    Lower steering shaft

    From what I remember taking mine apart, no, it will not just slide in / out. To replace it you would need to disassemble the column 100%. that shaft is similar to the intermediate shaft that connects the column to the gear box. assembled and set with plastic to make it solid, yet can collapse if...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    checkout coldhose.com adapters they have a few adapters and I'm sure one of the 3 will work. If you have the oem hoses, they can probably be repurposed.. I wound up re-purposing the L83 suction hose and discharge lines by adding new tubing and tube nut to it and had a hydraulic shop that does...

    double check the wiring, when i swapped 87 to 88+ to get the electric speedo, a few wires needed to be switched around. Easy to trace the wires from the printed circuit.

    LS Fuel Pressure

    100%, if you plug the vent up, you ultimately will starve the engine of fuel even if the tank has fuel.... it can also deform the fuel tank if the vacuum is strong enough. Buddy built a chevelle ls swap and the vacuum deformed his tank.

    LS Fuel Pressure

    Humm.. I had a slightly larger aftermarket intake tube and factory mass airflow and that made mybswap run rich. I wound up putting a wideband on it and tuning the airflow sensor table.

    LS Fuel Pump

    stock tbi system pressure is like 14 psi? that sounds like that would be a restriction. If you woud be using an internal pump, mine as well get one to do the whole job? stock pump for stock builds work just fine for the stock sending unit wiring. I ran just that for about 10 years on my 87 with...

    LS Fuel Pump

    I designed these fuel hats for the c-10 for higher current rated fuel pumps. the stock sending unit terminals can only handle 14 amps... more higher powered pumps draw more. while uncle eddy never has a problem. data sheets led me down this path this setup allows up to 25 amps on fuel pump power...
