    What have you done to your square lately??

    Nothing exciting - the passenger side brake light bulb bit the dust sometime between Friday and this morning. No idea when as I watch for lights/signals in the dark. At any rate, out with the old 1157 and in with a 2357. It will work but it a bit brighter. I just grabbed one that had dual...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Changed the drivers side headlight in the dark - do they go out in the light ? :think: At any rate, a simple job involving a Torx T15, a Phillips, and a flat head. Umm, yeah - some of my torx are MIA and replaced by someone in the trucks past. Best part is that I did not get a Halogen as I...

    Worth a try, but we just had a '92 S-10 ( spider injection ) that took an ignition coil so my guess would be that. Your guess is cheaper, though. :cool:

    What's this wire?

    Mine only has 1 temp sensor, but, if you got new bad gauges ... One other random thought - notice that ground wire in my loom running over to the thermostat ? I do not see that on yours.

    What's this wire?

    Should have known, but had to go look. 1980 Suburban - that is for the ac idle up solenoid. Pics!

    Yeah, a '75 definitely would have had an ammeter originally.

    It looks like there is a second pulley on the power steering pump - is there also a blank one on the harmonic balancer ? hat would seem to line up. Sorry - guessing as I am a small block guy here. :anitoof:

    Let us know how it works ! :waytogo: But, to be safe, hold on to that OE one. You may need it in a year or so.:patriot: Thanks for the links and best of luck. Britt

    How challenging is replacing brake master cylinder?

    I actually don't recall that being an issue on Goldie, but I have an open rear differential. :think:

    How challenging is replacing brake master cylinder?

    I can tell you Wild Turkey 101 is frequently cited for its superior buzzability by yours truly ... :dogpile::drink_nl:

    How challenging is replacing brake master cylinder?

    Try loosening the nuts that hold the master cylinder to the booster - don't disconnect brake lines. If the rears free up the new master cylinder is the issue.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No pics, as I was at work, in the parking lot ... Changing the blown out passenger side wheel cylinder. Which, ironically, I had ordered one earlier as I felt the passenger side rear brake was not doing as much as the drivers ...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No spark delay - it is at the house, in the box with the other hoses & connectors that came off. I individually plumbed the lines using the old preformed hoses & the schematic as a guide. My valve looked pretty much like that schematic pic - round with 4 ports. ( Image now attached ) The...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Maybe. I will check the hose routing later. The actual schematic from underhood is attached - the TVS is actually a 4 port and the only one not hooked up is the TCC as it is hooked direct to manifold vacuum ( prior tech routing & I left it as it works. )...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Trying to understand why it has so little ooomph at highway speeds and thought maybe if it had additional advance it would help. I am also trying to figure out why it throws some sort of smoke under WOT w/ the EGR hooked up but not without. Maybe that is the residual exhaust from the EGR...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I am going to answer my own question ! The check valve allows vacuum to open it, and you can blow thru it the opposite direction since you are forcing the check open similar to the vacuum pulling it open. ( Try it !! It's kind of counter intuitive ... :think: ) At any rate, you would think...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I had a flash of inspiration on the way in regarding the vacuum for the distributor advance at WOT. When using manifold vacuum, it disappears. Hmmm. What happens if you put a check valve in ? So, I tried it. Had to reinstall the valve as I had it backwards the 1st time. :anitoof...
