    90s 10 bolt fitment

    My 81 10 bolt is about to puke. I know the spiders are looser than a $2 hooker, and I just discovered my pinion bearing is sloppier than that. I have access to a free 10 bolt out of a 1990 GMC 1500 SLX. My question is, will the spring perches or anything else need modification to fit, or is it...

    Are having to put a cat back on due to local laws? Not sure they had them standard in 79. I know on my 81 the cross member and hangers are setup to run exhaust down the left side for its 250. There are others with more knowledge than me... Sent from the back-woods of Maine, via cah, beah, and...

    Fuel Pump won't draw fuel from tank

    Hmm.. with the pump putting out the Hg you're saying, that tells me the diaphram is good in the pump. What I don't see, have you tried removing both filters? Have you tried turning engine over while output on pump is setup to pour into a can, physically see what you're getting from the pump...

    Fuel Pump won't draw fuel from tank

    As a quick follow up.. if you get to the point of testing without filters, test direct to carb with new line if possible. Again, the line from pump to carb could be pinched somewhere and still blow air through it, but not allow enough fuel flow.

    Fuel Pump won't draw fuel from tank

    Hey.. my ears are ringing! :yawn: Ok, after reading the thread, let me clarify a couple of things I've learned... 1. There is no push rod for an inline 6, the pump arm makes direct contact onto the cam lobe. 2. There should be NO shims or spacers between the block and the pump, the...
