Bouncing speedometer
i’ve been fighting this for a few weeks now and would like to follow up on you’re insight on cable resistance comments above. I’ve got a new speedometer and I’ve rebuilt the cruise control box (and opened it back up and double checked it to make sure there’s no unnecessary play or binding in...- spedigo

soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?
cool, thanks. Yeah, that’s basically what I did this morning before work. I put some thick paste in there, and I tried it with the new push rod and the original push rod from the old booster (neither are adjustable). there’s a 3/8 difference between the two. The old one is longer. with the old...- spedigo

soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?
yeah, I had read that somewhere before. I didn’t compare to the old ones bore size since I knew the one I was purchasing was the larger size, 1 1/8. I measured it at oreilly before I purchased it to make sure because some of them were definitely smaller. And also to make sure that the pushrod...- spedigo

soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?
as far as I know, it’s always been JB5 brakes. At least the power booster I took off was. Assuming that was a Big Ten thing. Booster and master cylinder are both brand new. that’s why I was assuming that pushrod length must be off a little bit and that’s where the difference is...- spedigo

soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?
I just replaced the master cylinder and the brake booster on my 79C 10. Afterwards I have a soft pedal or you might say it has a long travel before it engages near the bottom. Grab‘s fine at that point but definitely not like it was before. Yes, I bench bled the new master cylinder and there...- spedigo

Wanted Cruise Control Rod/Link
could you just use a static bolt to the carburetor throttle arm or does it need to slide when the cruise is not in operation? -

Wanted Cruise Control Rod/Link
wondering if you could explain a little further? I’ve never actually seen mine working but I’ve been going over all the parts that I currently have. I took the transducer apart and cleaned it up and the solenoid works. All the other electrical seems fine and the servo seems fine. So, I was gonna... -

starter measurements
want to be sure I get a correct starter. I’ve got a 1997 block with a new 168 tooth flex plate. Apparently my 1969 starter that came with my truck is not happy with that. Seems like the throw on the Bendix and the length of the nose cone is just a bit too short. I need another 16th to 1/8 of...- spedigo

What's this dohicky
i’ve got a leak between the master cylinder and the booster. It’s running down the bottom of the booster. Is that most likely just an O-ring or seal on one of the Pistons? no idea how old that master cylinder is based on its condition when I bought the truck I doubt it’s more than a couple of... -

aftermarket tachometer question
just in case anybody’s wondering, there is a difference between the LMC tachometer and the one from OER/classic industries. I got the one from OER today and there is a tab on the face plate under the needle and a little adjustable Stop to set the needle (fine tune) where you want it when the...- spedigo

aftermarket tachometer question
well, LMC told me that their expectation is that it is supposed to rest at zero when the power is off. So they’re sending me a new one.- spedigo
