I am looking at gauges right now and am considering the glowshift. Had a question about the fuel level guage...what setting did you end up going with? How is it working?

Per the manuals, fuel level sender range is 2.8 to 63.2 ohms. Minor difference from what you posted. Nice work on the build!

This is the one we've got. They will need to know the ohms when you order and don't forget to use the order code below to get your discount.

After many phone calls and conversations we found out that there were 2 wires that weren't hooked up. Once Dave got those connected...........

A big THANK YOU goes out to Dave, Eric and the man of the hour Jim.

Thanks, but I still have a long way to go. Lots to do and only 14 days left. I don't think I'll make it but I'll give it hell.


I got the bottom cover on the engine compartment installed and now that I have the engine running I can fill it with water. Before filling I added some Purple Ice and removed the bleed screw. Dug the garden hose out and filled it up. This weekend sometime I'll get it outside and run it up to temp. and bleed the system.

My defroster blower finnaly came in so I got that installed along with the hose. The blower is a 3", 170 cfm Detmar unit and it puts the air out.

Dave finished up the wiring so I finished installing the blower switch and split loom.

Motors in and running, it's just suspension left, right? The only hard part there is the torsion bars. Drill some holes in the rockers, and get those puppies in. Don't worry about rear bushings - I'm not. The rest is easy. Let us know if we can help!
