    Elec. window/ lock harness question

    If your planning on keeping it exactly like factory it may be a a real PITA, but on the other hand there is on most of our trucks, plenty of outputs open on fuse box for options, you'd need about a 20 Amp circuit breaker, in place of the fuse , and it could be nicely wired into fuse panel with...

    Smog Pump and Egr valve delete

    I don't have anything from Catalytic converter to the smog pump, no get either, I have A 74 intake though, it doesn't have the spot for it, it runs real nice, it's just that if your into quadrants, they are very much a PITA to get just right, I mean literally, It took me a couple years to get it...

    Brake booster short circuit

    The reason I was thinking engine ground is because if you don't have a good ground there, it could feed through brake lines in that particular vicinity through frame and other components and it would make a ground through the master cylinder and brake booster into the firewall

    Brake booster short circuit

    Ml That's true, it could do the same, but the load of the starter to ground would be many times more than that of any ignition or accessory more than likely, it wouldn't get that hot if it did at all, it is real strange that it's in a specific area of the booster and the fact that out of all...

    Front Tire movement

    That is dead on exactly how my truck still feels after everything was done, VB I did have a real funny issue with a ball joint that seized right after it was replaced, and it wasn't even 100miles later it felt funny, apparently even though I had greased it it didn't get into the upper area very...

    Brake booster short circuit

    Sounds like a ground to me for sure, they can do some wild stuff, have someone hold a multimeter to ground terminal on battery and other to a bracket or intake on motor, and crank for a second or two, if the voltage is real high like 2-3 volts that's way too much loss for a cable, you are...

    How I hate electrical issues...

    I do believe that it is connected to and from headlight switch with with almost two entirely different circuits (with exception of main source), the headlights are directly wired to high beam switch from headlight switch, and from there going in reverse, there's only a fusible link to that...

    Front Tire movement

    Ah, been there done that, oh wait I'm still kinda wondering, I've had that issue with mine almost from the start and I've owned it for well over 9 years at this point, not sure exactly where your getting the movement but I have installed a new steering box, new ball joints, new bearings...

    350 burning oil but runs like new.

    I have a 350 I recently got from a yard from a C1500 Chevy truck for my blazer (Tahoe), it runs good and with new vacuum lines, sensors, and exhausts parts etc. It gets quite a bit over 15 MPG ( 15 MPG ballpark avg.) It runs smooth and runs strong, it has power, just smoke after running about 5...

    oil presure sending unit

    Nice, Im guessin its also got a spring in there somewhere to vary the resistor when oil pressure goes up, looks like it has a separate resevoir for the oil pressure where the threads are, then the top is just a can that protects the resistor thats moved by a rod and then into the terminal, I...

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    Just thought of something, As I said in my last comment, ive seen them links burn, maybe it was burning into one of the wiper motor wires, they are in very close approximity to the links by the brake booster, and theres not many other ways for them to get power with the ignition off, Id say its...

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    If it dont crank, one main thing to always check, seen it happen many times, I started a friends 82 chevy truck up one dau to pull it in the garage to be worked on, and about 5 seconds later I saw smoke comin from the hood, It was just a little bit, but the alternator regulator went bad and it...

    the always repeated fuel sending unit question

    Best thing to do, take a measurment from the sending unit to the input pin on the gauge, this it should theoreticaly be 0 ohms, no more than maybe 1-2ohms, if that reading is good, it knocks out all the possibility of a bad wire or plug, unless it has a continuity issue where when its moving it...

    just like jim said there is alot of them that have 3 tubes, the 3/8in. Line is main fuel, and return line, then the third line is for the vapor canister as a vent tube.

    Q-Jet question M4ME

    I'll keep that mind, another question arose when I thought about adjustment, mine has what looks like rectangular shaped adjustement screws, I didnt adjust it last time, but Im thinkin maybe it needed one of those adjustement tools you can buy at about any auto store, do I need that? Ive messed...

    oil presure sending unit

    Im very fimiliar with them, The switch you need cost about $32 give or take a few bucks at oreilys, Some did have two factory in a brass coupling, the one you bought is probably the 7or 8 dollar switch, they have a few but theirs only one big one, its got that one terminal, the other switch is...

    Q-Jet question M4ME

    Thanks for The reply, and if theres a way to get 17-19, thats amazing, id be happy with 12-17, even 14 sounds more appropriate than 9mpg, its a short bed 4x4, the engines got a little over 12,000 miles on it, it was also rebuilt, if it matters it has a mild cam, I know it could a little on the...

    Did you get the switch or the sending unit(sensor)? They made a few different ones, some trucks have two, a two terminal oil switch and a sending unit.

    Q-Jet question M4ME

    I have a q-jet that was bought completly rebuilt damn near new, its a good carb other than the MPG factor, I know some q-jets if not adjusted rite burn tons of gas, but The one ive got can choke you out on idle at times, and sometimes it gets between 8-9 mpg if you drive without your foot too...

    Converting a TH350 to non lock up

    The cases are different, the valve body would have to be considering the fluids gotta be controled to the torque converter somehow, and of coarse the torque converter itself is different, the cas just has the plug like the 700R4 does, the same actually, and id say its probably got a few...

    TH-350C question

    Is a th-350c a good transmission? I know a th350 is, but the th-350c has a lockup converter, and for mpg an overdrive would help more, but is it a good tranny in general?

    85 Scottsdale dist. vacuum switch

    Yea, I was thinkin about a forum ive read that should work, because of the way its wired, the guy said that he took the green and white wires from the pigtail and crossed them to make it a straight foward hei, im not 100% sure it would work on all of them, but I might check into that, espescialy...
