In this video I install a AFR gauge in the original gauge cluster of the K10 pickup . I love the way it takes the guess work out of tuning . Always better to have the information than not.

That shop coffee delivery system is awsome! Very discrete 🙂

You might want to try a product called "Plexus" to clean and restore the plastic. Plexus was originally developed to keep aircraft windshields and side windows looking fresh and new. Plexus is actually a wax that penetrates into any pores that might be in the plastic surface and fill small scratches to restore plastic surfaces. I use it on my motorcycle windshields and it keeps them in a like new condition. All of the small scratches that make windshields look hazy are gone. In your case, the life expectancy would be very long (maybe a year or more) since there is no exposure to the elements.

@mattmanyam Год назад

Plexus is a fantastic product.

@pepcatch11 Год назад

I agree. If Keenan Tatro of Tatro Machine recommends, it has to be good👍

@mattmanyam Год назад

I should add that one of the biggest benefits of using Plexus to restore an item like that, is that it dissipates the static that builds up on the item, causing them to require constant cleaning (often with aggressive cleansers, that contribute to the haziness of the item.

@jservice6594 Год назад

If it were me, I would have done just fine with the instruments and then crawl under the truck, get all turned around and weld the bung onto the drive shaft. There's a bunch of things I can no longer do and chew gum at the same time. That list is growing. Nice job, Steve.

@andrewwilliston5798 Год назад

From what the truck was to what you've made it to is really inspiring. I really enjoy all your videos, truly entertaining and informative

@mkidd8806 Год назад

At the 16:20 thru 16:24 your love of your life quietly put a cup of coffee on the work bench. YOUR A BLESSED COUPLE! GOOD SUNDAY video. Thank you.

Thanks Ron👍

@patrickcolahan7499 Год назад

Nice installation. Very clean looking. Truck really looks and sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

@davebarron5939 Год назад

Very good, I am looking at this as a way of long term monitoring an LS swap, appreciate the video, and agree with the NO "boy racer" look. Cheers!

@oregonexpat Год назад

Steve! Unexpected but very welcome! Thanks for the extra work! If you find it helpful, toothpaste can do a good job of taking out the scratches and hazing from your transparent plastic gage shield. Saves a few dollars. And has a nice minty fragrance, Lol.

@marklatham5692 Год назад

I was actually thinking that a headlight restoration kit would take out those scratches and add some UV protection at the same time. Hmmmm, I wonder how many other comments have said the same thing. lol

@kibi15 Год назад

Saturday AND Sunday! I could get used to this, thank you very much!

@stevebark4873 Год назад

Great idea Steve. A couple of suggestions though. When I cleaned up the cab of my recently purchased 2000 Ford Ranger “in a basket” I also cleaned the instrument cluster. In the trans gear indicator window I used a label maker to name the truck “ Judy’s truck “. I also used headlight polish to polish the instrument cluster lens. Made it look much nicer.

@frankmarson2425 Год назад

you beat me to it I have even used a fine cut and polish with a buff

@rolandbraithwaite1027 Год назад

used to use a soldering iron for plastic welding

@oregonexpat Год назад

So have I. Does a pretty good job as long as the tip is clean.

@hugosales8102 Год назад

The irony of the Holley EFI sweater when working on a carbureted truck, tho

@mdouglaswray Год назад

NICE work with the plastic welder - not a lot of folks even know what those ARE. Beautiful install. That truck is near show quality! Thanks for letting us watch!

@bobblack3870 Год назад

The clear plastic haze: check out videos on how headlight plastic can be restored. Sanding, buffing, clearcoat might be a permanent fix.

@theshed8802 Год назад

Nice job Steve. Just remember that 12.5:1 is a full load a/f ratio. 14.7:1 gives best emissions, and 15.5:1 is for fuel economy. Lean on cruise, within reason, is what you are trying to achieve. Some of the later efi stuff is much leaner than that when in lean cruise mode. As you load the motor up, and it goes lean, then you adjust the power valve circuit add the extra fuel. Changing the power valve brings the circuit in sooner or later, as required. Jet changes are easy, which is why we do them the most, but we do tend to do them to cover other issues. Often because we don't know any better. Properly setting up a carby can send you miles down a rabbit hole... regards Greg

@gbentley8176 Год назад

Seems your new family member has turned out to be an excellent companion for you when you are in your workshop. My old Alsation always lay in the sawdust heap when woodworking, never in his bed. Thanks for posting. Am enjoying my tea from a certain squirrel mug. Best from the UK.

