    Tank strap issue

    Mine are dual 16 gallon, I always assumed only long bed trucks got 20’s. Short bed K10. Measuring from the rear of the tank they’re about 4” to the leaf spring bolt. Hooking the rear strap about 12” to the leaf spring bolt Hooking the front strap about 31” to the leaf spring bolt

    Engine preoiler dirt cheap homemade.

    The most common DIY pressurized oil primers for the LS engines I have seen is just a $20 weed sprayer. People buy a cheapo weed sprayer, cut off the spray nozzle and clamp the hose to a fitting screwed into the oil passage just above the oil pump. I've seen some people drill a small hole near...

    Transmission lengths and transmission humps for 70s trucks + clutch cylinder discussion

    I swapped from mechanical to hydraulic in my ‘80 years ago to fit an NV1500 5 speed. Enlarged a hole in the firewall, and fabricated a linkage to fit a hydraulic master cylinder from a GMT-400. You can see the hole just to the right of the brake rod hole and below the Speedo cable hole...

    Serpentine Conversion

    Also, which valve covers? Need pictures! And… if you get an L31 water neck you can route the upper radiator hose behind the A/C compressor and probably get a stock hose to fit.

    LS fuel pressure regulation issue

    Corvette style "returnless" regulators still use a return line... Difference is the filter, regulator and return are one assembly that is mounted closer to the tank as opposed to the regulator and return fitting being part of the fuel rail

    LS fuel pressure regulation issue

    On my dual tank set up I had wired the switch valve wrong which would cause the return circuit to not flow correctly and would drive my fuel pressure up. I'd make absolutely certain the return line is free flowing before spending money on anything...

    Gas Filler Relocation

    The k5's have the filler door between the wheel well and the rear bumper but I'm not sure how well the filler will fit there on a truck bed. If you look on the inside of the truck beds there is a relief bump in the bed floor and bedside for the factory filler tube to pass through without being...

    Clue me in on R&R Trurn Signal Switch on an 86 GMC, please!

    Like @Broken85 @Jgonick @Gpaw44 said... There is a small lock tab on the connector, push the wire into the plug, depress the lock tab with a small tool and gently pull the wire out. Before reassembly, ensure the lock tabs are bent back out so they latch when inserting the wire some lock tabs...

    Fuel system help

    What year is your van? IIRC my L31 uses a signal from the CPS to the ECM and the ECM triggers the fuel pump with no oil switch. The ECM should have a 3-5 second prime cycle on the fuel pump when it sees the ignition powered up. My L31 harness also had a test port (single wire) tapped up to...

    Clue me in on R&R Trurn Signal Switch on an 86 GMC, please!

    I've never done one with the washer/wiper and cruise control on the turn signal stalk but I assume the rest of the process is the same. Should be one screw in the stalk, one screw in the center of the "Hazard" flasher switch, and two Phillips screws holding the switch to the column. When you...

    What is this thang on my 84' Silverado?

    The black part is just the insulation covering the splice from the wire to fusible link. The fusible links are the shorter pieces of wire with the lugs on the end.

    Advice on Transmission Fluid Change for 1980 C10

    I set my drain pan on a sheet pan (extra large baking pan 18”x26”) to catch the drips. But a trash can lid is probably easier to find

    Tank Selector Switch Dash Side Connector

    I just used female spade connections on the back side of the ’87 switch. I much rather would have used a pig tail with the appropriate harness plug if I could have found one. One thing to note is the switch didn’t fit in the hole for my 1980, I hade to grind the hole in the dash larger to get...

    LS3 430 or LS3 480?

    The GM connect and cruise package (LS376/480 with 4L70) comes with a 3k-4k stall converter... While a little higher than a stock torque converter shouldn't be too ill mannered for street use although, I'd bet the engine with the milder cam would be more suited to a DD truck with an automatic...

    If it’s that important to you take it to a professional paint store, many of them can scan the color and mix you a pint of paint.

    Tire Recommendations

    I have the Yokohama G-015’s in 33x12.50 and they’re okay, it’s too soon to tell how they will wear. My only complaint is the raised white letters are stained, I’ve tried everything to make them bright white with no luck. There’s lots of tires out there that are quite when new and get noisy as...
