    SM465 LS MANUAL SWAP

    I think this will be a major undertaking. Could be wrong, but it sounds like a lot of time and money and maybe some frustration.

    Fuel line too close to exhaust

    I would relocate the fuel filter to a different location, and connect those hoses with a brass coupler. Then I would zip tie the fuel line to the frame, using those holes in the frame that are to the left of the fuel filter. If you are worried about temps, just get some aluminum heat shield...

    2024 Chevy Tahoe Center Console Installed In A 78 K5.

    The center consoles sell for about $350 new / used / locally / eBay. Regardless of where, $350 seems to be the going price. I got mine on Marketplace for $100, and the seller drove over 100 miles to meet up. It was not out of his way, he just happened to be coming to my area on that day...

    Wanted: K5 Blazer arm rests.

    I need the parts to stack on top of my existing ones so that the armrest on the door matches the height of the new center column. The stock door ones are too low, so they were never used as an armrest. Now that there are center armrests at a good height, I would like to get the door rests up to...

    Engine cranks but doesn’t start. I believe it’s my timing in my distributor.

    Prolly flooded. Crank for 10 seconds with throttle wide open. Wait 30 seconds and try that again. Then report back.

    2024 Chevy Tahoe Center Console Installed In A 78 K5.

    Haven't gotten around to taking pics yet, but ya I can do that I spose. It think its a great upgrade. Gives the cab more of a "cockpit" type feel, it looks great, lots of storage, and its also really nice to have a flat level place to set things. Having the armrest there is great too. Usually...

    Electrical issue with my lights.

    If all else fails, you can run a jumper wire from a working one to a non working one. Front left turn signal to left rear turn signal. This is not an ideal solution, but it does work - usually.

    2024 Chevy Tahoe Center Console Installed In A 78 K5.

    I literally ripped the center console out of my 78 K5 with my bare hands and throw'd it up against the garage door. It was a piece of **** and it deserved nothing less! In its place, I installed a center console from a 2024 Chevy Tahoe. It has cup holders, an upper storage compartment, a...

    454 shake and noise troubleshooting

    Ya, probably a lifter - however sometimes a cracked exhaust manifold or leaking exhaust manifold gasket can mimic the sound of a lifter.

    Finally got squarebody!

    Tire age is listed at the end of the DOT code. The DOT code is on both sides of the tires, but date code is only listed on one side of the tire and is listed at the end of the DOT code, and ALWAYS ends in 3 or 4 numbers, no letters. (3/4 of the people generally do not understand that...

    454 shake and noise troubleshooting

    The shop screwed up big time. Either by accident or on purpose. They should fix that for free, but may be trying to juice you for more cash. The shaking is caused by a steady cylinder misfire, or maybe 2.