@elsdp-4560 Год назад

Thank you for sharing. Very nice addition to the square body. Nice installation. Very much enjoyed.👍👀

@glennmoreland6457 Год назад

That's a great truck

@josephking6515 Год назад

I was shocked, just shocked I tell you that when you were plastic welding that you neglected to apply any plastic flux to make for better joints. I now have to go and take some Prozac to bring my equilibrium back to normal. You could have alleviated my apprehension Steve if you had just applied some plastic welding flux. I hope you sleep well to night after you egregious omission. 😁 ( _10 minute later_ ) WOW.....cool man.......😎........rock on. 🤙 *Thank You* for the video Steve. That seems like a much better system than the EGT gauges we had in our piston engine aircraft that we leaned to 50° lean of peak if I remember correctly.

@johnmccanntruth Год назад

2 in one weekend, cool! Nice install putting that in the gauge cluster, I would have never thought to do that, or attempted it.

@staciedziedzic8706 Год назад

Hi! What a nice surprise seeing you on a Sunday! My dad loved cars! My favorite was the Audi! He took me for a drive in it and that was awesome! Thank you for the upload!

@PG-ku9qd Год назад

Damn, Steve! Multiple videos in a row. Turns out you made my weekend that much better. Thanks!

@mdvener Год назад

Very informative video. Fall colors are great. I'm in southwest Florida and your trees have more leaves and are upright most of ours are laying on there side from Ian.150 to 200 mph winds. We were very lucky, so much more than most. But really enjoy Saturday morning with you. I learn something every Saturday. Thanks so much.

@smplyizzy Год назад

Interesting but I would have saved up for one of those Holly EFI systems and just replaced the carb.

@paulcopeland9035 Год назад

The "affordable" Sniper system is around $1500 at Summit. Very nice setup and a problem solver in a lot of cases. Steve's situation is different. He has a new carb and engine. It is running quite well. He is comfortable with carburetor operation and adjustment. A well maintained carbureted system will work perfectly and save him quite a few bucks!

@220years7 Год назад

Thanks!

@ApacheHavoc25 Год назад

Plastic welding is very common in semiconductor industry for example! It's used for welding tanks or double containment boxes to prevent chemical spills. A very nice tool to have. :) As always a very nice video Steve!

@halfnelson6115 Год назад

Steve, if you ever have your dash apart again you could try rubbing compound on that clear cover. Might take away some of that haziness. Truck sounds great bro. Great job on the resto.

@AirfixLtd Год назад

There was a lot of MAGIC in this edition Steve: Firstly, @ 07:30 mins you magically filled your fuel tank just by moving the fuel gauge needle! - Wow, I wish I could fill the fuel tank of my truck up so easily and cost effectively. Secondly, @16:23 mins, magically a refreshing drink arrived on your bench.

@jonathanjones7319 Год назад

Your truck reminds of the show from 80's. Can't remember for sure, I'm thinking fall guy.

@donald4416 Год назад

Hey that really cool gauge I can install that in my '88 suburban So I can dial it in lot better that doing what you said by ear, smell exhaust, spark plug color etc. I'm 66 age and old school suburban. And hey in your video your speedometer was not working might want check hook up.

@bigkenny66 Год назад

Our modern FADEC systems in autos can be really good depending on what they are tuned for. Lean cruise is great and is why my '07 Ford V6 gets 28 MPG on the highway with cruise on. What we wouldn't all give for that kind of data in a carbureted old school system now. Wait, 200 bucks? SOLD!!!!!

@TheScoob71 Год назад

Great video Steve but did you see that big foot in your window 😂

@cennsa140driver Год назад

A Harbor freight 3 inch air polisher and polishing compound will make that clear cover plate look like new!

@tosselton291 Год назад

You can play with the acceleration pump cam settings to cut down on the amount of gas sprayed into the venturi it's amazing just how much is sprayed when pumped.

