    No start and I am stumped

    Well we got it started. We knew it was something stupid we were overlooking. Evidently the carb float stuck and was keeping the engine flooded. Fixed the carb and she started right up. With the cam and crank set to 12 o clock lol. Sorry had to as long as the distro is set correct 12 and...

    No start and I am stumped

    Hey I need some ideas. 73 gmc c1500 with a 454 and th400. It dropped compression on a cylinder so we ripped it apart and put in new rings, main bearings, rod bearings and cam bearings. Put it all back together and no joy. It will crank for days, but will not start up. We checked...

    454 Accessory Brackets

    My daughters 73 c1500 454 blew a head gasket, so like any of us I did some upgrades. Upgraded to a hydraulic roller cam, and some 1.7 roller rockers. Some valves were looking bad so got the 049 heads reworked with new valves, guides, seals and springs. Problem I am having is when I built it...

    Fuel return help needed

    The return line should run to the pump just like the feed line. They are both rubber that convert to steel at the back of the engine, then back to rubber to connect to the fuel pump. I just replaced mine as well. G

    Opinions on grounds needed

    I will follow the big3 and do those as well, but for the back I am thinking adding a ground strap on each side from where the lights ground to the body and chain it to the frame hopefully it will fix this issue G

    Opinions on grounds needed

    I suspect it is where the rear lights ground to the bed or where the bed is grounded to the frame. The sockets are all new as I installed an aaw full harness. G

    Electrical gremlin

    So got a little bit of an issue let’s get right to it. So with headlights off all signals work properly. However if you turn on the headlights, the reverse lights also come on and the rear turn signals do not work. The side indicators still work just not the main break lights. Before I get...

    Sending unit/general questions

    Hey everyone it’s been a minute. Well took black beauty out for a while and she ran out of gas, while the gauge read 1/4 of a tank. So we are going to nip this in the butt. Plans are to replace the tank, sending unit, fuel pump and all the rubber in between. The truck has a saddle tank that...

    LMC Parts

    Just like everyone else says. Lmc for the trim and hard to find stuff, because their shipping is horrible. For the usual stuff I go with summit if they have it as most items I get next day with normal shipping. Autozone and oreillys here doesn’t even stock the copper spark plugs anymore so I...

    Kill switch which wire?

    i know, I’ve read most of the other posts about these. I guess my real question is will a simple 20 amp switch hold up to the load that is supplied to the starter at crank? If not then I will just go with the neutral safety switch line. But lol I just answered my own question, since I know...

    Kill switch which wire?

    So I have converted the ash tray into a max max style kill switch pic below. Just trying to decide which wire would be the best. Cool wire or starter would work or even the neutral switch. Any of them better than the others? The switch setup is 3 dpdt switched and a push button disguised as...

    Wiring harness options

    I just rewired my daughters 73 454 with the aaw kit. Best decision ever, biggest difference I see between painless and aaw is that the aaw kit includes new light sockets for everything and the painless does not. Both kits are good, I had originally ordered the painless, but cancelled as the...

    Bulb and ignition switch questions

    Thanks for the pic of the manual that clarifies a lot about the bulbs, but my side marker lights are different even from those listed so i will have to try to match up the ones that came out. Does anyone have any insight into the other two questions? G
