    New Hood and Hinges...Fit Problem

    OK...so I put on a high rise hood and at the same time installed new hinges from LMC. No matter how I try to adjust them, the hood sticks up 1/2"+ at the rear. Any ideas, tricks, or experience in adjusting would be helpful

    Timing Help on 1987 R10

    1987 R10 2wd, 350, 700R4. Where is the wire that you have to disconnect to set timing? I know there has to be one...:Insane:

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    I primarily made the change to the MSD for the tuneability and to control ignition. Yes, it was an expensive exercise for 1mpg. Like they said in the song, or maybe it was just the album cover..." you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish...or the old GM ECM.

    How much MPG does your 454 get, and TBI conversion?

    1973 3/4 ton 2wd 454 w/ TH400 and 3.73 gears, RV cam and long tube headers. Most of my driving is at high altitude (5000+ feet. You should see the runway I need) and a lot of highway. My brick got 8+ mpg with a well tuned Q-jet. I put a 2 inch GM TBI on and right away went to 10 mpg. I now...

    454 & 400 turbo

    I love my 454 with the "049" heads, cam, headers, and fuel injection. That's my vote.

    1996 454 tbi in 87 GMC. Easy swap??

    I didn't say you could....watching for the black helicopters....It all depends on how strict your state rules and regs are. Out here in the wild west where the sniffers haven't yet gone, it's a little looser but removal is a federal no no, so you're on your own there. Realistically, a...

    TBI issue

    A safer way to test the injector is to use a 9 volt battery, hook up positive to positive on the injector and momentarily touch the ground to ground. do not leave connected because you could toast an injector coil. You should hear if cycle or click. I would also put a fuel pressure gauge in...

    1996 454 tbi in 87 GMC. Easy swap??

    Mechanically, not a hard swap. I believe the '96 454 used a high pressure throttle body so you would need the high pressure fuel pump or low pressure injectors from an earlier 454 and change the internal pressure regulator. We've done several "street rod....no emissions" conversions, putting...
