Thanks guys! I am very happy how it turned out as well.
I went with a small company called "STP coatings" in Amity, Oregon. His prices were very reasonable. $120 for all of it to be blasted and coated. Originally I was going to have Oregon Powder coaters do the job, but they didn't offer Ceramic coating.
I give this guy 5***** rating and highly recommend him to any local Portland guys.
So brake lines are re-routed. The rain stopped me from pulling the LSPV line, but it is now removed.
I moved on to finishing the block off plates. Question now, how do my heater lines route. I have the one going under the intake, what about the other 2 hoses?
This is awesome, I love that you are fixing this thing up nice, and it is interesting to see how totally screwed the PO had this thing...
Also I live not to far from you up in Tacoma, Wa. I would love to find more guys that live up around here and meet up. I just got my rig running again.
is the new copper line and port block off a vent reconfiguration?
Yes, exactly. Places the fuel vent higher so the carburetor doesn't cut out at high inclines. The mod can be found on MarlinCrawler "How to: Make a Weber climb a hill".
My problem is, I don't have a charcoal canister below the battery box anymore. Didn't think I would ever need it, so to the trash it went. Ideas anyone? Besides the ground...
I actually just pulled my charcoal canister if you want it I would sell it cheap...pm me if you want...literally just pulled it today...lmao
Dang! Thanks for the offer sgt.
I just went and bought a brass "T" and tapped into my fuel tanks return line. Not sure if this is the correct way, I don't see why it would hurt anything?
No problem. When I removed my can, I just bent the fuel tank line and connected it directly to the frame breather line. I may lose some fuel vapor, but I hate how crowded the engine bay is with just crap...all the unnecessary crap...
Before the total EGR delete, the crap pile I have of emissions equipment is ridiculous. So much unnecessary crap around these vehicles.
I went to my local hardware store to get a 1/8" NPT barb to do my front axle breather mod. Fitting cost $.89 and the hose(7/32" washer hose) was $4.00. Very cheap and easy mod, and beats paying for someone's kit.
