That's good to know about the tires. That sand looks a lot like what I'm dealing with. And your right to do it right for camping you need to get into the soft stuff. Well it's a pretty old Edelbrock and I'm not sure it's worth saving. I was thinking of switching to a Holly 4150 Easier...

Here is my Dilemma, and I know it has been discussed before but I have a very specific set of circumstances here. I have a 79 Quadravan that is total bear bones but needs a New Carb. I have a 82 Hightop Camper van that is fully equipped for camping and travel but is only 2wd I have moved close...

That is totally my dream Van! nicely done :-)

My Quadravan started using a lot of oil and running really hot. I remember back years ago that I had a car that started using a lot of Oil after the PCV valve went bad so I put a new one and and right away. My Idle went back to normal, It has been running cooler and I'm expecting it to use...

I'm guessing I'm about 3500 rpm too at 55 or 60. It's got a big cam so even though it's wound up it still wants to keep going it would probably creep up to 75 before it felt like the gears were holding it back. It get's about 8 MPG at 55 and then drops off really fast over that.

Ya that's in 3rd gear. It does not have over drive and it must be 4:56 or 4:88's because it's pretty damn low gearing.

Hey we are in the same neck of the woods both with Quadravans very cool. I got a 79.

I second that notion. I got 33's on my Van and the engine is just screaming when doing 60 on the freeway. I can't imagine how it would be with smaller tires.

I've not heard of that one yet. Is there a site for them online?

Great thread Idea! My Dad has an old Camp Trailer built out of an old 50's era Ford he has not used in years I'm trying to talk him out of to pull behind my Quadravan :-)

Crap now I've seen a Honda CT70 and I want one of those! LOL

Nice! can't wait to see more.

No, I have not been out of the Northwest in a couple of years.

Who has a tote gote. I got one as a basket case and I'm putting it back together so I can haul it on the back of my Van so I can tool around the campsite or in worse case situation where I break down go for help. I just need to get a Throttle and a break cable and hook up the belts oh and a...

Thanks for the compressor recommendation. I just checked that brand out on Amazon and it looks like a good way to go. Do you have it mounted up in one place or do you have it where you can move it around? I was thinking keeping it portable might be the best idea that way I could put some...

I really like the Ride of my E350 79 Quadravan. It rides smoother than my Half Ton chevy suburban 4x4

I like it! I'm going to get one.

Well I was in a car wreck that ruptured my L4/L5 disk. it cause me to get nerve damage of both weakness and pain in both legs with a drop foot in my left foot. I had surgery but do to an Arthritic Condition they could not replace the disk and just kind of cleaned up the mess. I have Moderate...

Sounds like a great idea. I was going to put a PVC pipe tube on my roof for holding fishing poles. I could have that on one side and a water tank on the other. Being up high Gravity Flow would make it really nice and easy too.
