It's great to see you hanging with this thread Jeff. I know your busy
with the wife and the place your putting together. But when it comes to
this engine and engine install than you are the man. I would love to put one in
my Bronco. But without a shop to work out of at my age it won't happen.
I am just giving praise where it is needed Jeff. You prolly know more about
this setup than the Factory ever will. I hope all is well with you and would
love to see ya come through here again. I hope that was not a once in
a lifetime trip for you. And hope you can bring your wife next time.
Remember the camp ground when 70 Girl Scouts showed up and took
it over? Scared the hell out of both of us and couldn't get out of there
fast enough. Way to many hormones there for sure. Ruined our day.

 

LOL Rich! That was a little scary!
Hope to make it back up north again someday, but getting my wife to come could be iffy. Her idea of ruffing it is watching black and white TV at the Holiday Inn. Plus she is freezing when its 70° out. :-(

 

Well jeff when it hits 70% up here it's a hot humid heat. She will be just fine.
Heck she can nuzzle the wood stove if'n she wants. I really would love to
see ya all again. No way I see of me ever making it back down there again.
Life is to good right here. But you know that.

 

Someday Rich, someday!

 

Jeff and Chris, Thanks for the replies. So, just disconnect the lines from the ALDA and intake manifold and plug the manifold hole? I guess I can use the hole in the manifold for my boost pressure gauge.

Sounds like a plan. :-)

 

Thanks! Jeff

I ordered a pair of these badges from a Freightliner dealer to use on my truck. This is were I had intended on putting them, but they are a little too long. The fender to cowl seal will lap over the end. So I will probably put them on the lower edge of the back of the hood or the door.

They look great to me in that pic Mark.
What am I missing?

 

I don't have the fenders on yet. The lower right hand corner of the badge will be under the cowl to fender seal.
Mark

 

Looks like fun. How are the badges fastened on?

 

Fred, They have adhesive on the back. The light colored border around the badge is the peel off plastic on the back. I just stuck it there temporarily with a piece of rolled up masking tape.

I picked up my wheels at the powder coater this morning. When I picked out the color, I took the transmission cover with me to match the color. I chose the color chip that was as close as I could get without having the powder color matched. My ashtray is in front of the wheels, I think the color matches pretty good.

They look great! That's a color match for sure.

 

Wow! Those look sharp!
