put in new redline weber K610 kit

[85Ram50]

Nice work. What did it take time wise to install the kit out of the box? And did you modify your air cleaner assembly or use an adapter?

As you can see it was really just replacing an existing Weber. It took maybe 2 hours. The hardest part is tightening the nuts on the studs. I re-tightened them after I got it hot and filled the coolant. There wasn't but a 1/4 turn on two of them. The kit came with curved washers to help them stay tight. [EDIT- The most time is refilling the coolant which you have to drain below the level of the intake so that when you remove the old carb coolant doesn't fill the intake manifold.]
The air cleaner is a project I did last year. Got it free when I picked up the grill. The idiots at the junk yard burned up and entire 85 ram50 using a cutting torch to pull parts off it! They lit the gas tank on fire! The grill was the only part that survived. I suppose some of the body metal would work. I had to go at the air cleaner with a wire wheel and paint it. I posted pics on here to include a spacer I made with craft store cork pads I coated with gasket caulk and I got some longer hex bolts to reach through the spacer.