@scottwheeler2494 Год назад

They do sell a good non-welding bung installation kit. Or your local muffler shop can install one if you don’t weld. It’s really a great tool for old school carb setups. I would still go with one of the EFI kits if I was going to all the trouble of rebuilding my engine. Holley makes it too easy for not a lot of money in the big scheme of things. But if your restoration demands sticking with a carburetor, a gauge like this really is a big bonus for drivability, economy, and maintaining your car or truck. Thanks for showing us your install!

@charlieromeo7663 Год назад

I couldn’t agree more. I put an EZ 2.0 EFI system on my 68 Camaro SS when I installed the 509 CI engine. FI is far and away is the best modification I’ve done to this car in 38 years of ownership. I hit the key and drive.

@dans_Learning_Curve Год назад

Something I might try in my 1958 Plymouth with a 318 poly.

Awesome addition to the new engine. It's coming together in a great way. 😁✌️👍

@andrewstoll4548 Год назад

Now you're going to have to replace the other gauges to make them all look the same.

@1ginner1 Год назад

We in the UK need to be doing stuff like this the way fuel prices are at the minute. I drive a Volvo C30 1.6ltr , pretty boring I know), It costs me $100 for 45ltrs of diesel so I could do with some fuel saving measures.

@Uncleroger1225 Год назад

Goo morning Steve,Elizabeth, Cora, but no Grits. On vacation in Florida. Thanks again for sharing your journey. That gage in the clock hole is most proper!

@SteveSummers Год назад

Enjoy the vacation 😎

@danielboughton3624 Год назад

a few decades ago I did a voltage divider with a LED bar for the indicator and a one wire sender. Pretty inexpensive to do that way and you don't really need a heated sender for this application. I won't go into setting the bits up because it has been well covered below. Once the bits are set up then the value of having it in the dash kind of goes away. I made mine easy to remove.

@alanharney5278 Год назад

Cora is the photobomb expert.

@Disneymkvii Год назад

Nice job on that install! I use WB02 a lot. Only tips I can offer is to basically ignore the WB at idle speeds if you have a cam with some overlap as the exhaust will draw in fresh air at low engine speeds. For idle use vacuum and rpm to dial AFR and WB02 over 1500rpm or so.

@ke9tv Год назад

A bunch of extra gauges looks tach-y. I see what you did there.

@johnrogers2387 Год назад

I love the clean install. But having that bright gauge at mite be a distraction. I would have looked into hooking light into the gauge light cluster. (If compatible with the other light cluster amps) So I could dim it at night.

@bobtherat99 Год назад

Thanks ... Cora is adorable.

@samrodian919 Год назад

A great install Steve, and good that you had the information to get the AFR correct so you are no longer running it on the lean side. Pity it wasn't running rich coz you would have saved money on gas! Lol

@tda2806 Год назад

My weekend just got better, a second Steve Summers' video, could only be better if you did a live stream as well!

@richardbrooks3569 Год назад

I looked up the Bobbies Uncle expression you used and the closest I could find was Bob's your uncle. It means the same as tada or there you are, or other such things. That's a fine -looking truck. I wonder if you'll ever be satisfied with it.

@lloydbaker7099 Год назад

Great content

@lennym1636 Год назад

I use to use a vacuum gauge to tune carbs...

@jsteifel Год назад

very cool. Impressive the changes you were able to dial into. BTW Novus will clean up that clear plastic and make it look new. OR Flitz which I have used to polish metal and my headlights before Novus. Either will work.. Flitz being more useful, Novus being better..

@sawz5 Год назад

I worked at a VW dealership right out of high school and had a kid that brought a disco light in to be mounted in his hopped up VW. about 2 weeks later he came back and told me"take it out". he said his girl friend said " if he wanted to park and watch that stupid light he could park by himself". lesson learned!

@richardforrest5781 Год назад

Hi....you can polish that clear lens to new condition. Buffing wheel with fine compound or maybe headlight polishing kit.

@SuperPsychoDave Год назад

You opened up with an Holley EFI hoodie on, why not go that route?

@TotoGuy-Original Год назад

That is quite a nice gauge cluster im pretty sure you could change all of them to aftermarket ones if you really wanted to

@Farm_fab Год назад

I bought a digital tach like your blue one for a friend of mine. He tried it, but evidently it was malfunctioning. He wasn't able to use it. Hopefully yours works well.

