Whoa there trigger. Did you just say to made a no weld mount that looks bone stock, and keeps the proper orientation of the mount?

[zoom zoom]

oh duh, there's an impact right in the pic **facepalm**

Homer Simpson much?

[drddan]

lol

X2!

Markus, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Been there, done that.

Nothing like a .... little .... leverage :p

I am waiting to see how mine goes. You just gave me nightmares! :eeeeeek:

Hope it gets smoother, man.

Fresh, since the bp does not have the little water outlet on the front of the head I cut that out of the water pipe and used a piece of heater hose and clamps

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I figured it needed plugged off or something.

Fresh - with all the goodies you have, tractors etc. your telling me you don't have an impact gun? either electric or air powered? i bought an electric one a couple years ago and i have not regretted it since

:p :p Its a 3/4" impact too.

X2!



Hope it gets smoother, man.

Man, me too ! Not sure it will though. All Ive done so far is take things apart. Havent put anything togather yet.

Eurotiva's idea

[Damkid]

FWIW mattswabb once told me that he figured the BP would run on an un-modified EFI festiva harness w/ BP ecu but you would get a CEL without having the 4th dist. wire and the VICS hooked up

that 3/4 impact looks like a CP unit and they're not worth much more than 350 lbft....

i recomend an Aircat or SnapOn 1/2", both (depending on the model) are worth better than 800 lbft.

also, what PSI are you running for the gun? and what size hose?

[freshtiva]

Yeah that may be my problem. I bought the wrench from a buddy of mine years ago. My compressor shuts off at 120 PSI and comes back on at 100PSI. Im using a 3/4" hose. Might be time for a new impact you think ?

[FestYboy]

OMG yeah, that thing is a turd. your line size and pressure are fine.

i recomend THIS aircat for 1/2" and THIS for a 3/8" gun. both are very quiet.
and i will always recomend a SnapOn gun, but they are $$$

[freshtiva]

I like it, if for no other reason, its made of Kevlar . Might have to Buy It Now.

[KingFish]

Awesome mount. That should be added to the sticky for the bp swap. Will open a lot a doors for guys with less equipment.

[eurotiva]

I offered to sell them as a kit and only 1 person bought some. Its an easy way to get the alignment right

[Movin]

Don't ever keep working when the snap on tool dealer shows up.
He WILL show you the latest and greatest, let you try it......
At that point you gotta say you only like pos tools or play ball!

[shadetree]

I have never had a snap on gun that was any good . The Im31 is okay my IR is were my money gets spent . And don't buy matco guns there just IR guns with matco names .
I payed close to seven hundred bucks for a 3/4 snap on gun with no problem ,but turned it back in within three days didn't like it .

[freshtiva]

Motor day. Cleaned/prepped for paint. Installed new water pump and timing belt. $175 in parts.Dont see how the down pipe is going to work yet. At least one more motor day in my future. When I removed the timing belt the intake cam instantly turned almost 90 degrees clockwise. I had marked their positions and turned it back to origin before installing the belt. It wouldnt sit on the mark w/o holding it there. Hope its right.
