get the stuff sooner so i can finish my truck Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I've got the parts pulled, just a matter of havin time to drop them off. If I get off early enough I can put them in your dads truck and pick up my stuff thurs Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Lemme know, jessi is home tomorrow too Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Ok got some more stuff done for the carbs today. I picked up gas line, hose clamps, a t, and some aluminum bar stock. Then I went to work making some block off plates for the emissions tubes and I made some stub stacks out of some stacks that were cut out of a filter. The nessisary materials Block off plates for the win Custom stub stacks haha Installed on the carbs Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 erm, stub stacks are called that because they are stubby velocity stacks. I dont think I have seen a velocity stack without a bell shape to it... But really the curve is the only real reason to have the stack, and is what gives the extra performance. Good gerb on the block off plates! Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well the horns inside stock filters have no curve... I can add a curve lol I have the perfect plan haha Quote Link to comment
