    81 K10 fuse panel layout

    Crank no starts aren't caused by fuse box,neutral safety switch,and very very rarely by ignition switch. When you say crank no start, you do mean the starter motor cranks the engine over ,whir,whir,whir,whir but the engine doesn't start correct.

    Should i or shouldnt i?!!

    A hawk that tries to chase two rabbits at the same time often fails to catch either and goes hungry. A man that sleeps with an itchy butt wakes up with stinky fingers.

    1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

    True,but I think they have to decide that before it goes in the yard. I know at Pik n Pull in Kansas City I tried to buy a whole car out of the yard,I talked to the boss,he said if I had caught it before it came into the yard he could have done it,but the titles already turned in and he can't...

    Lost Two Gen 3 LS Engines in my 1986 C10 2WD

    You told us on post 23 it's not a DOD engine. This novel is 5 pages deep,and I'm not going to read every word,or even every post. Even if I did, I do not know everything about every engine chevy ever made by year and displacement. I assumed it was not DOD because you said it wasn't.

    Flywheel

    65 ft lbs,use a star shaped torque sequence,sneak up on final torque in 3 steps. Actually I'd just run them snug with a 3/8 ratchet then go around and get them tight with a 3/8th ratchet,then torque them.

    1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

    It's probably a by state thing,Kansas they have to turn over titles to the state within 30 days and can't they be sold or registered again. Kansas is kinda jacked up with some of their Title stuff,I have one truck that can never be registered again,because I said it was junk,so I could transfer...

    Do I restore my AC or?

    A body is a confusing mess they had A's prior to 64 but general concensus is A's started with the 64 midsize GM(Chevelle, F85,Etc.) Through 77 then in 78 they down sized, depending on who you believe the remained A's until 82, then G's from 82-87. I call 78 up G's.

    Should i or shouldnt i?!!

    I believe that car came new with a 425. It would suck to put a 350 in it and get whooped by a grandma in a brougham.

    Dual Battery

    No bother ground,anything that's to the battery negative to the car body, or something metal on the engine you can just clamp it in 1 big mess to something metal with a pair of vice grips,to preform the tests on my previous post.

    Nasty gas tank

    @87-SIERRAbuild what you need to do is go to the top left,hit the three horizontal dashes,hit post new thread, post in tech . That way everyone's attention is on your problem. As for a TBI vehicle, you want a baffled tank unless you never go under 1/2 tank. That is never go under 1/2 tank,not...

    Nasty gas tank

    Well the way I read post 1, is you want to try your save your tank and not drop it. In which case I'd do just like I said in post 18. Which is what I would try first anyway. If post 18 fails then I'd pull my tank and evaluate. What I had. If you remember to unbolt the sending unit ground,and...

    Nasty gas tank

    As stated before change the fuel filter and get an extra,keep it and the tools to change it in the glove box. I am assuming its still TBI. Dammit I got confused by the 87 that jumped in in the middle. Get at least 2 fuel filters clear plastic is fine for what you are going to do. Install one...

    1990 TBI misfire/popping exhaust

    Wait until after dark spray the cap and wires all the way to the head,with salt water out of a spray bottle. Look for lightning.

    Towing with an old truck

    If you are getting 15 mpg,using that to tow 3000lbs may be a struggle if there are any hills. If you are getting 15 you must have 3.08 3.07 or less rear gear. All I use my truck for is pulling trailers or minimum a bed full of what ever. But I've got 3. 73 gears. I have pulled a 24 foot travel...

    How hard to go backwards?

    Dammit man! Did you post up that you needed to change a flexplate? If so I didn't see it. Not a hard job,don't even have to really pull the transmission. Replace 2 of the bellhousing bolts with starter bolts,you can slide the transmission back on them far enough to change the flex plate. Yes it...