@BobOBob Год назад

At the point where you began TIG welding, it occurred to me that this particular installation project is "right up your alley" professionally speaking. At least more so than many of your video projects. Coincidentally, I recently joined a start-up making laser spectroscopy sensors, which will principally be used to examine combustion exhaust streams.

@shephusted2714 Год назад

you should goto efi - it runs with afr will make truck run better - more than likely - regardless going to no guess mode is good - logging data is a great idea - please followup with that solution too

@randylang2584 Год назад

Boy I sure could use that trans indicator

@jeffgray2954 Год назад

@SteveSummers Год назад

Yep :-) Thanks for tuning in buddy

@waynep343 Год назад

Using the air fuel ratio gauge. Bring up engine speed to around 1700 rpm. This should be just below the speed the primary boosters start to trickle. If you are lean. Increase the idle feed restrictions by 0.001" test again. To test the primary air fuel ratio. Bring the rpms up to 3500 to 3700 rpms. Is it lean or rich. Change the primary jets and retest. After you get the primary air fuel ratio set. The secondary air fuel ratio is checked during hard acceleration but you need to not go to wide open throttle as you have to observe the air fuel ratio with close to wide open throttle manifold vacuum above the power valve opening pressure. So the power valve is not enriching the overall air fuel ratio.

@WoLpH Год назад

I wonder if hot glue wouldn't work just as well or better than the plastic welding here. Less chance of melting the wrong things that way ;)

@lukebuholzer5064 Год назад

I usually do welding on flexible PVC once a year. It looks horrible and the pro that comes in to do it properly gives me crap every year😄

@ianide2480 Год назад

Welder AND patience? Well damn, this leaves me out...

@Cliff_Anderson Год назад

Main jets for cruise, power valve for WOT. It's not a racecar :) Ignore the transients until you get the jetting right...the accel pump will give you all kinds of headaches if it's active.

@yambo59 Год назад

Also make sure the IGNITION TIMING is set correctly-!

@rleeAZ Год назад

Spot where you eliminated the PRNDL would be nice spot for a digital clock.

@sblack48 Год назад

Could you use one of those kits they sell to rejuvenate plastic headlight lenses on the transparent cover on your cluster?

@gutsngorrrr Год назад

What would be interesting is seeing the difference between your current standard carb setup and a Holley Sniper

@paulcopeland9035 Год назад

Roughly $1K!

@kenburner Год назад

Nice install and a great tool. Too bad the gauge is so tacky! Really clashes with the rest of the cluster - and truck.

@SteveSummers Год назад

I'm not crazy about its look either. It doesn't have to be a forever thing

@troymilleraz Год назад

👍

@bcbloc02 Год назад

I would not be worried about cruise afr in the 15-16 range. Will be interesting to see if the extra fuel you added Gains any mpg. What are you getting now?

@SteveSummers Год назад

I'm not sure on the MPG yet, got to get my speedometer working 1st then I will play around. It seems to run a bit better after adding a bit more fuel.

@MaverickandStuff Год назад

I would have liked to see what the gauge looked like without the illumination wire connected. It might have been lit enough and connected the wire to the back light circuit.

@rapidride2 Год назад

The question is... how do you know what AFR is best? Each engine will have most power/efficiency with different AFR's than what are considered ideal.

@SteveSummers Год назад

What's best isn't what I'm after . I'm looking for safe and not so rich that it wastes more fuel than it already does 👍

@anomalous9448 3 месяца назад

I don’t have a welder. Do you think jb weld would hold the O2 sensor housing on the exhaust pipe?

@cersos Год назад

By eye, by ear, by foot, by feel. By the seat of my pants. Reading spark plugs, smelling exhaust gasses. But I'm no expert. Jesus man, I'd say your an expert.

@SteveSummers Год назад

I know enough to be dangerous 😳

@WilliamMunny-d8s 15 дней назад

how does this cab mounted gauge help you dial in the carb when all the adjustments are ON THE CARB under the hood? do you twist bleed screw then run to the cab? twist the choke then run to the cab?

@oldschool1993 Год назад

So, does this thing have a memory function so you can save readings from idle, cruise, acceleration etc. or do you have to drive along watching the gauge and then try to remember all the results?

@SteveSummers Год назад

You can log data but the gauge doesn't record on its own
