So I got it all cleaned out and the new starter installed (after a lot of work, new starter had bad thread in one hole and didn't want to fit quite right). Anyways, after everything was setup, I try to turn it over and all it does is make one solid click. Not sure if this is the spacing or what, both the starter and the battery are brand new

Local station sells non-ethanol. Costs more than the 10% fuels, but not a lot more. Put it in the motorcycles, they run better with it. And with their small tanks, it doesn't really cost more (more mpg as well).

you are missing the cap on the bottom. So no, they are not meant to be open. Just think of the dirt and crap that will get inside.

Thanks!

So I got my starter to work after shimming it, took a total of 1/8" of shims + a 1mm shim all on one bolt! Seems really excessive, but it works so I'm not really sure what to think. I also got the carb installed, and also got my throttle cable mostly hooked up, tomorrow's project is to properly connect the vacuum lines and throttle cable and see what happens. I tried messing with it and it wouldn't start, even with gas in the carb, but I'll dig into it more tomorrow.

After a little bit of messing around I found out the float bowl had almost no fuel in it, after raising the float level it runs great, idle is way too high, but I'll fix that later today after I re install the exhaust properly

Re: 1966 c20
 

Does anybody know of a good steering box rebuild kit or a parts list? I'm debating between trying to get all the parts and rebuild mine or just replacing it, it's a heft replacement with the cheapest up front being around $330 and I get a $125 core deposit later on after shipping it back, I haven't found anywhere with a rebuild kit but it seems that people are doing it. I also wouldn't mind upgrading if that's a feasible option as well. But right now I am stuck back in the driveway with basically no steering. (It went out moving it from the driveway to the curb, and I barely got it back without hitting anything).

Thanks, I don't want to convert to power, I'm fine with manual but I'll still check it out

Re: 1966 c20
 

did I say anything about you converting to p/s?. I think that the steering boxes are the same. cars, trucks even corvettes used basically the same hydraulic assist setup.
he will know where the parts are to rebuild your box

Fair enough, everywhere else I've looked people point me to power steering setups so I assumed that's what you meant.. But thanks., website looks good, I'll try and call him when I can during business hours and see what we can work out, looks like he really knows about steering gear boxes
