    I cut about 24” off of it and it reads within 1 lb of the Dakota digital gauge.

    Alright guys I’m installing a mechanical gauge but one thing isn’t clear do I have to keep the full 72” of line or can I cut it to fit?

    how fast is your power window?

    Mine go up and down in just a few quick seconds but that is because I put in a new channel kit and the electrical upgrade relay kit both from LMC. https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-87-chevy-gmc/cc-csb-heavy-duty-power-window-harness

    Want to build a good horsepower, good fuel economy engine for a 1978 c20 with stock 350. I don't know much and need help.

    Ok, I have to be the guy to ask. Since he is talking about making some very significant upgrades to his motor to get MPG along with his low-end torque and power, would he be better off throwing in a 4-speed transmission with a good torque converter instead to help with his power vs. MPG balance...

    low oil pressure

    I have a Chevy 350 HO motor, and the issue I'm running into is the motor runs with 60 PSI oil pressure on start-up. It runs well between 30-40 PSI while driving. But when I stop at a light once the motor is warmed up my oil pressure drops between 5-9 PSI. I'm currently running 5w-30 Penzoil full...

    Gas Cap required

    I bought new locking gas caps for my 1984 K10 with brand-new tanks and vents. The vents are higher than the tank inlets. However, I am still experiencing puking through the vent onto the ground. I'm guessing my new gas caps are not vented which is causing the puking but I'm wondering if a vented...

    Jegs Wiring harness versus Painless Wiring Harness

    I've put in quite a few wiring harnesses over the years and I have to say the fact painless has the book to tell you where each wire goes and the fact each wire is labeled through out it's length is a HUGE time saver.

    Wheels

    I thought so too but I called them and they said it’s not theirs.

    Help with wiring!

    I'd vote for KZGuns' path to this issue and get up under there and look at all of the ignition wiring and see if they have back fed something off the hot or grounds from the headlight wiring.

    Not that I have noticed by looking inside with it installed but it have to take it off and look.

    Wheels

    I have the pictured wheels on my truck and I need to purchase a 5th one for my spare tire but I can’t find anything visible on the wheel to indicate who makes it. Any ideas?

    New wiring harness difficulty

    If you’re going to attempt it spend the extra money and get a painless harness. It comes with a book that takes you through it step by step. But before you begin read the book cover to cover.

    Rough and shaking 350 after changing spark plugs

    Also worth check that during your tune up you didn’t loosen the distributor and it moved on you after you check the plugs wires and vacuum fittings as everyone correctly called out first.

    Truck dies on the side of the road. Any suggestions?

    Before you do anything significant, drive it around until it dies and then reach back and open the gas cap. If you hear a loud woosh you may have a bad gas cap.

    1995 c1500 4speed trans 4th gear

    Yes second gear works well. Pretty old truck and transmission so I wouldn’t rule out the converter lockup issues.

    1995 c1500 4speed trans 4th gear

    Well this may be a bit outside the forum year rules but I figured y’all might be able to help. My son has a 1995 chevy c1500 with a 4 speed trans 4L60 I believe. His transmission drives great 1-3 rd gear. When it shift to fourth it only momentarily shifts in to 4th gear and then immediately back...

    6.2 to 350 swap

    The tanks weren’t terribly expensive and the mechanics I spoke with said the lines would clean out pretty quickly but the tanks would take a while to clean out and I decided it was easier to change them. Plus the rock guards were full of mud, rocks and rust.
