Welcome back Carter

[ProjectM880]

it lives, how much ice cream did it take? 

[crazzywolfie]

Well, buy another truck of course.   

Seriously, swap out mufflers since these tractor mufflers are kinda getting soft, an alignment, swap rear axle for 9-1/4 with LS and 3.55 gear, and get state inspection.

Then move on to the 76 RC.

lol. sweet. should be fairly smooth sailing from here tho since you should be fairly familiar with all the other work.

Setting the timing is tough. Its a new cam and I tried to set it at 12* btdc like the sticker but it backfired.  Runs nice right now but I can't even see the timing mark.

If you can get it on the road, take it to the Dodge Whisper Aka Noah. he can get it dialed in real quick. No Ice Cream Required

[SixGun]

He was right. Advance the timing did the trick. 

Thanks everyone

So when do we get to see you doing burn outs?

[SixGun]

Just talked Ernest. He said, "Good job, but how much did you pay a mechanic to do it for you?"

I told him all it cost was ice cream. Lol

Sounds great... I will have your bill ready  .... that will be an awesome machine soon 

[ProjectM880]

I'm still waiting on burn out pictures 

[SixGun]

Ha ha...video evidence is to avoided.  Shhhh....he's a sleeper.

Still some work to be done to be roadworthy. Ignition goodies are on the FedEx welcome wagon as we speak.  Gotta put the radio, fuse block and tuck the wires back where they belong too. Alignment and inspection too.

I don't for see any burnouts with these tall highway gears.  Still need to get the 9-1/4 under it after an overhaul and crush sleeve eliminator.  Noah are you ready for a little axle work?

Bring it... you have bearings and seals to go with the crush sleeve eliminator?

[SixGun]

Seals yes, bearings no. Started collecting parts for rear 9-1/4 for 76 RC.  The one for Carter is a 93 axle and 76 RC is using a 91 axle. I figure seals should be the same.  Also, I believe they both are limited slip.  That's rebuildable also if I'm not mistaken.

I'll get my shopping list in order.

bearings are certainly recommended if we are going in  (but not necessarily required).... if the axle is tight you probly should leave it alone lol.... if it has some slop in it, the pinion and carrier bearings are a must.

the limited slip is probably buildable but you need to know what kind it is, and it may not really be that necessary....

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/spz-58026/overview/ .... just plan on one of those.... and you should pull the axles to inspect them for wear on the wheel bearings/shafts before you bring it....

I was just looking at that exact same kit on Randys R&P.  Summit is cheaper by $50- wow.

yep Randy's is high unless you are buying from a shop...then they are still probably higher lol
