    1987 TBI tach install

    Working on an 87 TBI motor just had built, bought a new tach and was wondering where to hook rpm lead to ? I am seeing some threads where guys have 3 leads coming off the coil. I only have what is pictured and figured the empty plug is where the tach green wire would go? It currently isn't...

    1987 sbc long block valve cover oil cap

    Does a grommet go there ? Or is there an oil cap replacement to forego the tube ?

    1987 sbc long block valve cover oil cap

    Got a 1987 Chevy v10, got some center bolt valve covers from a junkyard but don't know exactly what they came off of. The 1/4 turn oil cap does not work and there are no threads for a different one. Does it take a tube? I currently have a crappy press fit one in there and even that one...

    1987 SBC 350 TBI long block build question

    Alright that's what I was thinking, I may bore out those holes slightly and clean the oil pan just for reassurance but it does contact block without studs interference without gasket, just close. I do not want to remove them if I can avoid it since it was just built. Once I can get to rotating...

    1987 SBC 350 TBI long block build question

    So those two holes in the oil pan as pictured do clear those studs slightly, is that what they are for ? I am curious, I don't like how close they are but then again the main caps are in a fixed position so it may not cause an issue. I am just trying to think about all possibilities since new motor

    T/L CTSY fuse keeps blowing

    Hey everyone, working through issues on my 1987 Chevy v10 and my tl CTSY fuse keeps blowing when I turn my parking lights on. This is one click on the headlight switch, I have not gotten my instrument lights to turn on either and dimmer gives no response. The tail harness looks like it may...

    Brake pedal sinks to floor engine on

    Rear brake shoes were way out of adjustment, rubbed my thumb raw spinning the adjuster wheel and got the drum snug against the shoes. Decent pedal now with engine running but still doesn't feel right, bled all four corners again no air so it might just be in my head. Will test drive this...

    Brake pedal sinks to floor engine on

    So with rear port plugged off and front line still in, the pedal felt better and came to a stop. With the front port plugged off and rear line still in, pedal felt the same sank to the floorboard. I had one double threaded plug available so I couldn't plug both off at the same time
