    Question about checking current flow to the choke.

    Put a test light on the choke lead somewhere you can see it from the driver seat. Keep the truck running with your foot. Does the light light. The choke hot wire should not keep your truck from starting and running cold. Have you tested your choke pull offs. They should pull the choke open...

    LS swap PSI harness

    What would have made sense was telling us you were using Dakota digital and didn't need your OE senders on the first post. You still we need a wire for the starter solenoid,unless your aftermarket harness has one. What about heater blower,wipers,and AC

    LS swap PSI harness

    ^^^^ There will be other wires you need. Alternator exciter,oil pressure,temp sender,fuel gauge sender,etc. Clean up what's not needed after EVERYTHING is in and working. Okay we are back to ads covering every inch of my phone screen. WTF!

    Question about checking current flow to the choke.

    Not necessarily the oil pressure switch behind the distributor. Some use the switch behind the distributor for the gauge/light and a seperate switch above the oil filter for the choke. Some use a dual function switch above the oil filter,some put 2 switches behind the distributor,and some have a...

    Question about checking current flow to the choke.

    That should be fine,but you have to have the truck running. Choke should not be fully closed at idle as soon as it fires the choke pull off should open the choke about 3/16ths. I am assuming everything is factory and still a quadrajet.

    Question about checking current flow to the choke.

    You pull the connection off the choke and read from the connector in your hand,to ground. The truck has to be running. The choke only gets power when there is oil pressure.

    Good reading about zinc and oil

    Some of those oils are actually too high and will cause problems. More than 14% causes wear more than 20% causes camshaft spalling.

    Aftermarket Carb

    Ruggles. went through a new quadrajet I'll get the name of the company in a minute. He's been into 2 of them now and he says you are better off to rebuild a core quadrajet the average consumer would never get all the problems corrected. I also saw a video I'll try to find it and link it...

    hypothetical, mpg

    I'm laughing seriously,because of all the years I've had my eyes open for an overdrive saginaw,I've found exactly zero, of any gear ratio. But I can throw a rock in any salvage yard and hit a 700r4

    hypothetical, mpg

    The three speed saginaws had 4 different 1st gear possibilities the lowest being 3.11 and 3.50 that would change things a little.

    hypothetical, mpg

    The factory 3speed OD transmissions were not a hang off the back deal. The overdrive was built into the transmission,was electrically operated and would freewheel instead of engine brake when you let off the gas. I'd think it would get as good or better than a 700 r4. They came with some steep...

    Fitech force fuel pump

    You'd have better luck getting answers if you posted a pic,a screenshot anything to clue us in. Unless you truly want to hear from people that have used that exact fuel pump and know it by name assuming force is the specific name of that pump and they don't have more than one version.

    What parts do you carry with you?

    Nothing but a few handtools and have very rarely needed them. For some strange reason my 40 year old junk is still reliable.

    Double Dingo's 1965 3/4 Ton "Crusty Biscuit"

    I'd bet it's back pressure regulated which is why it didn't hold vacuum when you tested it. Probably nothing wrong with the part you purchased.

    NP203 removal and rebuild

    The problem was with frame flex. Off road the frame flexes and twists and cracks the bellhousing as the gap between the bottom off the bell housing and bottom of the opens and closes due to stress. That's what the strut rods are suppose to prevent. I wasn't commenting about your leak,I was...

    Want to know whats really involved when doing a sound deadener installation, CORRECTLY!!

    Just for fun I pulled msds on por15 metal ready prep. Ospho,Kleen Strip,and Rust Cutter. They are all phosphoric acid. Which turns rust into iron phosphate. Again it's tge magic prep not the magic paint like POR wants you to believe.

    TV cable geometry

    I think your corrector didn't have the correct center to center distance that's the only thing that makes sense. You needed a longer pull that requires a longer center to center distance.

    Double Dingo's 1965 3/4 Ton "Crusty Biscuit"

    Backpressure regulated EGR valves don't hold vacuum unless they have enough exhaust back pressure to close a bleed hole. IDK if you purchased or were supposed to have a BPR EGR valve but I'd guess that's what you bought.

    Factory 4L80-E transfer case push rod?

    I'd use 2 heim joints and a threaded rod. Or even 1 heim joint a threaded rod and the original adjuster block.

    Which Master cylinder......mismatched parts

    And combination valve controls,proportioning,brake standoff,and has the shuttle valve. So if I were to use an adjustable proportioning valve I would use it in addition to a factory combination valve. I'd also probably investigate eliminating the proportioning portion of the factory combination...

    Wiring mystery

    Call Sargent is right in telling you you are missing the power feed on the junction block. Should be a 10 gauge red wire to positive battery originally probably off the starter or the back of the alternator. 10r2d is missing in your pic also if you look next to junction block,the metal strip is...

    NP203 removal and rebuild

    It keeps the gap from opening and closing between the bottom of the engine and the bottom of the block. That gap at the bottom of the block where there is no bolts to the block or bell housing just the top half is bolted. That spot is like a hinge it can open up or pinch and bow up,cracking...

    Ignition Assistance Needed

    If you pull the ignition switch back off and run it through it's full range of motion with a small screwdriver. If the truck starts it is almost for sure the ignition rack

    Widest tire using stock 15x8 rallies

    Before anyone pics what hole to use based on a visual. More importantly which position makes the driveshaft the right length. Fine and good to center the wheel,but check driveshaft length.
