    Low oil pressure but engine runs great

    My '75 350 always runs at 30-35 PSI. If it's over 100 degrees out it runs about 25 at idle. I run 10W30. I have 2 mechanical gauges, factory in dash and SW in a panel. It seems low to me and I'm always watching the gauges but like you, the engine runs quiet and smooth. Try hooking up a...

    Heater Motor?

    It used to be open wing windows were the "flow through ventilation".

    Rear Wheel is Stuck !!

    Obviously the tire/rim assembly hasn't been off in awhile. If you rotate your tires a couple times a year, they should come off easier. If there's a chance the rim rusts to the hub or drum, use some antiseize. I've never lived in a climate where the rim sticks like that but I've had many tires...

    Oil Pan Gasket Change Out... what else?

    While you've got the pan off, how about a new oil pump and drive connector?

    Oil fill extension tube

    You're right, no problem at all working under the hood, everything is easily accessible. It's simple and reliable, parts are common and most everything is not metric. NAPA probably carries the gaskets and if you're careful, you can work them on and off.

    front disc squeal?

    I've found that dust and dirt is the most common cause of brake squeal for my vehicles. Pull the tire/rim assembly and do a visual, check for rocks stuck in the caliper rubbing on the rotor. I guess I'm just up the road from you in Dolan Springs. Welcome

    Oil fill extension tube

    Looks great! I'm glad it was what you needed. It was just sitting on my bench gathering dust. Nice shiny valve cover. One of these days, I'll take a picture of mine.

    Oil fill extension tube

    Yes, I would have to switch valve covers. They're not leaking so I won't flip them. I dont really need the extension. When I change oil, I just remove the air cleaner and I never have to add oil between oil changes. It was more of "making it easier" thing.

    New to the group

    Welcome from NW AZ. Good luck with the Blazer. I see 2WD Blazers about once every two or three years, always thought they would be fun to own and drive, maybe one day.

    Hubs

    Sometimes I'll leave the hubs locked on my '75 K/20 in 2WD. 90% of my driving this truck is off road, no asphalt. If it's bare dry pavement, I unlock the hubs. If it's just sitting or driving on wet or icy pavement, I'll leave them locked.

    Hey, Lugnut, that's a nice looking truck you have. What color is the interior, not red I hope?

    Oil fill extension tube

    I have one that I bought new for my 1975, unfortunately, the snorkel on the air cleaner housing is in the way. You can have it for the cost of shipping. I may have bought two, if I find the one still in the package you can have that one. They are both chrome. I'll go look for them. Let me know...

    Battery posts corrosion wtf

    In my experience, baking soda and water mix will neutralize the corrosion, do it a few times, overnight soaking the clamps is the best. After 5 years, I buy new batteries, period.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mine was just basic maintenance. I just replaced the original fuel hoses on the fuel pump, 47 years of service. Thought I had a coolant leak when I looked under the front end but popped the hood and there was fuel pumping out. Good thing I wasn't out off roading.
