Those aren't 4ks ^ as there is no small inner spring. The fourth spring.

Did you remove the all of the shims when you swapped them? I dont see them in the picture.

No shims.... so I'm thinking I didn't do the swap. Can't even find them damn directions. :doh:

i have a 160 pump out of a 94 and the stock gov. springs look like that, and a have believe a 160 pump is also in a 95 and that pumps gov. spings are different the middle and outter are the same, but the inner spring is 2 small springs instead of one big spring and the 95 also had a 2 piece sping set. hope that helps you.

I thought you were suppose to reuse the shimes. I know with the 3k gov springs i did. 4k could be different.

That's what I get for not writing stuff down...

:nail:

 

[HRDROKN]

OK, I got the gov spring issue figured out... thanks for all of your inputs!

I have been working on miscellaneous items, such as steering and throttle items, which brings up an inquiry... does anyone have the linkage assembly for a P-Pump laying around? I hate to have to fab out all new stuff!

Made a new pedal mount...

And fitting the steering shaft...

:Cheer:

Great thread!!

 

[HRDROKN]

Finished up getting the injection lines cleaned and installed along with the injectors...

:Cheer:

 

[HRDROKN]

Also been working on the dual feed lines. Got the why block mounted... feeding a -6AN to the front and a -8AN to the side port. The Y-block is being supplied by a -10AN to the AirDog.

Waiting on fittings to finish it up....

:Cheer:

Looks like you're getting real close. Think you'll have it driving in a month or so?

Do you have a slip in your steering shaft? If it's solid with no slip or rag joint the column, U-joints and box will take a beating.

You're funny!

Lets see what I have left...

No brake lines or hydroboost hydraulics.
No wiring, have a complete painless system to install.
No cooling system (only radiator).
No Intercooler, determining location for a water to air setup.
No steering hydraulics, reservoir etc.

I have more work then I care to think about!

:blahblah1:

Get back to work man, I want to see this thing run... It's not gonna finish itself now J/K

Turn some football on in the garage grab a beer and start turnin wrenches. This is by far the most impressive swap I have seen

Ya... going from the garage to the house for some football action isn't working out so well. LOL

Nice choice for the motor color... ha ha looking good..

Power steering issues still....

After 3 days of research... I'm giving up on the Eaton BB pump as they seem to be getting phased out.. so I have a Vickers vane pump in mind with the needed SAE "A" flange, 5gpm and 1500 psi. Just need to find a dealer to order through.

Spent the better part of yesterday out at pick n pull... to my surprise they had 5 bump sides, so I picked and pulled every miscellaneous bracket, bolt and flange that I seem to have miss placed since this project started.

Today I started on the roll bar....

:Cheer:

 

[HRDROKN]

I got my throttle cable in and some pieces to put together the throttle linkage...

I found the rest of my parts for the MC & hydro at my local pick n pull...

:Cheer:

 

[HRDROKN]

Well crap... wasn't happy with the standard width cage stuff, so I'm adding 2" to the width.

 

[thebullet83]

this should give you something to look forward too!

sweet!!

 

[HRDROKN]

Sent my steering gear out to PSC today for a rebuild and set up for hydro assist. And finally have my power steering pump issues solved.

I had the guys over at Straight Line set me up with this Vickers vane pump...

Mounts to my SAE A flange adapter...

Fits nice...

Using a PSC reservoir...

:Cheer:

 

[HRDROKN]

Looks like I have two options for mounting this water/air intercooler.

Above the motor, which will make valve adjustments and such a little more complicated...

Or on the fender, which may complicate the addition of a second charger if I go back that direction...

Hmmmmm....
