    WTH! CRACKED FRAME AT PS GEARBOX. Whats the fix. Check it out.

    I installed the brace on mine. The frame is not cracked. I recommend doing the brace before connecting the hoses to the box . It is a tight fit under there. I like the tubed crossmembers for the hitch, winch etc.

    The dual snorkel air cleaner asy. is a Spectra brand. It was the first mod the boy made when it was his truck. The chrome is cheaply done. I sprayed it with Krylon ceramic clear. Trying to keep the rust at bay. The housing requires a small plastic spacer to clear the Eddy 1406. They are pricey...

    Reman 350 stumbles and misses

    Do you think the cam was broken in correctly? The dizzy may have moved if the hold down bolt isn't tight. The carb has some trash in it? The fuel pressure is low. It could be any of these. The simple checks in my mind are the following. I would check the timing. I would check the plugs and...

    Meet Betty

    She has been in the family for 14 years. I am the third owner. I bought it from a neighbor. My son abused her through high school. It was originally a 305 with a 700R4. It had a 350 in it when I bought it. That motor blew a head gasket while I was driving it, so I bought a new Chevy 250 HP...

    ORD sway bar disconnect

    I installed these a while back along with new spring bushings, and all new ball joints etc. I added the cover for its look. The stock steel cover is actually thicker and would resist rock damage better.

    Here are some pics of the steering brace. There's not a lot to see it's tight. I would recommend installing the bracket before connecting the hoses to the gear box.

    I got around to installing one of these this past weekend. Everything went smooth except for the removal of the outer stock bushing steel. it had grown as one with the spring eye. I used Energy Suspension bushings for the top eye. The hole in the bracket and the steel sleeve for the bushing had...

    Charcoal canister delete?

    I installed a can on my truck. I bought it from Rock auto. I went with a simple 3 port type. They don't stock all the years. I had to make a bracket out of a hose clamp.

    Say no to Cracks

    I installed the ORD bolt in steering box and frame brace this past weekend. The install is pretty straight forward. The install does require drilling a hole in the cross member and grinding the holes out on the existing factory bracket. The ORD part is heavy gauge plate that is nicely welded...

    Vinyl Floor Recommendations?

    I put down POR15 on the bare floor. I then covered the paint with some Jegs brand dyno mat type stuff. Then added a jute insulation. It's working nice. I need to do the fire wall the same way. A project for another time.

    Haynes manual suggest silicone dielectric grease for ignition module?

    As a side note I always put a dab of the silicon grease on my spark plug wires. It keeps them from sticking to the plugs and or cap terminals.

    Windshield Wiper Harness

    Good morning everyone. Has anybody found a vender that sells a replacement connecter for the windshield wiper motor assy. I have been having issues with my wipers for a long time. I have even attached a separate ground from the wiper motor to a bolt on the fire wall. It's hit or miss if they...

    HF plastic welding kit

    I have used JB plastic weld 2 part epoxy in the past. It worked good on my door panels. I also have tried on the splash panel. It holding together on the work bench, have't got around to installing it. I think it will crack again because the panel flexs

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    I bought a Jeg's brand Mech. pump. It cost about $50. It failed within a few weeks. I took it apart and it was defective. The pump arm moved off the diaphragm and carnage ensued. I bought an Edelbrock pump it was $120. Ouch! I' ve not had any problems since.

    Exhaust options for a 1990 suburban 4x4?

    I used the Dynomax kit on my truck. I had all the connections welded at the local muffler shop. The pipes exiting the rear are not the same. There is some difference in the bends. The kit I used the pipes are bent to go around the spare tire under the bed. I also had to fab a couple of...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The lowered trucks and 20" wheels are all the rage here in the greater Houston area. Everyone wants a hotrod and not a real working truck. It's become boring. JMHOP.
