Oil Pressure Drops After High RPM
Just for comparison, my oil pressure is at 60 PSI immediately after starting cold. On the highway after the engine is at normal operating temp it settles in the mid 50 PSI. When I stop at a stoplight when hot oil pressure drops to around 30 PSI. This is a Mk IV 454 running Amsoil Z-Rod 10W-30...- WFarm

What have you done to your square lately??
If you don’t have a local supplier for fasteners you can assemble with the old ones, then order the SS equivalents and replace them later, one at a time. -

It may be just me, but I like the fasteners to stand out. Unless it’s a special fastener I’ll stop by Valley Fastener and get stainless replacements. Not factory correct, but love the look! -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
So what I learned today…. Both Dashes Direct and Just Dashes dye their dashes to the required color. None use vinyl made in the correct color. Not sure why as dying the product takes time and money, but can assume our colors are not readily available. Cheyenne Trucks is making dashes for the... -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
The problem with USA1 is they take your money immediately but then cannot supply the item. They’ll say 16 weeks and 18 months later you’re still waiting. You question them and they’ll say it will ship in one week or one month, but of course it doesn’t. For some items such as paint you may get... -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
Yes, the seats and center console are stock for the K5. This setup must have been one of the earlier factory interiors to include cup holders. Surprisingly most of the center console is cast metal, with fiberglass at the very bottom where it bolts to the floor. -

LMC Dash Pad Supplier
Just Dashes process sounds like they re-cover your dash using vinyl manufactured in the chosen color and not simply dyed/painted. Am I correct? Plan to ask them on Monday but I figure someone here knows. -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
I requested a quote from Just Dashes to recover my existing dash. Haven’t got a price yet but figured it was worth exploring. That way I would retain my factory frame so fit should not be a question. My dash was apparently recovered by an upholstery shop and has several seams and other issues... -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
Unfortunately I am building a show truck. Finding a show quality dash pad seems akin to finding a Unicorn though. :emotions122: -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
I checked with Jegs but they couldn’t ship until mid-December, which is also when Dashes Direct told me they would have my dash available again. I think I’ll wait to hear from DD and order it then. Hopefully the fit will be OK. -
LMC Dash Pad Supplier
Shopping for a dash pad for my Blazer and was looking at LMC. Read here that their pads were supplied by Dashes Direct, but when I asked LMC they said that was not true. They also didn’t volunteer who their supplier was. I figured maybe someone here would know. Dashes Direct is out of my dash... -
Let’s see your memorabilia?!
That can was so ridiculous/hilarious I just had to add it. -
Let’s see your memorabilia?!
Some of the items in my shop. The quart size oil cans are all full, all but a few are metal cans. The 1955 Roadmaster bike was made by the Cleveland Welding Co. in, no surprise, 1955! I ride it regularly, especially at the beach on vacation. The wife’s father was really into the Whizzer... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Here is everything that I’m getting rid of. I have no idea what any of it’s worth. The tall JL Audio speaker measures 19” tall x 11” wide x 5” deep. The two smaller boxes are 8.5” tall x 12” wide x 7” deep at bottom, reducing to 5” at top. These all are surprisingly heavy and seem very well... -

Actually all of it is. Kick panel speakers, Kenwood amp and the three box speakers. I’ll post pics of it all tomorrow. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Finished removing the last of the aftermarket stereo equipment and restored the kick panels to something at least closer to stock. When I got the Blazer it had what I’m sure is a nice high-end stereo system installed. There were 3 big, heavy speaker boxes in the back, speakers in the kick... -
big block starter replacement
I installed a starter on my 454 (early 70s LS5) with a Delco Delphi one for a 99 Suburban from Oreilly. Also used the slightly shorter mounting bolts. Starter P/N R613326B. Dorman P/N for bolts was 678-107. Everything bolted right up and works beautifully. Starter is a small permanent magnet...- WFarm

What have you done to your square lately??
So it’s November 11 in central VA and I’m going once again driving around in the topless blazer wearing nothing but jeans and a t-shirt. The new ColdCase radiator and fan unit works great. I gave the old radiator (a Summit aluminum unit installed by PO in June 24) a good look and saw why it... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Finished installing the new radiator and fans and tested everything to make sure I had no leaks and the fans cycled on and off at the right temps. All was good so went for a beautiful fall drive. Seems nuts to be driving around in a topless Blazer on Nov 7 wearing a jeans and t-shirt! (Temps... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Installing a Cold Case radiator with twin 14” fans in the Blazer. Did the same upgrade on my 57 Chevy with a 383 Stroker years back and it worked wonderfully. One day I was out cruising in the 57 and got stuck in a traffic backup due to an accident. It was upper 90s but engine temps never... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Had a perfect fall drive in the Blazer today, after which I pulled it back into the shop and set the fan in front of it with the shop doors cracked open. Wife saw this and asked why I was cooling off Billy (her name for the Blazer) like he was a hot horse! Told her that I was trying to blow... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Re-dyed the Blazers spare tire cover pretty close to the original Sand color. Wife is making a BLAZER decal for it that should look nice. Looking for an original bracket to mount spare vertically behind rear bench seat. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Thanks Andy. I went down the “Factory Correct” rabbit hole a ways back with my 69 Boss 302. Expensive trip! My goal with the Blazer is do it my way but still look factory, at least to the majority of folks. Must be close as many folks look at it at shows and comment “I didn’t know they made a...
