    TBI Cam recomendations

    To make a long story short, Went looking for a ticking noise that I thought was an exhaust leak and turned out to be lifters. After attempting to adjust them (turn the nut until the pushrod cant spin and then 1/2 turn) I realized that my lifters are probably on the way out (pushrods kept...

    454 exhaust recommendations

    Looking for input on 454 exhaust. Current set up is summit long tubes with 2-1/4” true duals (the dynomax kit I think) and cherry bomb knock off glass packs. I hate the sound and I’m about to throw on some 781 heads I got for cheap and an Edelbrock performer intake to match the oval ports with a...

    Tbi alternator wiring

    I think the alternator on my 90 suburban is going out. Took a look at it today and noticed this wire was cut (by previous owner presumably). Any idea why this might be the case?

    Q jet choke question

    Picked up a spare quadrajet this weekend and it’s an older version set up for a divorced choke. My truck originally came with a hot air choke but the port is now blocked off and I was wondering if anyone knew of an adapter or kit to make the divorced choke work with that opening or if there was...

    Adding 81-82 bumper fog lights

    Cool, I have the housings and everything, just trying to figure out how to wire them in. I have the relays and marker wires make sense. Thanks!

    Adding 81-82 bumper fog lights

    Will the fog lights blink with the turn signals if I wire them that way?

    Anyone live in Portland, OR have a shop they like? Need to pass emissions…

    Not sure if this helps (I’m in Denver so we go by whatever cali does) but we have to do a 2 speed idle test for anything 1990 and older. My advice from my experience: 1. Make sure your timing is set within the factory specs (too much advance will fail) 2. Make sure it’s not too lean (will...

    Small block and big block exhaust interchange

    Might be a stupid question, but will a stock exhaust system (post manifold) from a small block truck bolt up to a big block and vice versa? I have long tubes and true duals on my big block and I want to go back to manifolds and a 2-1 and wondering if I can just slap in the stock exhaust from a...

    454 intake manifold gaskets not sealing

    Sorry for the dogshit pics. But the lower part of both gaskets is wet with oil. Oil is also fresh because I’ve been having to constantly refill as I drive. I checked all 4 surfaces for flatness and they’re true as far as I can tell. Also no machining on heads that I’m aware of

    454 intake manifold gaskets not sealing

    Enough of a difference to cause this much leakage?

    454 intake manifold gaskets not sealing

    After suspecting that my oil consumption + low vacuum issue was the result of bad intake manifold gaskets, I was able to confirm that that was the case (see pics). Basically I had a leak under the manifold that was simultaneously sucking oil into the intake ports and not letting me get past...

    14BFF into suburban: What parking brake cables?

    Throwing a 14bff into my 90 suburban (v1500) and wondering which parking brake cables to buy. One on the axle is currently cut and the other looks like it will be too short based on eyeball measurements

    Power window relay issues

    Wired it up like that diagram at least 10 times, just got clicking from the relay, no window movement

    Power window relay issues

    Ya I had two hooked up. Still nothing. Ended up running a better ground, changing relays to a different brand, double/triple/quadruple checking wiring, changing fuses, etc. still nothing, so that’s it. Wasted like 3 hours on something I thought would be fairly straightforward

    Power window relay issues

    Trying to hook up the power window relays and I’ve got some questions about wiring. I’m using the following diagram and I’ve got fused power from the under hood junction block going to 30, 85 is ground, 86 is to the switch and 87 is to the motor. If I ground 87a, I can hear the relays click, but...

    1991 gmc suburban stock shock question

    Just picked up a 91 gmc suburban 4x4 and now that I've got it on the road, it definitely needs some shocks. It's still got the quad front shocks but they could very well be the original factory ones. Rockauto has part numbers for inner and outer shocks, but I'd like to go to just one shock...

    Exhaust options for a 1990 suburban 4x4?

    Anyone have any suggestions for exhaust kits for a 1990 4x4 burb? most shops in my area are quoting 1500-2000 to build a custom exhaust and the dynomax kit I ordered from summit was designed by a blind man the way stuff is fitting up.

    Need help figuring out options for regear

    I have a 90 burb (350/700r4) with a 6" ORD lift and 10 bolts front & rear. I run 35" tires most of the time with some 33" studded snow tires for winter. A previous owner (not the guy I bought it from, but the dude before him) installed 5.38 gears in the 10 bolts, which I'm sure are fine for 40's...
