High Compression Woes, good fix??
If you are looking to lower the compression - Ya might be able to get spark plugs that do not protrude as far into the cylinder, and ones with larger cavities around the center electrode. You can increase or decrease compression a little by using longer or shorter plugs, at least to some degree...- Chevy 88

Driveshaft carrier bearing.
Options: Call the dealer with your VIN, and ask them the price of the part and the part number. Then give the part number to a local parts store. Or punch that part number into Amazon, eBay, Google shopping etc. Buy both sizes on Amazon, and do a free return on the unneeded one. Don't even...- Chevy 88

Engine cranks but no start
A flat spot on the tire is caused by old worn out air. You gotta change the air in your tires from time to time or that will happen.- Chevy 88

Did it run correctly before you were working on the distributor? If so, I suspect a distributor problem.- Chevy 88

I would check eBay, and the junk yards. Also, can you build spacers or custom brackets to make the wrong one work? -

XJ steering shaft mod
No idea if that's the part you need but, if it is: 1 day delivery versus between 3 and 8 days for delivery. 30 day returns verses 14 day returns. Free returns verses you paying for return shipping. QR code for return verses box and printed label. $47.32 verses $54.00 Faster delivery...- Chevy 88

Bleeding rear brakes on 1978 C30 dually
Anti-seize on the bleeders.. Hmm. That's a good idea. Haven't heard of that one before- but it makes sense. I usually bleed, and then tighten the bleeders to where they just barely leak when someone stands on the peddle. Then I tighten them a little more, clean the fluid away, then pressure test... -

Cheap Horsepower
Interesting topic. When I get a new rig, I always do a complete tune up so that I can get it up to spec, and then try to improve from there. I have seen people overlook some of the basics on increasing HP before. I know one guy that would use the most expensive oil he could find, so that his...- Chevy 88

4l60e - No Gears At All
Not long ago there was a similar post. The transmission was not doing what it was supposed to do. Some of the regulars might remember this one. Problem turned out to be a missing driveshaft. Kind of like the missing torque converter mentioned above, in my opinion its always best to start...- Chevy 88
