    91 Suburban service engine light came on and engine stopped

    I’ll chime in here too and vote for something spark related. Had my tbi wagon do this a couple years ago: failed in the driveway, restarted sometimes, ran for periods of time sometimes. I thought it was fuel pump but it was a failing distributor. You could be looking at that or the coil -...

    Bucket Seat Rebuild or Replace?

    That’s right - I always liked the different bolstering and padding on those later seats. Not a huge deal, just a preference.

    TBI rough on a warm or hot restart

    Maybe having a wide and kid makes me too quick to assume I'm just wrong :)

    Well, not the first time I've been wrong. Today.

    TBI rough on a warm or hot restart

    Hi All - bringing this thread back with an update. I crawled under and replaced the fuel filter, did a fuel pressure check at the same time. It's running about 12ish, I guess I'd rather have 14+ but I guess that's okay? The thing that confuses me is that I thought the pump was supposed to...

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    Thanks guys - I found those caps over on ebay a while back, they've grown on me. I replaced the sagging rear springs with HD springs, that reset its ride height, I think it's come together well.

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    So ... do wheel covers count in this thread? Found these and decided to give them a shot. I 'think' I like them, I kept the originals of course. Untitled by Lineswest, on Flickr

    TBI rough on a warm or hot restart

    Thanks for the advice guys, and no, there are no codes. I'll start running through the list of options starting with fuel pressure and spark timing. I've never done the fuel filter so that's a no brainer to go after regardless. How do I tell if I have a good quality spark? Under load...

    Retro looking new Chevy trucks

    Nice looking '77 - and I do kind of like the retro paint on the new one. A little bit of thought on the body lines for their next version and it could really catch on ... again. What happened to two tone paint jobs anyway? I feel like those are due for a comeback.

    TBI rough on a warm or hot restart

    Hi All, I'm looking for some ideas on this one. The 454 in my R20 is running great, I've finally chased down all of the random stuff that it needed after I found it in Texas a couple years ago. Now I'm just left with this problem: When it's hot, and turned off for a little while, it...

    HD or "normal" 3/4 rear leaf springs

    Good point. I'll let it go do its job.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Spent $60 and gave the r20 a new MAP sensor. Replaced the $20 one I bought that was a no-name, running great again. Should'a bought the Delco in the first place.
