    Low oil pressure in a new motor?

    Running 10W-30. When I'm cruising 60 down the road I'm hovering around 35psi. I do have a 700R4, but don't know my gearing though. I'll have to check out my RPM's when going 60, but I know it's not that high. Falls inline with 7-10psi per 1000 RPM though.

    Low oil pressure in a new motor?

    I have Dakota Digital VHX gauges in it so it is aftermarket.

    Low oil pressure in a new motor?

    Oh man, that's exactly where mine sits when running too. Thought for sure it would be around 60 when cruising. Good to know, thanks.

    Low oil pressure in a new motor?

    Hey all, Been a while since I've been in here and I feel bad about that, haha. So I put in a new Chevy Performance 350 crate motor in my 73 about 500 miles ago and haven't really driven it much since I had to get a new truck for work. Anyway, when idling I get a PSI of 7-10lbs once the...

    Selling my 73 SWB

    I love the truck, but being that it was my daily driver, it really didn't have the room that I thought I could get away with. Not to mention that since I get a vehicle allowance at work, they were starting to really question if I should continue getting it. So I had to make a change.

    Selling my 73 SWB

    I am selling my 73 C10 truck. It has a brand new 350 that was just installed a month ago that only has about 700 miles on it. 700R4 transmission. There are literally too many new parts to list so I'll cover the important ones. New rear end built by Performance Industries. All new front end...

    4 port fuel sender

    I put a single rear tank in my C10 from a blazer and also put in the matching sender, which has 4 ports. One of them goes to the fuel pump, the other I have as a tank vent. I blocked the other two. I can literally see the fumes coming from the vent line and it will fill my garage with the...

    Dipstick lengths

    I have a full size filter. And yes I went there to get the dipstick that I currently have. The issue is that the driver side requires a larger size tube than the passenger side. Hence, I had to find one that was the correct size.

    Dipstick lengths

    I thought so too! So when I change the oil this weekend, I'll put a total of 5 quarts in right? Then I'll measure with the dipstick and adjust the markings if I need too. Thank you.

    Dipstick lengths

    Okay couple more questions: I just put this motor in my truck: http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Performance/809/10067353/10002/-1?parentProductId= With it I got a drivers side dipstick tube plug as I wanted to move the dipstick to the passenger side. Well the tubes aren't the same diameter, so...

    Dipstick lengths

    Should the length of the dipstick be the same whether it's on the driver or passenger side of the motor? Thank you. Brandon

    Removal of helper leaf in rear

    Thanks Knight. The rear shocks are from McGaunhney (spelling?), so they definitely aren't stock, but not sure if the length is the same as stock. I do still have bump stops in place as well.

    Steering pump

    Hey All, Looking for ideas on a power steering pump. I have a refurbished one in my truck that is only a couple months old, and it's already shot. I'm planning on replacing it tomorrow afternoon, but am wondering if there are any others on the market that might be better than the ones at...

    Crankcase pressure?

    Thanks for the help gents. I think I may have fixed it....for now at least. Put a breather in on the passenger valve cover, and changed out the dipstick and tube for a new one, and this morning on the way to work I wasn't putting out a smoke screen. Time will tell on this though.
