    TH350C Removal Method

    A friend of mine actually made me a cool little set up for the jack. Its a square plate for the pan to rest on with a piece of pipe welded to the center of the plate to sit in the jack. You take the regular cup out of the floor jack and the plate just fits right on there. It was actually a great...

    How To Refurbish Your Dashpad

    So you painted over the bedliner coat? Did you sand it over again also? Did you intend on doing it in that order with the first coat being a bed liner paint or was it that you just really didn't like it.

    Looks good, you got to put some finished pics up when it gets back. So you were brushing all that to? I plan to to the entire bay also. I just am no sure how to attack the few rust holes in the firewall.

    TH350C Removal Method

    I have an 85 gmc pickup and I need to remove the transmission just enough to replace my flexplate. I have a good 3ton floor jack, does anyone have any tips or advice for using a regular floor jack? or should I just wait and get a transmission jack? Im concerned about where to place the jack for...

    Header Ports

    I stabbed my distributor off Im pretty sure so this weekend Im going to try again. But I think Im going to need to replace the flex plate before I start the motor, its worn. I have a good 3 ton jack, is there a good/safe way to use it? or should I just wait for a transmission jack to be safe? I...

    Header Ports

    Ok so I went with the oval gaskets and got it all installed today, BUT! I must have done something wrong. I wanted to simplify my motor, and I had some extra time today so along with the factory manifolds I removed all the extra emissions except the fuel line to the canister from my motor. Now...

    Header Ports

    For the gaskets, should I match the square flanged head? or the oval flanged header for a better seal?

    Header Ports

    Probably a dumb question. I just received my headers from summit in the mail, went to install them and took the old manifolds off. I got them off and realized the original manifolds have square ports. The headers from summit have oval ports. they line up great just different shape flanges. How...

    Some type of solenoid on the firewall??

    The emissions pipes to the exhaust manifold and the vacuum lines all route in some way to this belt drivin pump that that the hands are pointing to. Is that the air/smog pump? if so this it looks as if its running on its own belt separate from the rest of the pullys, can I just remove the belt...

    Some type of solenoid on the firewall??

    HAHA!! Yes sir very confusing. My truck is an 85, it has a HEI distributor so does that mean none of the motor should be computer controlled? There is some sort of computer/module in the dash above the glove box..

    Some type of solenoid on the firewall??

    Ok took a better pic with a hand pointing to the harnest with the yellow and green wires on one end and 2 vacuum hoses out the other. From there, one vacuum goes to what I think is the air pump(yes or no?). The other vacuum line goes to a vacuum connecter with 4 ports that is screwed into the...
