Drop a tool when you're in a bind and it will roll to "Dead Center" of the floor under the truck. -

Spent more money and cussed a lot............ -
What is this connector? - SOLVED
I think you are correct, Joe. I have an '83 GMC also, but mine was converted in the past from a 3 wire like yours to a 2 wire compressor. It also has a toggle switch on the dash to cut the compressor on. Always something to fix, right? -

Now that I have aluminum heads, intake and of coarse the transmission, what's the best place to attach a ground wire on the engine? Aluminum isn't the best conductor.- PeteJr

New to me truck/ what should i go through and look at
As well as the above suggestions......... Check wiring and/or connections. Be sure the fuse panel is safe and not a bungled mess. IF you go as far as an extensive "redo" I vote to install a new wiring harness...........- PeteJr

Finally got the engine/transmission set in today. It's a long process, but I'm somewhat anal about some things........... New radiator and fans showed up today too. -

Decent ball joint press
Advance, O'Reilly's maybe others will rent them. I rented one at O'Reilly's. It was $145, returned it and got my money back. Zero cost. I wouldn't buy one if I could rent it. -

As info and my 2 cents: Flat tappet cam, better use the zinc additive. Also, if you need it....... better check to see if you can bolt up a fuel pump. The '87 - '95 GM TBI engine I bought (and sold) wasn't cut for the fuel pump uses electric one.- PeteJr

Blue Print or GM Performance
The Summit site tells how many they have in stock. They had 9 when I ordered, but they were all gone within a week. Mine shipped from the Ohio whse. My buddy ordered a 383 and his came from Texas. I'm sure Summit is high on the list to get BP engines restocked............- PeteJr

Mike, I used the stock Moog coils (#6452 and Western Chassis 2 1/2" dropped spindles. I started using the compressor, but the bolt ran up too far and wouldn't go in the pocket. My buddy and I finnagled (sp) the springs in place enough and jacked up the lower CA. They popped in. Just be sure that... -

Finally got my new front coils, spindles, tie rod ends installed on the rebuilt control arms. Cleaned up the inside of the front cap and did a little rust clean up and primered those spots. Forgot to take a pic............ Next are the rotors and new calipers, hoses, seals etc. -
C10 Nationals, Dallas/Ft Worth
Been to the Fort Worth & Nashville ones. I liked the Texas show better than the Nashville one (even though it's 300 miles closer) Buc-Ees, What-A-Burger, Chic-Fil-A, In-N-Out Burger right across the road from the speedway. What a deal.
