you need to get a steam machine, those clean parts amazingly.

 

Shopping is always fun, except at the autoparts store!! lol! I always walk out with more than I went in for!!

What fan did you get?

 

so does my hand, and red scuff pad, and a spray bottle of degreaser

 

a 16" Imperial; luckily a new design I never liked the old ones they use to have, but it looks like they've changed. It fits PERFECTLY over the core, covering from top to bottom, and it has "Made in the USA" stamped on it, so that's a plus

and the wiring kit, I just grabbed the best one they had has a control box and a relay that plugs into it, an adjustable dial on it to set the temp, the temp probe, and has the input for the AC clutch, so it'll kick on with the AC

I also got a 3-position switch for it, so I can have it on fully auto, override on, or override off

 

lol trust me, i used my friends machine when i cleaned my tb..
holy crap, all the crap just fell off

plus playing with steam is fun


talking about steam, get on

 

Hey nice! That's the same digital thermo control I bought to fix my flex a lite with. It's awesome!!!

**HINT-make sure to seal the relay on to the control box. Mine got a little water on it and the relay started freakin out!!!**

 

good idear

once I get it set to the temp I want, I'll silly-cone er up

 

Also, if you run like a 20 gauge wire off the motor power wire you can have a LED light to indicate fan operation!!

 

hahaha, I thought about doing something similar while I was in the parts store looking that the wiring stuff; putting 2 LED's beside the switch: a green one for when it's on AUTO mode, and a blue one for OVERRIDE ON mode

but, I think I should be able to hear a 16" fan buzzing away, lol; me and the guys at the store were playing with it, hooking the wires up different ways on a battery and flpping the fan blade over, and it moves a LOT of air, and is pretty noisey

 

Oh yeah, I believe it! I like the indicator, it nice to see when it actually does come on. I can't hear my fan over my exhaust and stereo!!! lol!! When I swapped out my radiator it was amazing to see the difference of fan operations. Just fun I guess, no other reason! lol!

 

nice man!!

 

I also just put in quite a large order with ENGNBLDR. Tods a good guy. Can I finnish my rebuild before you?! haha granted I am doing alot less then you are. Keep up the good work!

 

yeah this has turned into quite the project but all the old stuff on it is in need of attention really... and ok, so I'm taking some of the stuff to the extreme a little, lol




got a little more painting done; just the lower intake and the manual fuel pump blockoff plate. the skys were getting dark, so I called off any more work after the last coat of clear, and put the things in the garage to cure












that is actually about 45 minutes after laying the clear coat down; that stuff really keeps the paint looking like it's wet! it's gunna be sthow sthparkely

 

looks good super

 

Looks to hot to touch!!!! LOL!!

 

thank ya buddy!

I think it's gunna look bitch'n bolted to a nice shiny new head


with the rebuilt shiny fuel injectors gleaming inside... and the "EFI" in bare aluminum on the top... and the freshly painted block... all in a CLEAN engine compartment...


DAMNIT I CAN'T WAIT...

 

i hate you haha.

 

lol, jk

 

Ahah!

 

looks righteous bro, reminds me somewhat of a stock, late 60's chevy small block perhaps.
