    Do I restore my AC or?

    gm only initially retrofitted the instructions to 1988 After some years they made 1984 for some cars but they never officially went back further than 1988 but the AC in the trucks, to my knowledge, should be unchanged to the year they started using the R4. if you have an R4, i am pretty sure it...

    1988 Camaro

    i remembered my cousins first firebird had a edelbrock and everything about it was poorly done.. lol... hoodpins that they drilled a hole in the wrong place so they put two holes in and shoved foam peanuts inside All because it appears the hood release cable was broken so they removed the...

    Dual Battery

    id also recommend a continious duty version of the ford fender relay that replaced the ones that looked like that And since its not original, who is to say that one in the picture is the right kind anyway The reason Id recommend the relay version instead of solenoid is they have less potential...

    8.1 vortec into 1979 k30

    Invest in fuel injection hoses and replace the worm gear clamps. The ones from harbor freight are good.

    8.1 vortec into 1979 k30

    The knock sensor can be omitted for the time being and you won’t have as much ignition advance. Are you only equipped with one knock sensor or two? Factory calibration? Can I see your power steering reservoir

    Painting the valley is a good way to encourage good oil return. Certainly not a necessary thing but just mentioning

    GMC-IH

    While that’s good , I would be weary of the quality unless you’re ensuring a high quality manufacturer when you sourced them. I haven’t heard of them so I trust your judgement if you did. Then yes that is sufficient

    unless youre just desiring to take advantage of extra space elsewhere, removing your trans cooler from your radiator is actually pretty dumb. Unless you never drive this thing short trips or the winter, youll be under temperature Theres a specific reason for end tank coolers and when auxillary...

    GMC-IH

    you could use an end tank one, frankly i dont see a benefit to using a dedicated one esp since it wont then be warmed up with the coolant and maintained there being separate from the sounds of your cooling (normal coolant cooling) will be pretty good, with a restriction in the heater core pipe...

    later gmt400 oil coolers use different cooler line tech so if you ever had a mismatch that might help

    thats what i did, I dont remember if i needed to do both sides but it may have just been the side that the strap is in contact on the opposite side of the bracket maybe

    GMC-IH

    id also recommend a different alternator, one with a modern regulator like cs130 to cs130d and ad230 will have a soft start feature, meaning no belt loading until the engine is running less likely to squeal or slip and also helps the engine by making it less resistance to turning over And good...

    what year is that oil cooler from, the gmt400 have a lot of TSBs about them and if its from the 90s i will find some of them , because the bad issues range from leaks to oil starvation to dry starts

    Do I restore my AC or?

    the reason for being scary is explained in what I wrote about the contents of the cans being filled with so much *other* than refrigerant to displace the cost of that stated ounces on the can and sound appealing for people to "top up" a leaking system

    Who sells the best replacement gas tank

    I agree with metal tanks He just wanted a solution out of the seam being out far from the tank blocking the strap, the plastic one i figured would do that, then i also showed him why his strap didnt fit on the tank he tried :)

    Do I restore my AC or?

    Oh thats scary.. those things are FULL of dye, stop leak (might as well be cholesterol for HVAC components like lines and orifice tubes and compressors), and random universal oil of who knows what and then a tiny bit of refrigerant I had one in my 1977 LTD When i got it from the late 90s, its...

    Who sells the best replacement gas tank

    forgot to show you( yes this is a hole in my bed youre looking through) see the strap, I probably went a bit tight or maybe it just wasnt perfectly square in the recessed portion, but you see how my tank has the thing you couldnt get to work with? I just bent it flat The original tanks dont...
