    This can't be good....

    Throughout the years, I would stop to assist. Lost track of the number of tires I've changed and cars I've towed out of a ditch. Not bragging, just wondering if some degree of Car-ma (ha ha) exists. I do have to share this latest one... A couple years ago, We were pulling into a parking lot at...

    I will say, there are still good citizens out there. 2 different folks stopped to see if we needed anything. One even offered to pull our camper the rest of the way into the park.

    Sorry, I had to grab dinner and couldn't complete the post...lol So, none of the mechanical systems appeared to be the problem. Once we got home from camping, I started to pull the wiring harness out from behind the block. That would be the fuel gauge wire, starter wires, alt wire, oil...

    This can't be good....

    Well... Let me start by saying this snafu was completely my fault. After the refresh I had run the truck for almost 2 weeks and no problems. I decided to use it for the camping trip. Within a half mile of the park...BANG!!! Everything went dead. 5 seconds later...BANG!!!...again (of similiar...

    That's what is in there. In the one pic, it nay not be connected for purposes of just getting it out of the way and not dribbling coolant.

    It goes to the heater core.

    Is this a TH350 & which flex plate???

    No. Gaskets, spool springs, Plates and steel check balls instead of the rubber ones. Even govenor springs and "O" ring. And the instructions are very straight forward..

    Long tube headers vs short tube vs manifolds

    I have tires from political influence... Kumho....

    Is this a TH350 & which flex plate???

    Yep, 350. TransGo makes a fantastic shift kit for under $100. On a scale of 0-10 with 10 being very difficult, I would say it's a 4 or 5.

    Probably last post on this one, seeings how everything looks good. I just wanted to share the dizzy re-purpose oil pump driver.. Took the original dizzy, havked off the top, pressed out the bushing from the top and pressed it into the shaft housing. Slipped on a spring hose clamp to keep the...

    Sun Timing Light on life support.

    Yea, I ran across that posting too. But if I'm correct, once the bulb stops strobing, it does not strobe at all, ever. I could be wrong in that.

    Sun Timing Light on life support.

    No aftermarket ignition. Stock replacement HEI dizzy. My other light, Actron works just fine. So funny thing... I can hook up the Sun, and get it to flash the strobe 1 to 4 flashes, then it stops. I'll let off the trigger for a few seconds and then pull the trigger and it will flash 1 to 4...

    What at these metal components on gauge cluster?

    I painted that blue area with silver and then found green bulbs (not LED). I also cut a sheet of red gel film for the turn indicators. Green dash lights and red turn indicators...so kewl..

    Sun Timing Light on life support.

    Update: Went for about a half hour drive to a rootbeer stand, had dinner and made a couple stops on the way back home. Popped the hood and took a flashlight to all the nooks and crannies. Other than a possible spot on the pass rocker cover,,,I am thrilled to report, No runs, No drips, No...

    I agree...reman'd stuff is questionable at best. Oreiley wanted 270 for a reman'd p/s pump. I got a new Tuff Stuff Borgenson for under 200. The fuel pump is a new Holley. The starter is new, not reman'd. Nothing I bolted on is reman'd. I have been collecting parts for 2 years. I would go to...

    Really..? I wondered about the longevity of the new parts. Space might be a tad sparce...(sparce space...ha, ha)...anywho, keeping the old parts is an option. Honestly, I would rather buy a new starter, than try to horse the original back in... So, the new p/s hi-press hose is in. I had to...

    Got the hi press line after a hard trek in the woods with friends. (I needed a break) Got home and just wasn't motivated to git'er'dun. It's just so hot/humid. The plan is to git-2it in the early morning coolness. Lord willing, it shant take long. Funny, I've lost 5lbs last week...I guess...

    She is back on the road. I will have the replace the hi side p/s hose. I did the low side & hoped the hi side would be ok....it is not ok. Other than that...it sounds amazing. Runs so nice. Funny. Just by eye, I set it to 2° before putting on the timing light. My buddy came over and helped...

    To do list for tomorrow. Install headers. Install spark plugs. S/P wires. Fill coolant. Install battery. Double check everything. Light it up. Set timing. Double check everything. Bolt hood on. Enjoy. Sorry, I didn't take any photos.

    As of now. All mount bolts in. P/S plumbed in. Fuel is next then carb. Then radiator. Then I look around for spare bolts...lol

    BTW... After sleeping on it, the second shift mechanics did not like the idea of using a ground-down tapered bolt to help with lining up motor to bell housing. And here's their reasoning... If the bolts were in the motor and something shifted or moved with a lot of enertia behind it, a threaded...

    Had a couple things I had to do so I couldn't do much. Obviously motor is in and bolted to bell housing and T/C. I was able to set the mounts right on the frame, about an inch from home and just slide it back by hand. The passenger side dowel pin lined right up and I got a bolt to start in. The...
