    Experienced masters, please provide restoration guidance

    IMHO When people loosely use the term restored,restoring restoration. To describe installing the wrong carburetor,a cheap paint job,a 200 stereo,and a hog ring seat cover. It cheapens the term restoration for the guys that actually take the time and spend the money to restore them. And it...

    96 Fuel Pump Strainer Does Not Fit

    Here's a little tid bit for you. A 305 and a 350 there are 45 CID difference. They run the same TBI,the same ECM I believe the same PROM,they run the same fuel pump. The only thing I know they change for sure is larger injectors. I honestly believe that is the only change. Now you have added 38...

    Kind of a strange cooling system issue

    Try pinching the heater supply hose most of the way shut with vise grips,not completely shut just restricted. See if both problems go away. I thought I already posted this but saw it was still sitting here waiting for me to hit post a day or 2 later.

    Fuel line connections on buchered 85

    I'd bet you he's looking at the rear brakeline and the tank vent to the charcoal canister. Want to bet? It's his first post also want to bet on if he ever comes back? You know they have an 800 number for compulsive gamblers? I'll bet you that doesn't work.

    Fuel line connections on buchered 85

    You are looking at the vent lines from the tanks to the charcoal cannister. Your fuel lines are on the passenger side frame rail just a ahead of the passenger side motor mount. Should be 2, 1x3/8ths 1x1/4" maybe 5/16ths 3/8ths is the feed the smaller is the return. Your pump should have 3...

Homebrewed HEI keeping the original distributor in a 66 Chevelle. Anyway was looking for some specs and...

    Kind of a strange cooling system issue

    As for constantly too cold I'd guess you don't have the correct fitting for your heater supply. The correct heater supply fitting has an internal restrictor the hole is about 5/16ths. The wrong fitting allows to much water bypass so seriously delays warm up. Try pinching your heater supply...

    Signs of a failing proportioning valve

    If the rear shoes get gear oil on them they get sticky, they want to lock up,they want to stick etc. Master cylinders are suppose to have .020 clearance between the pushrod and the master cylinder,incorrect clearance will cause a low pedal or brakes that drag sometimes.

    Kind of a strange cooling system issue

    Are you low on coolant,is your fan belt slipping? Look in the radiator to be sure,and check your belt. Stepping on the gas makes it cool down down,makes me think you aren't moving enough coolant or maybe even not enough air* fan clutch) at low rpm. Thermostat I'd expect it to stay hot as you...

    Signs of a failing proportioning valve

    The combination valve could have trash in it,it's not unheard of. It sounds more to me like you didn't check the clearance between the brake master and the brake booster.Was a master change just previous to when this started happening? If you hadn't said you just replaced all the brakes in the...

    Experienced masters, please provide restoration guidance

    I very seriously doubt you are going to restore it. Guys restoring vehicles will spend $2000.00 for an original radio thats the correct year. They won't be changing their engine they'll rebuild it to factory specs.They'll install the original GM rubber end seals on their intake so they don't...

    Anything ignition spark related in the gauge cluster?

    The unconnected 2 wire oil pressure switch was power to the electric choke. When the engine starts oil pressure closes the switch and provides 12v+ power to the choke. That's not going to keep it from starting but. It will prevent the choke from opening as it should. Messing with wiring now you...

    Where's the resistor in the coil pink wire from ignition switch?

    Easy enough to check. Backprobe the connector at the firewall check resistance to the coil terminal of your old harness. If it matches your resistance spec your information is true. If reads zero ohms,your information is incorrect. It is possible they went back to a resistance wire when they...

    Good R&R 16-gallon gas tank video?

    My bad you are right 8. I was in a hurry writing,not thinking as fast as I was typing. Still anyone actually doing it would have seen the bolts,sometimes people just need to do things,instead of looking for you tube videos.

    Good R&R 16-gallon gas tank video?

    By the time you watched 2 videos you could of had the tank out. They are stupid easy. Get a drill and some bits zip out all the filler neck hardware. Grab a 1/2 ratcheting combination wrench or a ratchet and socket, grab a 9/16 1/2 drive socket and some extensions. Grab an impact or a long 1/2...

    250 inline 6 Stalling issue, new to me truck!

    Do not run the throttle stop screw in any more than you have to,and remember to get things set right in the near future,so you can get the throttle stop screw back in its correct position. A throttle stop screwed in just a little too far robs fuel from the transition circuit to idle. Then when...

Push the tank up in the hole,cut my hoses to length push them on the truck,they'll be a little longer than factory,but I can judge it when I cut. Slip the clamps up,tighten them with a...

    88 burb blower motor keeps blowing fuse and poor air flow.

    It's not a different motor on the later squares,squares got the motor before the GMT 400. So the difference is early and late squares. Also as you decrease voltage the amperage draw increases,so running a straight 12v to the motor won't be an indicator as to what amperage the motor draws after...
