What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[JimBill]

Today im going to try to "unf%$k" the emissisons lines and routing. Unfortunately many of the factory emissions parts are MIA from the previous owners.





What are you missing? With aftermarket HEI and headers (no smog tubes), it looks like smog, at least to the California level, is not a concern. What do you need? I have quite a few oddball AMC V8 emissions parts laying around and 76 and 78 TSMs if you need to have something looked up. Send me a message if there is anything I can help you with.

In process converting a 76 360 to Howell throttle body injection, which greatly simplifies the number of smog devices required. If you do not need emissions testing, there is a company that has a throttle body kit with HEI distributer and timing control for about $1000 bucks. A heck of a deal for the capability. With the Howell, there is no timing control. I guess I paid premium for the golden California compliance sticker.

You just cant beat the looks of one of these things (the whole rig) I love the green color. Super nice rig my OB friend !

Is this a swing out kit you added to an aftermarket steel bumper yourself. If so where did you get it.

It is a kit from summit cruisers. Added to the original steel crossmember.

I got my TSMs. The heat riser for my carb choke is broken at the base on one of the lines. I can't find this part new so am looking at just epoxying or brazing the tube back together. I've also thought about just converting to a manual choke.

Mine hit 250000 km today (150000 miles) kinda proud of my little car :)

The pic was taken at 5:53 am and it's 8:52 pm at the time I'm posting this.

Added some gas struts to the JT's hood for a more civilized experience. They easily lift and hold the hood; left the little stick just in case.

Yesterday I replaced both upper control arms, new greaseable upper ball joints, the passenger side CV axle, new Bilstein shocks, and rotated the tires.

Busy day.

Need to get it to the alignment shop now.

2100/2150 2 bbl or 4350 4bbl? Which of the two tubes? Sounds like the tube that goes to the choke housing providing heat to it. Plate and manifold loop tube good? I seriously do have a lot of oddball AMC V8 parts. 2bbl choke heat tubes are sitting on a cookie sheet tray in my shop with other crap just taken off for the slow motion Howell project. The 4 bbl ones are sitting on the manifold next to my garage door (It's too heavy for me to want to move it anytime soon, I may just dig a hole and push it in). So let me know!!

Thanks, ill check it out. I hope is affordable for me. Regardless down the toad I know I will get one.

I did some maintenance on my 4runner today. Replaced the fan clutch, replaced drive side CV boot, rotated my tires and finally got around to installing my diff breather

Tried out a Range AFM disable device In thecopcar. It disabled the automatic fuel management system, keeping the engine on all 8 cylinders. I like how it smoothed out the cruise.

Finally got a lift installed. 2.5 inch true dual rate with rock sport shocks from Metalcloak. Also put the black grill on.

Installed a new fuel injector, 2 new ruthenium hx spark plugs and a new blue streak coil in hole #3, reset all engine values and hope for the best. I’m hoping it’s not the lifters starting to take out the cam shaft, damn hemi problem. Picking up a tuner this afternoon to shut off the mds system too. Figured while it was in the shop might aswell wash her and finally install the axe and shovel holder too.

Just finished doing the wrap on my new outback overhead console. Still got a fair bit to do to it yet but it looks so much better then the OEM gray and it matches the bonnet, roof and mirrors.

Got two M.O.R.E. Hide-a-steps installed, on front driver and pax sides. First took a couple hours to install, the second 30 minutes... Pull the entire rock rail and support it on jack stands nearly in place to allow the step base to be weaseled in.

What a mess under there!

2bbl carb. Yeah it's two tubes. One goes to the carb choke assembly piece on the side and i forget where the other goes right now. But it's a single unit. They both go to a plate bolted to the intake manifold and they both look like they were attached to it at one time. I'll try to get a photo and post it up.

Got the tub the rest of the way painted. It's not the greatest. Its a "100 foot" paint job. I tried my hand at bondo for the first time.....you can tell

Looks good to me, but it's dark out :)

Looks better than the red Jeep that rolled off of Black Bear pass recently.

Spent some time tweaking my rack setup today. Every time I set up my tent I have a hard time walking around. Specifically on the traction boards side. Since I had them flush with the bedrails it made it impossible to walk around. So I added some super strut near the top of my rack. I think other than different mounting hardware it will work great. I also had another member come over to help me put it all back on the truck. @Jonathan01 thank you for your help bud!
