    HELP,,,,Please

    Most of the time the regulator assembly must come out of the door because the OEM motor is riveted to the regulator. It can be done without removing the vent window and glass but is a pain to do it that way. When I do the repair I remove the vent window and glass. Did a search on Youtube for...

    th350 problem please help

    You sure it's a turbo 350? Turbo 350 has the kick down cable to the carb. A turbo 400 uses a switch at the gas pedal to control kick down. Here is a chart to confirm which trans you have.

    need help aftermarket wiring harness

    This is the one for an 86. It's not cheep at around 700 bucks. It is as close to factory as you're going to get. You will need to reuse your factory wiper and power window/lock harness. http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcat/10205

    Temp Gauge barely moves

    190-210 is the standard operating range for a small block. Most of the time it's the sender but before throwing parts at the problem I would get a infra-red thermometer and see what the temp is right by the sender and a few other places on the block and radiator.

    How hard is it to change an oil pan gasket?

    You will need to lift the engine and completely remove the pan. Like mentioned above use wood blocks to support the engine. You really need an engine hoist to lift the engine correctly and safely. Ive seen people jack the engine up via the pan but I would not suggest it. If you have a large tree...

    Bleeding brakes nothing will work

    Check the rubber brake hose going to that caliper. They are known to rot from the inside and restrict fluid flow. Change both sides and the rear one if you find it's bad. You can check by removing the capture nut that holds the rubber line to the frame and gently pull the metal line thru the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Those look just like the ones I have under the dash. I got mine from the salvage yard. One is mounted about 3 inches left of the steering column and the other is between the glove box opening and the kick panel. This is the interior fade module I added...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just two stock bulbs and sockets mounted as close as possible towards the doors. I did add a American Autowire light fader to the system but I don't think that has anything to do with the brightness: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got a little work done on my interior. Got the new Idit steering column, seat belts and seat fitted. Got to build new mounting brackets for the female end of the seat belts. With this seat they need to be moved about two inches to the center of the cab to work correctly. Idit column was a...

    You are correct. Hopefully the trans is not all ready toast.

    Help! vacuum hoses

    If I'm reading this correctly and by looking at the pictures he does not need the TCI adaptor because he has a Quadrajet and not an Edelbrock carb.

    My 1991 v1500 suburban

    Best way to remove tint is with a hair dryer. Heat the tint while peeling it off. Use WD40 to remove the remaining glue. Use glass cleaner with ammonia to remove the WD40.

    dash pad

    Yes the same pad, also check the dealer locator. Shipping should be less if you could find a vendor close to you.

    dash pad

    I have never had a problem with ordering from them. My dash pad has a metal backing plate unlike the other ones I have seen with plastic and the crappy urethane backing. Metal is not as thick as OEM but is thick enough to help hold it's shape. You can order it direct from the manufacture but...

    dash pad

    This is about as close as you are going to get to OEM at a fair price. You could send it off and have it refurbished at around 1200.00 plus shipping. I got one of these for my 74. It fits OK with a little modification...
