Lots has happened since the last update. That PS reservoir is really cool, and doesn't work. Cavitates the pump. Replaced it with a Lee PS reservoir. HAd a heavy equipment type spin-on fluid filter in the box's return line. It too cavitated the fluid and made the pump make noise. Removed it...
Ran across an item, or something like it, that should go in everyone's First Aid kit.

Found both it, and chinesium rip-off's, on amazon. For the 50 cents difference I'll buy the original.
5.0 or 5.8?
The OJ jokes get old pretty fast. Everyone thinks they're clever, and none of it is new.
Like an EB, beware of any lift that drops the radius arm brackets. Look at Solo Motorsports, Desolate Motorsports, and similar for real wheel travel kits that work. Brace your wallet, those...
These heads were torqued onto a short block and never run. Never had an intake bolted to them.

Dusty & Steffie's 4k mile trip pics thread got me to thinking about posting some pics from my and our various trips, something that I don't tend to mention or talk about much. These are pics that my wife Denise took, only a very few are mine. I'll try to keep them interesting and inspiring, I...
Oh yes! That's a really neat drive, I like that area a lot. For a while I debated trying to buy that cinder-block building and surrounding property that's North of the highway and *just* on the Nevada side of the line up there. It's too dilapidated to consider it now, but then it would have made...
To me the power point connection itself is a warning. Those circuits are fused for 15 amps max, and it wouldn't surprise me if the vehicle's wiring isn't designed for a sustained 15A draw.
I carry a fair number of Milwaukee M12 & M18 cordless tools in the Blanc-oh because I use it to support desert racing. Cordless tools are worthless w/o a charged battery so I started looking for a method to keep them charged in the vehicle and found this...
With the pending H-B conversion I ordered the Saginaw PS pump be rebuilt with a remote reservoir body on it. I plan to return the box and the H-B to the remote res individually. I've long thought that such a reservoir would benefit from having the usual de-aeration methods used in dry sump oil...
What is the name of the shop quoting you $600 for the carb? I know that there is at least one shop more or less down your way that specializes in off-road racing carbs and if it is they who are quoting you $600 I'd jump on that.
I'd take either Sherman or Walker Pass to get to 395 if starting from Porterville or anywhere further South of there. Sherman being the more "rustic" of those options.
Too bad CA168 doesn't go all of the way thru as originally planned.....
