PEZi720... the build thread

[PEZi]

Oh, gotcha. Any tips on making one? I might have to try that out.

do you have welding tools? if not you'll need to take it to a performance shop

Hey pezi when you installed your weber did you run a line from the fitting on the upper passenger-side of the carb? I can't figure out if I need to run it somewhere or just cap it?

the one shown here with the red cap? if so its the float bowl vent so it technically should go to the carbon canister.... as you can see mine doesn't lol

[85NIS720]

Yep, I've got welding tools and a pipe bender.

[PEZi]

well in that case making one is as simple as taking a stock cat... and then cut the pipe to be the same length... then carefully weld on matching flanges with the same angles so it all bolts up properly

[85NIS720]

Sounds easy enough, thanks.

[PEZi]

Hey PEZi, how hard was it to get the Corbeau in and how much work did it take?

[dogred]

^ i don't think that thing is the actual computer... i ahve that thing too... can a larger actual computer on the other side... you'd honestly never know it was there until you pull the carpet

That is A.S.C.D. ,it has some lights that blink also.

Also depends on which year, I think the pre 84 models had the computer on the drivers side with the cruise control computer on the passenger.

corbeau makes a seat bracket for the 720... direct bolt in!

what muffler did u go with?

magnaflow XL turbo muffler

[85NIS720]

Awesome, I'll have to look into that. Do you have any pictures of your 720 before flat black? I thought I saw one of your truck on a different thread painted.

[PEZi]

yep.... it used to look like this

[1badsr20]

love the truck and what youve done to itis the ka24e head a direct swap to a z24 if you keep the carbs

the head itself is a direct swap... but you'll need to make some decisions as to what you want to do with the intake manifold, exhaust, distributor (extra plugs).... and possibly the timing chain

l

lthose wheelz ookz f***en hot!!!

[flinterman2000]

Did you have to lift it back up to fit those awesome wheels? Are you leaving them white?

[PEZi]

same ride height... the tire is a little shorter

and yes they will stay white... with my awesome new pink race numbers

[85NIS720]

What kind of shocks are you using after you lowered it?

[PEZi]

KYB's

i have the monomax in the front and and gas-a-just in the rear

[89720]

I noticed the engine bay picture and mine ir revers almost like my air filter is on drivers side about the exhaust manifold. side of my block has on letter i cant see and then 20b and it throttle body

[captainzeros]

That'd be the L20B engine, which has the intake manifold on the other side. The NAPS-Z engines are what you're comparing it to.

[PEZi]

^ yep

[flinterman2000]

same ride height... the tire is a little shorter

What's the tire and rim size?

[PEZi]

What's the tire and rim size?

quite simple really.... 1. clean the hell out of the dash2. use fine grit paper (just enough to take the surface off of the dash but not enough to ruin the texture it has) 3. clean the hell out of the dash4. repeat steps 2 & 35. further clean the dash using M.E.K. (do this A LOT! you want to do it with a white rag so that you can tell how much of the color is coming out because this is your contaminants that will hurt the quality of your paint over time... the more you get out the better! the M.E.K. pulls all these contaminants out... the rag you are using will turn the color of the dash as these come out... the dash is clean when all the contaminants are out, but the kicker here is the rag will still keep turning color.... but you can kinda tell when its not pulling out as much anymore.6. clean with soap and water and let air dry7. paint.... using

[bracktheron720]

cool i was gunna use a product very much like that..how did you do the extra guages??it looks like thats where the air vent was...i wanna smooth everything BUT the vents any ideas??

[PEZi]

well if you look closely... i have the dash cut in half and there is no longer a lower portion to it.... the vents popped out as a result... and in their place i just used a little wood and bondo and made a little mount for the gauges where the vents were

[bracktheron720]

you da man pezi..
