Since we're tossing guesses around, I think you lost the bead seal of a tire (on... something- the parts runner jimmy?) and couldn't get it to *foof* back seated, but you got it to seat using a ratchet strap, or a comealong or somesuch around the circumference of the tread.

What's going on in that photo? Pining about a dusting? As best I can tell, the truck wasn't anywhere that would be in the background of that photo- the van isn't in the pic, and the van was gutted right nest to the dump truck. IDGI

Rotten Cookies posted:Can you take that arm from the box and flip it? Was coming to post this. E: if you can make the flip happen with a conical washer and a locknut, give me your best guesstimate of the angle and I can make (Stainless?) and overnight the cone washer. E2: or drop ship a drag link and I can make that a work instead. I have a pretty good shop at work. glyph fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Dec 10, 2016 |

djdanno13 posted:So we really need ai help on this one. Online sources talk about moving the steering box over a max of 1.5 inches. Apparently they were using different headers however and the closest we can set the box right now is 3 inches which is literally touching the header. Take a look at the included pics but the biggest issue by far is the angle on that pitman arm. It's maxed out. Short of getting a new manifold does anyone have any ideas? This is like project ending type poo poo right here so we really need all brain power on this one. Thanks guys. So, I've dug into this a little.  Since I'm unclear on the names of these things, I'm going to refer to the arm between the yellow circle and the red circle as the "pitman arm". The linkage with dashed green on it, between the red circle and the blue circle I'm going to call the "drag link". Earlier I was talking about flipping the entire pitman arm to connect to the drag link on the frame rail side of the arm. like so:  Unfortunately, it's not that easy, the drag link is 'handed', the current one won't work. As best i can tell under the nut (yellow in the picture above) is a splined ('chevy' splined- 32 splines total, but at 36 spline spacing with four fat splines at 90* intervals) hole that is not tapered. Is there clearance for the arm to go the other way, so it schwanks towards the frame rail? Also, as best I can tell, there isn't a taper (6 degree for chevy?) anywhere on the pitman arm, instead there's a ball that's pressed and peened into the pitman arm. If the arm can flip around the splining without hitting the steering box or the frame rail, you'll need a new drag link that has a twist the opposite direction left vs right handed?. If the arm CAN NOT flip on the splining, as I see it, you have a few options: * Press the ball out (details linked above), which sounds like a bit of a bitch, and press a new ball in (near the bottom of linked page) on the frame side of the pitman arm. As an aside, what happened with the ball end dealie for the clutch fork? That site, classicpartsusa has those too.. * Give up on the pitman arm you've got right now and order a pitman arm (ideally a FLAT one, without the schwank the current one has so you can set it up with the large end of the tapered hole towards the frame rail, but, if you can work with the zig going towards the frame rail side, you could run it inside out) from a 54+ steering box with a tapered drag link hole (as best as I can tell with a quick search, the splining is the same, should swap right over) and use an adjustable tie rod sleeve to deal with the left handed nature of the drag link you'll need- I say this assuming the drag link hits the steering linkage proper via a tapered hole (the interface in the blue circle above). It's really early, and there isn't any caffeine in me, but does that make any sense? Also, I have 24/7 access to a fully stocked machine shop so please, don't hesitate to ask. Dave, I sent you a friend request on Facebook yesterday maybe. I'm Dan H. E: Could this work? http://www.classicpartsusa.com/category/1951_Truck_Parts_Pitman_Arms E2: no, it won't, or not well, that's a short rear end arm for a power steering conversion. E3: if you get the hole to hole length right, this should do ya, tapered for a tie rod end on both sides: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Corvair-Pitman-Arm,37582.html E4: of course you'll still have to fab the mount for the steering box itself, but that seems easy enough... glyph fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Can you bodge something out of tandem length bicycle brake cables and something like 'knarps' as a cable end?

I'm going with boner anger. Right along with motor-bacon.

Running a cotton ball inside a tire is a great way to find if there's something poking through the carcass.

DICK DICER posted:Every flat so far has been due to a different, located and corrected puncture At the risk of beating a very dead horse- are you clocking the tire to the rim when you put it back on? Lining up the label to the valve isn't just an OCD thing; it makes it easier- only two areas to check- to find a burr in the tire if you have a flat.

ExplodingSims posted:What are you talking about? That's been done for a while now. It's already ran last year. Must have missed the follow up, I only seem to remember a triumphant late night YouTube video Dave had posted of it running, then the follow up video the next day showing just how kludged it was. Sounds like there was more after that with the truck running with the van engine, guess I'd missed that. Sorry
