    What kind of plug can I use?

    Good! Your second post clears up my thought. We used the hyd. electric brake controllers for years. @tophat36 Don't throw that brass adapter away. It fits many different years of GM vehicles. No longer available for the older GM vehicles. Sell it! I'll buy it.

    "Oldsmobile Diesel" Conversion to gas

    @backwoodsman Well as a collector item you are right. Not many still have the 350 oil burner, they have been swapped out. We had them back in the day in the fleet. Nothing but trouble. Carol posted real info from GM, they were covering their a$$. Cold start, make sure the block heater is...

    Yes, I'm new. As new as a 65 year old gearhead can be.

    Welcome to the forum! Won't hold that against you, working on Fords. Me I work on a fleet, medium duty trucks and all the light duty trucks are Fords. I thank the Lord every day for Fords, job security for me!

    "Oldsmobile Diesel" Conversion to gas

    Best use for that engine is a boat anchor in the lake.

    Settling on timing

    Yes, I have seen this a few times. One outer ring so loose you would see the timing mark move into view then disappear, few seconds and there it is again. Shut off the engine, could spin the outer ring with one finger.

    Need advice on how to tackle an issue on my '86 305

    Choke light wiring is super simple, starting in 1981: When there is no oil pressure, switch is open. Key on current through the light and grounds through the choke, not enough amps to effect the choke. Start engine, now choke light has 2 positive connections, light goes out. GM added the...

    Good Lord, It's a couple of Fords (1964 Ford 2000 & 1949 8N)

    Probably right. New Holland also picked up the service for the older Fords too. During my two year hiatus from working on the utility fleet, I worked for Modern Equipment. They were a New Holland dealer. Sent me out to fix old Fords too.

    Good Lord, It's a couple of Fords (1964 Ford 2000 & 1949 8N)

    New Holland made the Ford tractors for a while. Don't remember what years. That's another place you can check for parts.

    Help me build my truck - What should I do?

    Since you called out the NV4500, I'll throw out to you and others reading this thread my couple pennies... I have one in my '98 3500HD. Much nicer than the 465 I put years and miles on in the '74. One note that might be good to know, 1998 was the last year, no synchros on first gear. Starting...

    There is a grease fitting on the front CV joint too. Need a needle point adapter to grease it.

    Good sound with one pipe only

    This is interesting. I have one in the shop but haven't tried it yet. Very large 3 in 3 out glass pack. Years ago I had a 3" in 3" out International Harvester muffler on my pickup. Nice sound with a lower tone.

    @78C10BigTen Ted, are you coming to the Carlisle Truck show? Remember they moved me, A52-54.

    1990 K-2500 Suburban

    No Ted, it's gone. I posted that a month ago. I knew the truck and owner. Sold on Facebook for the $2500 price. When they are priced right they sell quick.

    Newby with a 74 square body trailer

    Most likely the last six numbers of the original truck vin. Most SB eight foot bed trucks, the frame drops down after front of the bed. Are the "A" frame parts bent to the coupler? So when are you getting the Square body truck to pull it?

    Anyone ever seen a sun roof in a Square body

    Company called LaVan made sunroofs as well as pop open side glass. I installed a sunroof in my wife's TR7. Yes, cutting the hole almost gave me a heart attack! All ended up well and it did not leak, unless you left it open in the rain. The box it was packed in had a picture of a TR7 as well as...

    Turn signal assembly

    Hi Paul, Turn signals are for indicating a turn. Cornering lights are a separate feature to light up the side of a vehicle, while turning, to see what is next to the vehicle.

    SM465 LS MANUAL SWAP

    Unless it was trash, you could have sold the TH400. But smashing it might have been rewarding?

    SM465 LS MANUAL SWAP

    This ^^^ @tjw82c10 "I'm sure its out there but I cant find a guide on this swap anywhere nor are there any genuine good videos on you tube." This also tells you no one is doing this swap.

    Turn signal assembly

    Now is the time to add the same switch from a full size GM sedan. It has the 3 extra wires for the cornering lights. You could wire it up when the headlights are on, powers up the turn signal cornering lights. And yes, you need to add the lights.
