well it has been a long time coming

[nick]

Ended up having some free time after work today got the new intake put on with the help of a friend.

 

[nick]

Ok so gt a little done on the Scout to day. New intake is on along with the new valve covers. But I do have a question dose any one have a diagram of the vacuum system for the intake?
Thanks

Is it a 74 ?

 

[nick]

No its a 72

 

[Danny Phillips]

Hey nick, if your Scout is a 72 you don't have to worry about the vacuum system except for the distributor and vacuum booster no smog in lake county on anything earlier than a 75. That's why I went with the 74. If your going to build a new fuel tank what are you going to do with the one that I have of yours? Just think of me when you decide. , Danny

 

[nick]

Hey Danny you will be the first one on the list if I get rid of that tank lol.

 

[nick]

Hey all was away in vegas for a work conformance, got back late Friday night so I didnt get much done this weekend but a little is better then nothing. Went to the shop with Mike and we got the main body of the rear bumper done.

 

[Danny Phillips]

Thanks nick, let me know when you're going to be out at the ranch and I'll bring the tank by. Danny

 

[nick]

Well I didnt get a lot done on the Scout this week. But I had a free couple hrs and a good friend to help me rebuild the card. So that will be going on next week. But what I am doing is heading to sacramento in the am to pic up a couple things and I hope to be coming home with some good used 33/12.50/15 tires.

Well I will post another update next week
thanks

Well had a late night on Sunday, went to sac then drove to chico but ended up finding my tires and wheels for a good price. They are a bit old but have around 90% tried on them. So got back in to town around 2am Monday morning and them after work got them put on. After 4 years its coming to gather and looking how I have been wanting it to look. Hope you all like it.

 

[nick]

[Danny Phillips]

Where do you think you're going nick, maybe linda and can tag along. So glad you got it road/trail ready. I need to get that gas tank back to you, would you like me to drop it of at the ranch? Danny

 

[nick]

Hey Danny thanks for dropping off the tank, sorry I missed you. Im up for a drive but still have a ways to go on geting her ready for the open road lol .

 

[nick]

Well had a great weekend, my two friends Mike, nik , jon and jonny gave me there weekends to work on the rear bumper. We made a lot of head way. But best of all is I drove the Scout to the welding shop. That was the 2nd time I have ever driven her. Felt great, but now have a list of other things to do lol breaks being on the top. Lol well almost there....
