    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    Old school head units used to work that way, but modern ones don't. They have made ways to make it harder to bypass. For example, some require you to apply / release / apply / release and then apply and leave on the parking brake to play a DVD, and if you release the brake - the DVD stops. Its...

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    Ya, I would go with a single DINN system with a slide out screen. Something that has DVD, bluetooth, and navigation. Then you can get a parking brake bypass kit, so that the DVDs will play while the vehicles in motion. Without the bypass, you have to engage the parking brake to play a DVD. Now...

    SBC 400 intermittent lifter tick.

    I was running 10W40 but after noticing the tick after prolonged high RPM, I switched to 20W50. Problem remains. Should I try 5W30? Try an engine flush? Add a quart of trans fluid to the engine for a few hundred miles and then change the oil? Pull the valve cover and check the rockers with a...

    Power loss with aggressive acceleration

    You can get a brand new carb for under $100 with free next day shipping. Then you could bolt it on and see if that solves the problem. If the problem is fixed, keep the carb. If the problem remains, return the carb free of charge. They can be found on Amazon.

    SBC 400 intermittent lifter tick.

    Keep it under 3.5K RPM and it never ticks. Rev it up to 5K RPM intermittently and it never ticks. Hold the RPM above 3.5K for 5-10 minute and it taps badly. Once it starts tapping badly, if you let it idle or drive with low RPM for 5-10 minutes, the tap slowly goes away and then disappears...

    How does this sort of thing happen????

    I completely agree, the mini high torque gear reduction starters are awesome. That's what I run.

    You have to figure out what to do with it ??

    What is this part?

    Next step would be to take some good pictures of it with a neutral background. Then upload those images into "Google image search" and let AI find the answer. It works very well. Its easier than you might think.

    Any part numbers stamped on it anywhere?

    What is this part?

    Do you have the phone number of the person or business that you bought the rig from? Perhaps they could provide some insight.

    What is this part?

    Hmm. A strange curved metal pate of some sort.. Did you find it under the drivers seat, or inside the fuel tank?

    Starter Solenoid Sticking

    Hmm. Good info and pics. Regardless, I would just order a new stater from Amazon.

    How does this sort of thing happen????

    I would start by going to a different repair shop. You would be surprised what goes on at those places. I have worked at repair shops, and the owners / managers are replaced if they don't bring in enough profits. Employees are just as easily replaced. The number 1 priority is to make money -...

    Intake Manifold RTV Dry Times

    I have reused the intake gaskets many times, and they hold up just fine. If they are old, then it would be worth replacing them. The gaskets are cheap to buy on Amazon, but they are also easy to replace. So re-use, replace, take your pick.

    Maybe you just need to add a quart of oil?

    Power loss with aggressive acceleration

    Might be using up the fuel in the carb faster than it can be replenished. A way to test, would be to to fill the car through the vent and then pin it to win it. If that solves the problems at first, but the problem returns, then I would clean the carb and replace the fuel filters. Also, try...

    TH350 intermittent leak

    Many auto parts stores do, but the most convenient seller is Amazon. Maybe $18 per bottle. During the pandemic, the production of this product stopped due to supply chain issues. I saw listings for $200 a bottle, and they were getting it. Its good stuff.

    That is absolutely ridiculous, to say the least.
