    Oil pressure but no oil up top

    I’m priming the oil pump with a pump tool on a 73 350. I’m getting about 35 psi while turning it with an electric drill. After several minutes no oil in the valve train.

    WTF? Intake manifold crud

    WTF? Intake manifold crud

    73 Park Brake Switch

    I’m not sure if it is the original cluster. I got the truck used multiple users. Thanks for the lead on the proportioning valve. I will start there and update the outcome here. Again I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply.

    73 Park Brake Switch

    My park brake light on the lower left of the instrument cluster is steady on. Does anyone know where the switch is so I can repair? Is it park brake warning or main brakes? Oh boy....:(

    Hanger bearing spacer

    Same here. No spacer. Actually the bearing wasn’t even pressed on it was just dangling there.

    Hanger bearing spacer

    I got a new hanger support bearing for the driveline on my 73 long bed C 10. It came with a spacer ring. Do I need to use it? If so does it go in front or behind the bearing on the shaft?
