Hey everyone. It's been a while since my last post. I work off shore and have little time to work on the truck. In case you guys don't remember, I have a 1981 Chevy short bed 2wd pickup. I installed a 1995 Cummins, NV4500 trans, 5x12 injectors, #5 fuel plate, 181 delivery valves, soft AFC spring set, Mack plug, 60# valve springs, 4000 GSK, ATS 3 piece manifold and s362/s475 compound turbo setup along with a 5" straight piped exhaust system. I went with an air to water inter cooler simply because it involved no cutting to the truck (I originally planed on running an air to air inter cooler I modified). I got the thing almost finished up. I actually moved it under it's own power for the first time today (Idled it around for a second). I'll post pictures tomorrow. I have a question for you Cummins swap guys. I am not sure how I want to go with the throttle. The throttle is backwards from the gas engine. Meaning that I need to press the lever toward the radiator to increase throttle where as the gas engines throttle open by pulling the lever toward the firewall. I'm sure there is something missing from the throttle assy but I am having a heck of a time finding pictures of what it should look like. Does anyone have a good clear picture of the throttle assy of a 12v Cummins? Or perhaps have the parts I'm missing. I am missing everything pretty much. My fuel pump has only the lever on the pump itself. It is drilled and tapped for something to attach there but I'm not sure what. I have no linkage at all. I want to figure out what I'm missing to see if I will be able to adapt my factory throttle cable to it or if I'll have to go another route. ANY help would be appreciated. Here are a few old pics of the build, but I'll get updated pics to you tomorrow. Thanks again for any help you can provide.
