Nice project, great looking ride. Your going to have fun restoring it as you see fit. Just take your time, run it for a while, throw it in a local parade and fix it as needed. Most of all enjoy your ride.

Have you seen and hear it run?

Nice looking rig. You would think that the seller would have fixed what's wrong with it if he really wanted to sell it. I would be leary about the purchase and the seller at this point. Offer a grand less than asking price. That should give you some wiggle room to get it properly repaired. If...

They sell them every day zeb. If I wasn't retired I would loan you one. The light bulbs are 24 volt but they will still shine with 12 volt. Bring 4 chain links for the added length needed for the safety chains. When you heading out?

The added water must be the "Plus" in the API CI-4 Plus

Is your cold advance solenoid working properly. Mine had the "mind of its own" revving symptoms when "cold started" . Turned out to be a finicky solenoid.

You mean a M715?

Most likely you have a cracked injection line or two at the flare nut end from over manipulating, over tightening, or from good old vibration. They are known for cracking at the nut. I replaced all of mine on the 1009 when I got it several years ago. I had 4 cracked ones when I pulled it apart...

Rick I believe the lines are glass lined for a reason; Same process like hot water heater tanks. Not actually glass but a special coating process. If they get bent/manipulated they will crack or crush the coating "like a porcelain sink or tub" that will flake off and could foul up your...

You may have to look for good used takeout injector lines for the 6.2. New ones are no longer manufactured. I'm not sure if the 6.5 lines will work without bending them. I understand that if you bend them you compromise the interior coating.

Great advise. I think now I will just pull it and rebuild the original. I don't trust these new oe ones they have advertised.

Disconnected them as soon as I found the alternator somewhat warm. Thanks

Thanks doghead, I was just researching and came to the same conclusion. I may just spring for a new AC Delco isolated ground $150.00 and get the original rebuilt for a spare.

Just took my 1009 for a nice 20 mile drive and when I got back and turned it off the Gen 1 light stayed on. Even with the key out. It starts fine, voltmeter reads in the green when running and gen 1 light goes out when running but comes on when I shut it off. Popped the hood and noticed...

I thought the volt meters only got their grounding through the steel mounting bracket to the back side of the dash plate.

So how far did the apple fall?

That is ingenious

Damn Lucky

Praying for you. Heal quick
