    Super T10 vs M20/M21

    Hello Everyone, here’s the update: The Super T10 has a speedometer port bore like an M21 or TH350 at 0.875. I did not order the $80 B&M part as I was looking at 2-4 week lead times to get one to Canada, instead I spent $20 and ordered this no-name aluminum one from Amazon. I went to go install...

    Super T10 vs M20/M21

    Hey Folks, As some might remember I swapped in a Super T10 into my truck and I believe it came out of a 78' Trans Am. I am looking to delete the speedo cable but I am having trouble finding a speedometer port plug that is specific to the Super T10. I have found some on Ebay that are specific...

    Rear Side Markers

    Thank you for clearing this up, I just swapped the power feed to the brown wire and it’s all finished up now. Much appreciated!

    Rear Side Markers

    Thank you - my understanding is that it is not a signal light, it is only a running light then.

    Rear Side Markers

    Or is it that the side marker light was never supposed to run as a running light? According to this diagram for 73-76 stepside models it only appears to be hooked up to the signal power…and not any running light power. Or is it vice versa? Am I reading this right?

    Rear Side Markers

    Hello Everyone, The stepside box I picked up for my truck has the rear marker lights in the fender. I bought new side markers and new sockets to go with it. I’ve spliced the side marker power into the marker light wire (yellow-18) on the factory harness but my issue is that it does not run as...

    Lockstrip Question

    Thanks a bunch, I was thinking the same thing. Guess I needed someone else’s assurance.

    Lockstrip Question

    Hi All, Just finished installing a new windshield in my truck. Everything went great until I got to putting in the lockstrip joint clip at the end. No matter what I did I couldn’t get it to pop in the channel in the rubber, ended up mangling the clip to the point it’s unusable. Is this...

    Fuel line too close to exhaust

    Hey everyone, finished it up. Was helping my buddy fix his truck outside of his dad’s fab shop, he whipped me up a heat shield. I welded some nuts on it so it’s an easy re and re when I have to replace the filter. I got an aluminum 100 micron filter from Earls and swapped it in, then I covered...

    Fuel line too close to exhaust

    We use a b@stard system of metric and standard in Canada. “You’re looking for the gas station? Yeah it’s about half a kilometer up the road then take a right about 50 feet after the mailboxes”

    Impressive write-up, thank you very much for the info. I’m going to save your comment, can’t ever have too much advice when it comes to hotrod tips and tricks.

    Fuel line too close to exhaust

    I’m going to get some aluminum sheet from princess auto and do exactly that, there’s already two holes on the bottom of the frame so it should work perfectly.

    Fuel line too close to exhaust

    I know this isn’t the proper thread…but since you asked for it . I bought the truck 7 years ago for $500, it was a rust bucket but it had a good frame and good papers. Swapped the V6 and th350 out for a 383 and a Super T10 that I pulled from a 78’ trans am and put a belltech 5/7 lowering kit on...

    Fuel line too close to exhaust

    It's a Mr. Gasket P95 pump, the installation manual recommended a 30 micron filter between the tank and pump and so I got a cheapo NAPA one. I'll swap it out for a metal one as I think the plastic one would be prone to melting or getting brittle from the heat.
