captain720 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Let me preface this by saying that I hate wiring (I literally installed had fog lights and had them on my rig for a full year until they fell off, never wired them.) My fender mounted turn signals are not getting power, the bumper mounted ones and the rear ones are working. What should I check? 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 You know both aren't getting power? Or just that they aren't turning on? 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 You know both aren't getting power? Or just that they aren't turning on? Confirmed no power via multi meter. Also tried new bulb. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Captain...driving along 82 in Yakima today towards Ellensburg, there is a salvage yard behind Walmart. Easily spotted was a blue/silver 2WD 720. Go get that ish. 2 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Next step is get a wiring diagram. 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Captain...driving along 82 in Yakima today towards Ellensburg, there is a salvage yard behind Walmart. Easily spotted was a blue/silver 2WD 720. Go get that ish. May take the engine and steering column. AR1 wrecking? I will try and call them Monday. Edit I need another motor because well I always need more motors, and I am gonna try running a blow through Weber set up with like 7psi. I may go forged pistons and then I might rock up to 12 psi, but then I would need to consider upgrading other stuff right? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I do t know the name of the yard as I am not local. Why not just swap in a KA? Quote Link to comment

captain720 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Also I believe the turn signal problem appears to just be the flasher. I have the Doug thorley header on, but no pipe yet. Man is it loud! I also some how accidentally fixed the tach while trying to fix the turn signals. Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Maybe the KA swap is easier and cheaper than all the shenanigans I am trying to pull off now? Although I have made some good you tube videos with all this insanity..... Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 KA will be less headache and cost, maybe, than whatever forced shenanigans you're trying to pull. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Shenanigans should always be chosen exclusively for the sake of shenanigans. If you need DD power and reliability, ka swap does make more sense. Even VG Swap. But shenanigans are great when they are an option. 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Actually a VG sounds like a lot of fun! Right now it's shenanigans just for the sake of shenanigans. I have 2 720s that run great so I just need one running at a time right? But I should probably try and make it to canby first..... Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 2.25 inch pipe, blue streak glass pack, and Doug Thorley header are on now. Also with a fancy stainless tip. :rofl: Tips add HP don't ya know? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Too bad a NapZ motor can't wind out enough to feel any of that horsepower. Add yellow stickers for torque. Quote Link to comment

I have a ratsun.net sticker so that has to be like 4 ft lbs. I will probably end up going KA or SR20 eventually. The Z24s are just soo cheap and easy (I wonder why?). 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Z24 is a good truck motor. 3 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Z24 is a good truck motor. I am keeping a Z24 in my 4wd indefinitely, I have a couple spares. :thumbup: It makes good torque, just put her in low and engage the clutch. This truck though is supposed to be fast, and you know what? It is, I am gonna play with this set up for awhile before any major changes. I really like it for winter driving too, rear wheel drive is hard to beat. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have some friends from and in Guam that build and race the Z24s. 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have some friends from and in Guam that build and race the Z24s. Are they on here? I would be interested to hear more about that, the main thing I care about is doing uncommon stuff, not the same basic stuff everybody does, but being original. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not that I am aware of. They are young people that come from Guam to attend The Universal Tech Institute (UTI) here. Robit a friend of mine that has an 84 720 just finished building a Z24 for it last year. He put custom rods, custom pistons, cam had some head work done and stuck a matchbox distributors. Almost forgot the twin side draft Mikunis. Here are some guam videos. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Sounds pretty good, man! Seems to be running and driving good too. 2 Quote Link to comment
