The Jalopy Journal
Wow has it been a long time since I updated. Well after a stint on the other side of the country I'm back home and working on this thing. I'm...
Thanks I'll check it out.
Anybody?
Hey everyone! After a long lull in building my 37 Chev pu I'm back at it, and it's going to be finished this spring :). Just wondering if anyone...
Welcome from Alberta Canada. Gotta love the bobbed trucks. But I'm a little biased :)
Thanks for the info Bruce. I'll be sure to give this a shot.
Well it's not the accelerator pump. I swaped it out last night and it made no difference. I think I'm just going to rebuild the carb I have on my...
Curt B, Thanks for that info. JSanford1974 I've got another carb that came with the car that I'm going to rebuild. the carb that is currently...
Thanks for your input Johnny, I'll pull the top off tonight and have a look. Any other sugestions while I've got the carb apart? I've heard to...
Quick and dirty: 53 chev 150 3 on the tree. was running good all of a sudden runs like crap. Won't idle at all without constantly pumping the...
ha ha. Yeah I like the inliner, thats what she'll be running for quite a while. I got her running much better too. Turns out it was a combination...
would love to through a v8 under the hood but until I get my 37 done i don't really want to do much to the ole girl other than getting her running...
Up for the afternoon crowd. Oh and it's a 235 with a 3spd on the tree. Any recomendations/thoughts?
Thanks Guy's here are a few more pics. She isn't perfect but she's plenty good as a driver till I get my 37 done. On another note, I bolted the...
Hmm I'll have a look and report back. Thanks
The horn is activated by ground. When you push on the button it grounds in the steering column, but there needs to be a wire somewhere to...
Well I've got her all rewired. Took a lot longer than I though especially when just working on weekends. I have an issue with the horn wire...
My 53 was giving me greef as well. I deemed it to be the starter solenoid getting hot. I've since rewired the car to 12V and added a remote...
Quick little update. Rebel wire harness mounted. :) Next is tracing the column wiring and get the front section wiring into the engine bay.
I love it! I look forward to your chop tech. Once I get my 37 pickup done, it's on to the 53. Good job man!
Thanks for the offer edljames. I've got the blower motor but I'll let you know if I need the controls.
Thanks choptop. I think I might just pull the seat so I can get my head up in there.
Up for the evening crowd.
Hey guy's I'm going to be converting my car over to 12 volt in the very near future. The previous owner diabled the blower switch on the heater...
Love it!!! Nice job.
I drove her home to Mississauga from Ottawa. I'm kinda considering getting the HEI dizzy from Langdons Stovebolt once I convert her to 12 volt. Oh...
I think I'm gonna replace the points and condenser and go from there. Before she died it was running like it was out of gas (still 3/4 of a tank)...
Well I decided that it was time to get a set of wheels to get around on the weekend. I found a 53 Chev 150 2 door for a price that I could not...
It definately looks mean. But I think you might want to consider widening the rear fenders or loose them. Just mho.
+1 for the Miller. I have a 180 and I used it to build my whole truck. Body, light tubing, and frame. definately the way to go. You get what you...
