project tribute

got some cleanin up to do. but coming around.

Not too shabby

thanx man. not to bad other than that dirty oil covered motor next to that shiney carb. lol. a mans project is only as good as he makes it tho so still lots of work ahead of me to get this thing done. i didnt do the head swap with the carb like i wanted but ill getter done.

What brand wheels are they? I like those 5 spokes a lot! what size are they?

im not sure. i got them on craigslist and i saw them months b4 i gotem. i likem too but they are pretty wide. i think i have clearance as they are pretty deep too. tires might stick out a lil wich i like. got to get the right lug nuts and get some skins b4 i can install them.

oh and they are 15s

been having to let dad take my truck to school and i been ridin with the old lady. runs good with the weber other than the small sputter issue. after reving from idol, rpms drop below idle more and more each time i hit the gas, and slowly picks back up if i let idle. and a stumble at cruise throttle or very light throttle. but im thinking its my vac. advance unit. i think it seemed stuck last night when i looked at it. when im pumping the throttle to take off, each time i pump it it gets les responsive. and a little more shakey. im convinced my timing isnt advancing as ive set it many times and have found no leaks. would these symptoms be consistant with a bad advance unit?

just a little update, got the weber tuned to perfection and got the fucker to advance, all is well, need to replace my ball joints. one of my tierods are good but i dont member wich one i replaced. lol. still waiting on that and an alignment b4 i get into looking for new tires for my new wheels. they are 15x9 i think and i am VERY concerned as to wether or not the dam tires will rub the inner fenders when i turn. should be ok if i get skinny enough tires. and they should stick out an inch or two from the fenders for a stance look. wich is what i was going for but i gotta measure back spacing to tho. after the wheels i might lower if i have room. been wanting to for ever but my ubolts from my other truck are bent all to hell so i cant get my blocks off. and i gotta do my head swap somtime. been putting it off forever. i gota lota shit to do. i know im missing shit.

This weekend if its warm enough I'll shoot some pics of my wheels lock to lock for you. So you can see what kind of room I have on my inner fenders.

driv. side wheel turned all the way right


pass. side wheel turned all the way the the right


hope this helps with your wheel fitment front is 15x7 215/60r15 and rear is 15x7 235/60r15. I think all the wheels have 0 offset and 3.5 backspacing I got them second hand, so I never measured to see exactly what they are.
