    So the alternator is hot to touch with vehicle off, disconnected it this morning and will confirm if that stopped the voltage drop this afternoon. I am assuming that is the problem, I have a wire running from back of alternator to the starter lug and the plug is plugged in back of alternator...

    What I did was remove the IAC and manually close it, put it back in and started up fine, was not throwing any codes. This iac was new but Chinese brand I think, I bought a standard motor products one I couldn't find a Delco replacement

    Hey all, 1987 Chevy v10 will pop off but won't stay running so it's basically not starting. Issue is intermittent, timing is good because it ran fine on this timing last week, I replaced ICM and ignition coil. I am getting spark and a good fuel spray through the injectors. This is the TBI...

    Rebuilt TBI 350 coolant in oil

    Hello all, recently purchased a remanufactured TBI 350 for my 87 Chevy 1/2 4x4. After initial break in, I noticed coolant in oil on dipstick and some white smoke out of tailpipe, decided to drain oil and saw coolant definitely in the break in oil. So I resealed the intake manifold and torqued...

    1987 sbc long block valve cover oil cap

    Got a 1987 Chevy v10, got some center bolt valve covers from a junkyard but don't know exactly what they came off of. The 1/4 turn oil cap does not work and there are no threads for a different one. Does it take a tube? I currently have a crappy press fit one in there and even that one...

    1987 SBC 350 TBI long block build question

    Alright that's what I was thinking, I may bore out those holes slightly and clean the oil pan just for reassurance but it does contact block without studs interference without gasket, just close. I do not want to remove them if I can avoid it since it was just built. Once I can get to rotating...

    1987 SBC 350 TBI long block build question

    So those two holes in the oil pan as pictured do clear those studs slightly, is that what they are for ? I am curious, I don't like how close they are but then again the main caps are in a fixed position so it may not cause an issue. I am just trying to think about all possibilities since new motor
