Akslowroller Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 What's the part number on your wires? I just got the same ones and they are too short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks Jason! I think that's the part number right on the top of the box. 79614 It said these are the ones made for headers and our motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akslowroller Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ok I figured that was the number bet wasn't sure. Yeah some how when I ordered then from summit they came up with something different. When I searched the part number they sent me they are for a 2009 escalade. Thanks though.

BlueAKSSS Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Those gauges look great, what brand are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcapone Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Those gauges look great, what brand are they? Depo Racing. I changed my mind 2 times from all digital to these because I wanted a digital gauge that displayed a number so you can reference it faster when glancing at it and driving, but also liked the traditional look of a standard needle gauge...finally landed on these. The research I did and reviews from owners who have them seemed solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Sucks working on Sunday but, it's getting close to done! Good thing too is, since Randy started this build at my shop, I've had a couple of other Rods' come in for work. Yesterday I had a 383 stroker Camaro and day before a 63' Suburban showed up. Nice having this kind of stuff to do. The Maggie project on the SS is going good. Probably finish it tomorrow and then it looks like we'll be off to Topeka Friday for a test run. Good work bro! Hey Ralph. Sorry to be so late with this but welcome to the site. That's some mighty pretty work you and randy, (And your guy's), are doing on the truck.

rcapone Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Got a full 8 hrs. in on the Converter swap and almost finished! I surprised myself on that one since the 4L80e swap took me like four or five days! Here's my progress today... [/url]">http:// Bye bye 3 bolt flywheel and Circle D!

[/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://http://s1359.photobucket.com/user/randyc/media/Transreinstalled.jpg.html'> Ended the day with re-installing the cross member. Still have to button things up: Install inspection cover, drive shafts, transfer case and exhaust. Should be done by lunch time tomorrow! I can't wait to see exactly how this new and much tighter converter feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
