MID12sSSS Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 that the trickflow steam vent kit? looks very similar to mine. i think mine was the model before this one as it was almost a year and a half ago... The only thing I used from the trick flow kit was the 90 degree fittings. Lol. The kit was pretty much junk. I used summit -4 braided line, "shark" T fittings, and 3/8 band clamps.. Turned out ok I think. Trick DOES make a nicer kit that comes with braided line and whatnot. I recommend getting that kit instead of the cheap one I bought. It didn't even come with the male fittings that connect to the steam ports on the heads. And those were like $14 a piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WantaSSS Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Haha that'd be just perfect! Might have to grab one and put this one in the back seat as a spare. Fragola fittings. They come in like 4 colors. I highly recommend them. They're very easy to build and swivel 360*. Only downside is they're $20 a fitting I looked around for a little bit looking for a nice coil bracket. Found models for $150+ all day long.... Got these for $50 from ICT and they're awesome. Sturdy and they polish to chrome with no effort at all. Here's a link to the eBay ad. Or you can get them directly from ICT. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=141593047597 Summit fuel hose then?

I had one come apart thank god I had an extra one Thanks. I emailed Gates about their "racing" division. They have blue timing belts and serpentine belts up to 80" for imports and whatnot. But nothing for my application. They don't even offer 8ribs in their "racing" belts. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcapone Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah buddy...won't be long now!! Oh yeah, you're in Alaska so you're probably thawing all over the place. It's been in the 70's here in KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah. See the packing blankets under the garage door?... I tried chipping a path for it to drain out of the driveway, but it keeps freezing and backing up and flooding into the garage. It's back to being -20 here. So the packing blanket is a giant ice block. But the garage it warm... Started my wire tuck today... Let the fun... BEGIN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always rewarding to clean up the wiring, just pay close attention to the grounds as I'm sure you know. Did you find the nice braided split loom I mentioned or are you going to run the plastic regular stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MID12sSSS Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I got a little scrutiny for putting my FPR behind the TVS... My buddy came across this and we got a laugh out of it. 1969 Camaro in Hot Rod Magazine, with the FPR mounted right behind the TVS. Kinda neat Edited March 13, 2015 by MID12sSSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
