    Brush Guard, watchu tink?

    Used to live in Pearland and yeah, I picked up a lot of bad driving habits out of necessity just to make my exits and lane switches. Houston is full of drivers that, quite frankly, don't care. That's why there's always accidents all day, every day, on every major road/highway.

    Bubba's Brake Bleeder: A Guide

    I'm sure that brake bleeding is universal or whatever but for the people like me who don't know what the hell they're doing, this is for you. This is my first time bleeding brakes on all 3 of my cars at once in one attempt. It became a multi-day affair because of the ****ing mosquitos but...

    Brush Guard, watchu tink?

    Just installed a Luverne brush guard on my truck. It only had two of the original 7/16"-14 cage nuts. I kept those on the top of the pillars and used a 7/16"-14 1-1/4" bolt for the cage nuts with a snap ring and washer. Since the bottom of the pillars did not have cage nuts I used 1/2"...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    I used the following set up for fuel pressure and was getting around just over 3 psi while the engine was running and a little more than 4 when the engine was off/shut off valve was closed. I still need to check fuel volume. The engine sounded best at around 15.5-16.5 inHg. At 17 inHg the engine...

    Show me your SBC fuel pressure gauge/regulator setups.

    I have an M4ME Quadrajet on my 350 5.7 sbc. Here is the fuel pressure gauge with a quarter turn shut off valve for troubleshooting. I got the idea from a significant figure named "lars" over at the corvette forums. My fuel pressure was a little over 3 psi when running and a little over 4 psi...

    Fuseable link

    I think you should be good because 1) If I'm not mistaken, the blower motor amp draw is around 6 amps. 14GA takes like 15 to 20 amps 2) You know where the fusible link is so you don't have to track anything down. I personally like inline fuses because they're easier to...

    Courtesy light/door switch question

    Do you have a picture of the switch itself? A picture may offer some insight. I posted about rebuilding them here and they were just one wire that was powered by a single wire and completed ground with the cab where they screw on bare metal. If there isn't one, I'll bet you can can just tap into...

    Also don't blow compressed air in the EVAP can, at least while everything is hooked up to the carb...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    @Grit dog Here's the pump in post #21: Edelbrock Part #17303 (I'm 90% sure). Just for clarity, the accelerator pump was working and moving; it was the power piston, which metered the primaries, that was stuck shut somehow. Maybe there's a connection between the two but I'm just stating it to be...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    So the 4MV had a different fuel inlet and I didn't want to jank together a makeshift fuel connection. I ended up cleaning up the OEM (I think) M4ME. One thing I noticed during disassembbly, aside from all the bits of charcoal in the bowl, was that the power piston was slammed down and wouldn't...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    @Snoots No catalytic converter @Ricko1966 I haven't run the vacuum test on the carb yet. I was able to turn on my truck and turn it around so I don't get a ticket until it started giving me problems again. This is the fuel pump I have and it's delivering fuel but I did not formally check volume...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    Got the new canister and test drove it yesterday with everything hooked up. All the EFE/AIR Pump stuff has been deleted. I drove it and it died again, thankfully before I left my neighborhood. I thought it was the venting thing again so I disconnected all the vent lines to the fuel tank and took...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    @DoubleDingo Yeah I'm picking up what you're putting down. This post was ultimately meant to be a question to the community with some back story, as you mentioned. I'll just keep it concise next time. Thanks

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    Fair enough. I'm also using this forum as a truck diary/library lol. TL;DR Engine stalled and eventually started rough idling. I cut the vent hose between the evap can and gas tank and it started up. Please help me fix

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    I am going to throw money at a new canister and a new PCV valve. I have part number 17061005BT so it's probably original and needs to get replaced anyways. I see that my PCV valve is covered in oil so I am going to replace that as well as all the vapor/vacuum hoses I touch. Here is my hose routing

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    No bites yet from this crowd but in my research I found this image. It may be useful to someone out there.I don't know if it's exactly for GM but it seems exactly what I have for my 5/6 port. I just hate not knowing what's going on in the black box and I don't want to cut my hard-to-find...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    I tried doing some research and didn't find anything relevant so here is a new thread. There is a question at the end, I am just trying to give as much back story as I can. Without further adieu... So last week I was changing out the fuel sender on my stock 350 sbc QJet-M4M3 1983 K20 p/u and...

    Door Jamb Switch Restoration

    The only problem about buying new switches from what I gathered were the length of the actual switch or the threads not fitting the hole. In some instances they seemed to be too long for the door to close properly or were not the right size for the preexisting hole in the body. I didn't want to...

    Door Jamb Switch Restoration

    Have you thrown away parts because "they're cheap" or because you thought they were no longer useful or work cleaning? I just wanted to let everyone know as a PSA that restoring these door jamb switches are insanely easy. Mainly because of how dumb the switches are. No complications at all. Just...

    Parking Brake Light Not Coming On

    So I tested the parking brake switch and it produced ground when it was supposed to just as our messiah and savior Paul Hitch intended to. When I tested the prop valve, the gauge side of the circuit was grounded (more than likely from the engaged parking switch) but the prop combo valve was not...

    Parking Brake Light Not Coming On

    So I found sometime last week to do a quick test. The switch only had one wire that was brown/tan with a white stripe and it essentially just connects the circuit to the ground. This is looks like it's done by screwing into the parking brake assembly which is bolted to the body which is...

    Parking Brake Light Not Coming On

    Good Evening. I am trying to trouble shoot my brake light not coming on on my dash. I have never seen it on once and never again. I have new bulbs + sockets and know that the bulb is working because I have bench tested each light and gauge for functionality so, I know it's not the bulb unlike...
