Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
thanks! would like to have it reliably useful.
so, ive permanently wired the starting system, and solved a massive oil leak I was having, so now the think can be driven for a distance over a block without fear of draining all the oil out on the street.
Power steering I was hoping to have done today, but im running into continuous issues with those dam metric fittings on the pump. (scrapped the idea of hanging the GM pump, getting the pulleys lined up was not a simple affair, decided I was reinventing the wheel)
so I have a custom high pressure line ready, and my plan is to use the MB fitting on some 3/8ths brake line and do a double flare on the lip, which "should" seal on the inverted flare style fitting that this pump seems to have. Can anybody identify exactly what this metric fitting is called they are using? would be nice to just be able to buy the correct part. I think my route will work, but just in case it doesn't.
after power steering, whats left to do is-
wire up charging system
wire up glow plugs
finish exhaust system
install gauges and or get gauges to work
figure out speedo
swap rear end ring and pinion (long term)
I get the charging and exhaust done and its a daily driver though.
