The red top has to be worth 10hp.![]()
I keep meaning to post some feedback on the Saginaw conversion- idk if you are going that way- but there is a negative. With my manual when it really lugs and idles down, the power steering just stops working. As long as I keep the rpm’s over about 600ish it is fine, but below that it just drops off. That might not be a problem for you- and it also might be related to the small pulley, but it is definitely a reality in my setup.
What is this Saginaw conversion? I run ram assist and would love to run a Saginaw pump.I keep meaning to post some feedback on the Saginaw conversion- idk if you are going that way- but there is a negative.

I completely forgot about KOH!!! Wish it was closer so I could do a day trip too late to do time off or anything, dang.Well in prepping JP for KOH, it's time to let the original grill go. I cut the center out and installed expanded metal mesh in the center. I think it was one of the first mods I did, (it's here somewhere documented) but after years of abuse it's practically falling off and broken in multiple places. I'll never be able to match the paint, so I'm just painting a factory chrome one I had hanging in the garage black.

Not sure how I didn't notice this and still trying to figure out, how I even did this.
That is 1/4" wall DOM and a level table. How did I bend that? I guess it's been like that for a while.
