    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finished the other drum. Replaced parts and painted. Bearing were good so just did inside seal like the other side. Draining diff today, then proportioning valve and hopefully bleed brakes so girl can drive.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I have a decent 3 ton jack from an estate auction. It lifted my Dad but not a truck. I have a new seal kit on the bench, haven't gotten to it. Borrowed the neighbors lol.

    Wiring Two subs together?

    I'd follow the read from @CountKrunk. We know you have two DVC subs, but what ohms? Seems like you're gonna want amp bridged mono and run subs in parallel if at 2ohms each. Don't just pick a diagram...

    Gas tank installation help please

    I used a transmission jack, you could do like ricko1966 said though. I left my hoses long enough from the tank on the ground and coiled when it went up.

    Wiring Two subs together?

    https://images.app.goo.gl/8k4kKezmtkGPgbqT7 This is a visual. For me...less is more. If you want something musical, like a 4 Ohm set up. 1 ohm you are just gonna get you and your car rattled, especially the car 3 places from you. So all about what you're trying to accomplish.

    1987 454 TBI stalls at idle after a short time

    Sweet burb. Horse trailering is one big reason my daughter wanted her 87 pickup.

    Other funny part was that I had measured and moved truck over twice. I clearly measured from the wrong spot with tire on.

    I looked at our truck and am not sure what the hole's look like, but you can get various sizes of aluminum plug buttons at the hardware store. Put some pooky around it if you need to keep water out. But for you, welding may be better choice.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Probably keep more of the mud off you, and assume you can still roll up a window even. Keep ya from getting your hair messy. Looks good!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I thought this was humorous. I didn't panic (mostly). For those who have a garage or shop NOT full of stuff. Pics are in order of, 1) final result 2) Issue, you see it? 3) plan 4) Yay! Had to giggle internet to figure out how to remove drawer. Two screws, sh!t in the way...drill with 90°...

    Newbie here!

    Cool truck, and maybe a burb behind it? Good group to learn from. Welcome.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Well nothing cool. I spent 3 hours going to two different napa's and two trips to autozone yesterday to get everything I need to finish assembling a wheel today. Scored spindle nut socket for $11 on closeout table though.

    14 bolt FF missing parts?!

    Is this right? Am I missing a spindle flat washer, 2nd spindle nut; lock washer? Would seem dangerous! Going through y'alls threads on assembly. Pics show how it was, one spindle nut, key, and clip...feedback?!

    1968 327 in a 75 stepside

    I also love those huge deck rear bumpers. Make a great seat when you just need to sit a spell.

    Great read. Could OP need to double check push rod length? If cam timing is off, would more than one piston show valve kiss or rods bent?

    ****CAUTION, PLEASE READ****

    It's also worth noting, that anything you post is searchable via the net. I've done searches for topics and specific things to see it bring me here as an option, and including my own posts. Not certain if relevant.

    Engine start-up, Lean code 44

    Did final break-in. Truck ran great. Will drain and fix some leaks (see Betty Blue build page). Aluminum coolant fittings and oil coolant hose. Arugh Idled in park at 740ish. Forgot to ck in gear. We'll mess with cking base timing and exhaust lean code after a little leak fixing.
