    Check out this 73!

    This truck has definitely caught my attention. Looks to be in great condition, factory 454, unmolested, lots of documentation. I am considering bidding on it to go along with my Blazer. What would you guess it would sell for? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-chevrolet-c10-pickup-32/

    Ford 460 project

    So our K9 Officer buddy got himself a project Ford truck with no drivetrain and then picked up a 460 that had been in a motorhome. I rebuilt an Edelbrock carb I had for it, then we decided to bring it to my shop to see if the engine was salvageable. It had been stored outside with no carb for an...

    Exhaust gas analyzer

    Anybody have a recommendation for an Exhaust Gas Analyzer that will provide AFR info? Looking at a couple of vintage Sears tools like the one pictured below, but going that route can be risky. Was hoping for a modern digital tool if not priced way high.

    Edelbrock build

    Last night our K9 Officer friend was over to work with Kelly and Ranger and we got to discussing his new project, a 74 Ford truck that he bought a 460 to fix up and drop in. He mentioned he needed a carb and I told him I had a 1406 Edelbrock that has sat around in pieces (completely...

    Power Steering pump pulley type

    Can somebody confirm the type of ps pump pulley this is? I assume it’s a Saginaw press fit, but would like to confirm. The end of the shaft has an internal hex, then there are threads past the hex.

    Reverse rotation water pump

    Been thinking of going to a single serpentine belt system with spring loaded tensioner. Talking with the mfg (Marsh) they do not offer such a system for a MKIV big block without also changing to a reverse rotation water pump. If you don’t change pumps you have to settle for a two-belt system (in...

    Heater core

    I’ve read quite a few threads here dealing with heater cores and many recommend a Summit brass unit. Is this the correct one? (1975 Blazer, with air, originally had a 350)

    What is this?

    I’m sure someone here can tell me what this is. It’s a single blade connector, for what I have no idea. Although my 75 Blazer has a 454 now, I’m pretty sure this was here when it had the original 350. It’s mounted right above the steering gear.

    Brake drum adjusting hole cover

    I’m finishing up the rear drum brakes on my 75 Blazer and was looking for the metal plugs used to cover the adjusting screw hole in the drum. Does anybody make these? I assume the rubber plugs for the backing plate would be a bad idea for the drum.

    Spare tire carrier

    Still looking for new of these spare tire carriers. They mount behind the Blazer rear seat. Apparently not real common!

    F350 back to work

    Got the 1999 F350 back from paint! Looks pretty good, much better than before. Before I took it for painting I removed the running boards, rear bumper and emblems. Also replaced the headlights and taillights. The body is rust and dent free, minus a few small dings here and there so there were no...

    TH350 oil level, engine off

    I am planning to install a temperature sending unit in my TH350 and was leaning towards installing the unit in the 1/8” NPT pressure tap port, circled in yellow. With the engine off and tranny cold is this port above the fluid level ( assuming not overfilled) or will I need to drain fluid before...

    TH350 intermittent leak

    I have an intermittent leak from my transmission that puzzles me. It’s a TH350 behind a 454 and driving a NP203 transfer case in my 75 Blazer. Transfer case is stock therefore full-time 4WD. Everything drives fine with no issues. The only thing I’ve done to the transmission was replace the...

    Garage upgrade

    Been manually lifting the 12 x 12 shop door and pulling a rope to close it for 10 years or so. Kinda a PITA coming and going but I was too cheap to pay for a door opener just for convenience as physically I had no problem raising and lowering it. Then last weekend we pulled up in the Blazer and...

    Aluminum side molding removal

    Any tricks or special tools for removing the aluminum rear side molding on my 75 Blazer? I remove the screw back by the tailgate and can easily slide the molding back a few inches until the front end hits the clip. How do you release the molding from the clips without destroying anything?

    Head versus manifold coolant temps

    When I installed my new radiator and electric fans, I installed the fan temp switch (190 F turn on) in the left side head. The coolant temperature sensor is installed in the intake manifold and was not touched. Normal coolant temps run right around 190 F. and can be monitored via the Dakota...

    Father-Daughter Shop Day

    Had a great couple hours in the shop with youngest daughter, replacing brake pads all the way around on her new-to-her car. She did a great job!

    New alternator install

    I’m planning to install a higher output alternator to keep up with the electric fuel pump and dual electric fan radiator in my 75 Blazer. I’ve studied my schematics and read numerous threads here regarding upgrading charge wire size and wanted to run this by the group before I start. The new...

    Intake manifold to head port mismatch

    I pulled the valve covers on the 454 and recorded the casting numbers on the heads. As I posted elsewhere recently, the engine is a 1971 LS5 365 hp originally in a Chevelle. The vintage Weiand intake manifold (PN WCPSQ) is for the large, rectangular port heads. My heads are oval port (casting...

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Shopping for a dash pad for my Blazer and was looking at LMC. Read here that their pads were supplied by Dashes Direct, but when I asked LMC they said that was not true. They also didn’t volunteer who their supplier was. I figured maybe someone here would know. Dashes Direct is out of my dash...

    Resistor question

    Getting ready to remove and paint the LH side inner fender on my 1975 Blazer and can’t determine what this large resistor is for. Truck came from factory with air, auto and 350 engine. Figure someone here knows for sure!

    What is this please!

    Can somebody tell me what this part is? It’s bolted to the inner fender on the passenger side on my 75 Blazer, which was originally a 350 engine. I looked thru the factory service manuals for the heating system but just don’t see it!
