    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Here's my new SPR TBI 46mm. OEM '94 uses the rotary TPS without the external metal lever: It's got new bushings, all the throttle shaft play is gone, shaved horns, decked and flow tested. $250 plus shipping both ways. If you buy matched injectors and have him work your pod it's $450 plus...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Not exactly. This post has been updated because the tuner mentioned has refused to honor the deal we made and confirmed. No names mentioned. See MOATES is back in business and it looks like the safest method, repeated to me for years, will NOT be burning my chip. Everything I repeated in...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    It's above your pay grade to find the court cases because of the Trade Association's heavy hand on this crap...dark Hand erased it from the internet. Some of the operatives for that org are likely undecover here, arguing with you? Nahhhhh, never.... You know if GM had to recall 450,000 over...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    Great work Auroragirl. The regulations mentioned in your 2007 refrence article show it has been under review since 2007 for Surge Brakes. However there is a lot of refrence to tight requirements and the regulations numbers in there. You can see how the regulation for a single valve, could...

    Remote Oil Filter

    Here's the next update. The headers installed are Hooker Cast Iron with 2-1/2" collector down-pipe. Harris tuning suggested eBay Cat's. So for $35 make offer each, the seller sold me converters, so I'm 50 state legal with the short exhaust. They are 3" and will be necked down as slip-over for...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    It is confusing because the warning sounds scary. I can see a guy reading that on a Monday and not realizing what's implied and getting it wrong for years. We should not be so hard on people who make mistakes here. AuroraGirl does an excellent job of showing what she knows is correct, yet the...

    We're all screwed. Scotty Kilmer is retiring after 3 billion views. The last mechanic allowed to speak the truth about cars is hanging up his cleets.

    CS130 & Power Steering Bracket Mod 87' Trucks

    Here's the lower OEM Alternator bracket: This bracket works great. There's no need to risk cheap parts from the internet just to hold your alternator up. The OEM hardware is better than what you get in the ghetto kits. The PowerMaster does not require the exciter circuit to run. It has been...

    CS130 & Power Steering Bracket Mod 87' Trucks

    Several people have commented lately about how aggravating it can be to mount a CS130 and power steering in the very odd year 1987 Trucks. For those of you with older heads and belt systems, this thread will only aply if you upgrade to the L31 Vortec engine or use the much stronger serpentine...

    You can buy specialty thick washers for your welding project. You'll need to contact ORD for the extra long greasable bolts. Hire a professional welder so you don't hurt somebody welding thin washers on your front spring perches. They need to work without failing in a crash and need to be done...

    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    Jag's That Run makes a unit, if they still have them available. But they do not reluctor with a transmission controller for signal. Had to add a reluctor wheel to my 4L80-E build internally. That said, you are 2WD? JTR unit, if they have one, MAY not work with the Transmission controller...

    Check the drag link is centered properly off the bump stops at both knuckles before you align. Who knows if they will align the drag link before they try to align? You would hope so.

    EVAP Canister Mod - Non-EGR Legal Vehicles Only

    Here's what my set-up looks like on an 11 year or older vehicle. Didn't just block it off, in case there's some reason the ECM might be screwed up or fuel maps effected by the OEM emissions program. Be great if it can be deleted with a eprom burn. My state does NOT require emissions if the...

    Scored Another One -Pushbar

    Here's the 87-91 in aluminum: No top tabs like the unit you found. Bumper is slightyly different than the shape you got. You can clearly see where tabs would go. This guy is selling on eBait for $700. You might want to fabricate a couple bends and see if it flies for $700, all day...

    Why did GM do this???

    Prairie Drifter, your point has me considering adding a set of diagonal braces from the top of the frame flange welded to the 1/4 inch plates, at a long angle to the cross member, so the cross member cannot flex the frame flanges side to side. If I box it for 6- inches each side and angle...

    1987 Blazer Front Suspension Upgrade, Springs, Bushings, Hangers, Steering Box/Shaft

    If they are not ruined, you might try to weld and ream then use new grade 8 washers. The inner tubing for OEM bushings has a "crown" on each end. This tube is cemented to the OEM rubber bushing material. When you tighten the bolts on an OEM spring hanger and bushing, you want to crush the...

    Suggestions on a shade tree alignment process would be apreciated. The rear 14-Bolt is narrower than the front, same as the Corporate 10-Bolt it replaced. Not by much, but enough the front cannot be easily squared using a straight 4x4 timber. Who knows if the frame is bent after 38 years...
