    MY-6 \ A833 to NV3500 Swap behind LS

    How did you like the MY6? I've thought about one of them behind a 292 straight six I have sitting. Not sure about the gear ratios and strength, the 292 will be very torque-y.

    Kelsey Hayes brake controller

    So I finally got around to removing the old KH hyrdraulic brake controller. I didn't harvest the entire wire going to back of truck. Wondering if there would be any interest if someone was wanting something period correct? Not even sure what it would be worth to someone. I have the unit and...

    Chevy 292 upgrades?

    I don't think the 292 had the integrated head. The Clifford stuff is expensive, and even a used 4 bbl intake still fetch a decent price. Tom at 12Bolt is a wealth of knowledge on the straight sixes, and has alot of parts available as well. I have a fresh 292 that was going into my 49...

    Bucket, thanks for this. Got the new one in today and it definitely spins over much better. And yes much easier to install!

    big block starter replacement

    Agreed, didn't ask for a parts store suggestion. Everybody has their opinion on which to use or not, and we all know what they say bout opinions. I bought a new, not reman, with lifetime warranty. Price not terribly more than reman, heck it even came with new starter bolts! Don't wanna try...

    big block starter replacement

    Bucket, The linked newer truck version has a slightly different solenoid setup - looks like a large lug connecting to motor and another large lug below it. Assuming the one small terminal is the 'S' terminal. Connect battery wire to the bottom one that is opposite of the motor connection...

    big block starter replacement

    Rick - already did all the tests and diagnosed the starter. Simply want to test the 37 year old wires while its easy and just confirm while they are disconnected and I can manipulate them a bit.

    big block starter replacement

    So, need to replace starter on my 87 454. Don't trust the usual auto parts stores remans, maybe the Napa with lifetime warranty. Not a terribly hard job but don't care to lay on the ground and do it over again cause of a crappy part. Is there any advantage to the mini starters? Engine is...

    what is this plug

    So, going through hose replacements and general maintenance on this old girl that I aquired awhile back. Not sure what this dangling plug is for, don't see a lone plug that should go into it. 87 454 TBI. Not totally sure what these two relays do either. But, trying to determine what this...

    aux trans cooler question

    So, about to do a radiator flush and replace all my hoses but I'm a bit puzzled about the aux trans cooler. Truck has the factory HD trailering package w/FF rear axle and 13" JB7 brakes (3/4, 454). Also has the factory engine oil cooler. Truck is very original overall with only 2 previous...

    dual battery w/isolator and solar charging

    I don't think I have any parasitic draws. PO let it sit for months and months, so I think he kinda damaged this battery already. I got busy and let it sit for about 3 months during the summer, and it's pretty much done, but it's about 3 years old anyway. It won't be a daily right now, but...
