    Ignition control module dwell programming

    May not help, but I do know there were 2 different coils used in the HEI. The parts list would have a foot note asking what color the coil wires are. Common are the red and yellow. The other coil had the red or yellow replaced with a different color (orange?). Also the module should come with...

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    Some more useless CB info. "Back in the day" when more CBs became more in use, the FCC did require you to have a CB licence. You were also asked to state your call letters when you started transmitting, and sign off when you were done. Not many people did. Also 1/4 wave is 106.47". So the ball...

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    The RPM drops from 4000 or 4500 to about 3000 RPM. No, never a no-lift. I abused it enough as it was. "You gotta run what you brung"

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    Okay, for clarity lets call low gear first, then 2,3,4. Here is how: Start in first, mash the throttle, dump the clutch and the truck jumps. (scares anyone next to you!) Release the clutch, off throttle, straight pull to 2nd gear. Engine RPMs are just dropped enough it goes right in 2nd. Mash...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    Firestone got a bad rap with their 721's because Ford marked the tire pressure lower to smooth the ride. Safety note most people don't know, you get a blowout at speed, you need to mash the throttle! The vehicle wants to turn to the flat tire side because of the extra drag. Overcome this with...

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    If you don't want to drill holes in the fender, another choice is a bumper mount. This mounted near the end of the bumper will line up and use the side of the Suburban as a ground plain CLICK HERE Link fixed

    Under Dash Wiring Mystery

    :happy175: This is for the dash lights, only powered if the park or headlights are on. The headlight switch has two power feed connections and one ground. Sometimes the connection to the headlight switch heats and causes problems. One feed is fused for the dash and park lights. The headlights...

    Any info appreciated

    The link posted has most of the GM special editions. This truck called out was done by an up-fitter. I could not find anything on the Stallion up-fit. "Chevy’s Rollin’ Rebel was also commissioned by a third-party manufacturer. Choo Choo Customs out of Chattanooga, Tennessee collaborated closely...

    Best way to transport 19 55 gallon barrels?

    Rust never sleeps. Taylor I'm glad you didn't leave that rusty trailer hitch on the road somewhere. Do I see a GMT800? What power plant?

    A Technical Comedy [Only After the Fact]

    So, every early square comes with it's own door unlocking tool. As long as the hood is not the cable release type (option on early squares) open the hood. Remove the bail wire that holds the brake master cylinder lid on. Snake the bail wire under the vent window rubber, twist it around and pull...

    Random spare wires and things

    The power steering pump reservoir was for a truck with a hydraulic brake booster. Both the brake booster and steering box need a return line. The capped off extra return is fine.

    350 to 454 swap, 73 c30 questions

    Yes they will. The correct engine mounts for the BB are the same except they are stamped out of steel one gauge thicker than the SB. Yes different soft engine mounts, they bolt into different holes in the cross member. The holes are there. Run a tap through the threaded holes to clear the rust...

    1968 327 in a 75 stepside

    Like you, I've been there. I guess that's how we learn. Called, "school of hard knocks" I believe the bent valves happen when the gear fails completely at a higher RPM. Engine spins a bit before it stops, but the cam has already stopped.

    1968 327 in a 75 stepside

    Okay, the valves could have been bent with a cam gear failure. For awhile GM had cam gears with nylon teeth, to keep engine noise down. When the gear failed, and they did, the engine would still be rotating, but the cam not as fast, before it shut down. Since the engine (slang) "is not...

    Tach/fuel combo

    The 0-4K RPM tachs are the rarest of all the tachs that fit a squarebody. Used on 6 cylinder diesel engines with an injector line pulse sensor. Even if you find one, will not read correctly with anything but a 6 cylinder. Some older model GM trucks had cable drive tachs. CLICK HERE Maybe...
