    Ignition Coil Resistance Specifications

    I ended up here on this diagram for a no-start. What all would you guys check?

    No Spark

    I've been reading some guides on diagnosing a no spark condition but they lose me when they start talking about the ignition coil. I think my distributor is setup differently. I'm going to post some pics here of what I have.

    No Spark

    Hey guys, The situation is this: I installed new heads on my truck and when I did so I removed everything around them. I have since reassembled everything the way I remember it being before but I have no spark. You guys are more familiar with these trucks than I am (I promise) so what could...

    Alternator Mounting

    So I ended up cutting the part of the bracket that bolted up by the thermostat housing and I built some spacers and made the connection to the passenger side cylinder head sturdier. Seems like it'll work out just fine like this. Giants dudes.

    Alternator Mounting

    Sup guys, '83 GMC K1500 w/ 350 here. So after installing a different intake manifold it's come to my attention that I no longer have a bolt hole on said intake manifold on which to bolt the alternator bracket. What's the standard fix for this? Thanks for any ideas.

    Power Steering

    It's all good man, I did snatch that thing up right quick lol. I should have it here this week sometime. I'm dying to get this truck going again, I've been working on it since April. It was a California truck and I did away with much of the emissions system on it and went to some aluminum...

    Power Steering

    Thanks, Chengny. 50 posts dude!? That seems like overkill. I understand wanting to discourage spam and all but I would hate to stick my nose and random posts and say something pointless just to meet the quota... oh well.

    Power Steering

    So that looks very similar to my bracket but mine is a little simpler. I attached a picture of the P.S. bracket I removed from my truck and circled the attachment points on the bracket that broke off. I called the local dealer's parts department and gave them my VIN and they told me the part...

    Power Steering

    What's up guys? I have an '83 K1500 and I have discovered that my power steering bracket is totally jacked. 2 out of 3 mounting points are broken off and so the pump has quite a bit of play and occasionally makes some noises. But, for the life of me I have been unable to secure a...

    anyone want to watch me tear down a small block?

    350 Disassembly

    I hope to God some of you will be able to help me put this thing back together later LOL Had to remove the heads because the driver's side has two exhaust manifold bolts broken off in it; courtesy of the previous owner's mechanic. I'm going to take the opportunity to replace gaskets and such...
