    Bouncing speedometer

    i’ve been fighting this for a few weeks now and would like to follow up on you’re insight on cable resistance comments above. I’ve got a new speedometer and I’ve rebuilt the cruise control box (and opened it back up and double checked it to make sure there’s no unnecessary play or binding in...

    soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?

    cool, thanks. Yeah, that’s basically what I did this morning before work. I put some thick paste in there, and I tried it with the new push rod and the original push rod from the old booster (neither are adjustable). there’s a 3/8 difference between the two. The old one is longer. with the old...

    soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?

    yeah, I had read that somewhere before. I didn’t compare to the old ones bore size since I knew the one I was purchasing was the larger size, 1 1/8. I measured it at oreilly before I purchased it to make sure because some of them were definitely smaller. And also to make sure that the pushrod...

    soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?

    as far as I know, it’s always been JB5 brakes. At least the power booster I took off was. Assuming that was a Big Ten thing. Booster and master cylinder are both brand new. that’s why I was assuming that pushrod length must be off a little bit and that’s where the difference is...

    soft pedal after master cylinder and booster replacement diagnosis?

    I just replaced the master cylinder and the brake booster on my 79C 10. Afterwards I have a soft pedal or you might say it has a long travel before it engages near the bottom. Grab‘s fine at that point but definitely not like it was before. Yes, I bench bled the new master cylinder and there...

    Wanted Cruise Control Rod/Link

    could you just use a static bolt to the carburetor throttle arm or does it need to slide when the cruise is not in operation?

    Wanted Cruise Control Rod/Link

    wondering if you could explain a little further? I’ve never actually seen mine working but I’ve been going over all the parts that I currently have. I took the transducer apart and cleaned it up and the solenoid works. All the other electrical seems fine and the servo seems fine. So, I was gonna...

    starter measurements

    want to be sure I get a correct starter. I’ve got a 1997 block with a new 168 tooth flex plate. Apparently my 1969 starter that came with my truck is not happy with that. Seems like the throw on the Bendix and the length of the nose cone is just a bit too short. I need another 16th to 1/8 of...

    What's this dohicky

    i’ve got a leak between the master cylinder and the booster. It’s running down the bottom of the booster. Is that most likely just an O-ring or seal on one of the Pistons? no idea how old that master cylinder is based on its condition when I bought the truck I doubt it’s more than a couple of...

    aftermarket tachometer question

    just in case anybody’s wondering, there is a difference between the LMC tachometer and the one from OER/classic industries. I got the one from OER today and there is a tab on the face plate under the needle and a little adjustable Stop to set the needle (fine tune) where you want it when the...

    aftermarket tachometer question

    well, LMC told me that their expectation is that it is supposed to rest at zero when the power is off. So they’re sending me a new one.

    aftermarket tachometer question

    just installed an LMC tachometer on my 79. Everything works great just wondering if it’s normal for the needle on these newer digital models to drop down to 6 o’clock when you turn the engine off? It doesn’t seem to have any other “stop“ that I can see. other than that, it works great and...

    th350 Governor seal

    I had to replace the governor gear recently and now I’m getting a leak from the governor cover. It appears to be fully seated. I used silicone to seal it per a recommendation. For those of you with more experience is the o-ring a better sealing choice or not? I was told the O-ring is hard...

    TH350 Stuck

    the pawl was engaging when i cycled the rod. little spring on pawl was intact and everything on the shift shaft seemed to be tight and as it should be. there was one bolt in the valve body loose and sticking up. that’s all i noticed. we had just changed fluid and pan gasket and now it...

    TH350 Stuck

    dropped the pan today and it was just filled with fine shiny sludge. And I had just put in a new trans filter and fresh ATF. The ATF is now clear to Brown. Need to figure out what caused it before I replace it or does anyone think there’s even a chance of running it again at this point? I...

    TH350 Stuck

    One thing I’m wondering, is if the S clip that connects the rooster comb to the valve came loose, or if for any other reason that shift shaft is having a problem and that valve is down in a gear location, even with the truck not running, would that actually keep it in gear?

    thanks. I’ll check that first thing on Saturday.

    TH350 Stuck

    I know it’s connected on the lower end at the frame. I just assumed it was connected well on the column because it is moving the linkage on the transmission. i’m still learning about transmission stuff so I’m just not really sure what could cause something to get locked in place. Likely...

    TH350 Stuck

    need some ideas on what to check. Last Saturday did the first start on a new engine. Afterwards went to drop it in neutral and push it back out of the shop (engine not running.) and the transmission was stuck in park or in gear. Had not shifted anything since we rolled it into the shop in...
