    Possible Flexplate and Balancer Issue

    I mainly did a cam swap. So cam, value guides, springs, had a bad balancers that spun so that, and the flexplate had worn teeth, then other basic consumables. Everything else is essentially still 350 parts.

    Possible Flexplate and Balancer Issue

    Well I didn't take the whole engine apart it was still in the truck. The truck was given to me by my late grandfather who told me it was a 400. When I was told it was a 4 bolt main after changing the oil pan gasket I had to make sure it was a 400. When I finally had a chance, I checked the block...

    Possible Flexplate and Balancer Issue

    Hello, I was rebuilding my engine in the truck was always told it was a 400 so I bought everything for that engine. However after installing most items and cleaning the block up I realized it was actually a 350. I know the 400 was externally balanced and 350 internally. Will this cause any...

    Headlight Switch Connector

    Hey guys, My switch got fried and toasted some wires and now I can't really tell where they go to. Someone help with some pictures of the colored wires and where they go to? I really appreciate it. This is a short term fix as I plan to get a Painless Performance wiring kit next year.

    Replace thermostat without draining fluid?

    Just undo the bolts to the housing with the hose still on and have it point vertically while you change it, should be a small mess but nothing more than a quart or two at most.

    Starving for Fuel!?!?

    I run those and I've had no issue, but i was thinking just to diagnose the issue. It would be easy to go back to not having that filter.

    Starving for Fuel!?!?

    If you run one of those cheap clear filters before the carb you'll quickly be able to tell if fuel had been flowing. I would start with that and force it to stall in a safe area so you can check that. It'll at least give you an idea if its from the before or after the pump.

    Horn not working

    That sounds like the turn signal cam is causing the issue then.

    Short bed side rust prevention?

    I have zero personal experience with rust but I have heard of people using a spray on bedliner to help prevent rust build up. Not sure if that would be something you'd want to look into.

    Oil leaking?

    No idea than, there should be technically no pressure there if it wasn't running.

    Oil leaking?

    Was the truck running when you were pushing it? I've had the problem of the oil breather cap spilling but it just made a messy valve cover. Taller covers cured that for me. Not sure what else may cause that.

    If I'm not mistaken when you go EFI, the self learning acts to reduce the lope of the cam and reduces the noise? I remember reading it in a magazine but can't recall which. I may be wrong however.
