    Valve stem seals info needed and is it worth while in my case?

    My buddy and I did valve stem seals on the 91 Sub we had ( me 1st, then it was his). Used my air compressor, a spark plug chuck I guess he got/had, and rented a tool from Vato Zone. The 91 was easy to get the valve covers off for the most part and we did all 16. Kind of a time consuming job...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I know I need one, and want one ( motor ) , but I am being a cheap azz and just buying plugs and oil. The power level is just pathetic. However, it runs decent, does not overheat, and for what it is gets decent milage. For example, during my 1.5 or so hour rain induced slugfest on the way...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    R45TS, if memory serves - whatever GM called out for a 1980 350 light duty emmissions. I found the ash theory interesting as I had been running diesel oil for a while there. Right now it's Super Tec semi syn 10W40 - and wonder how the rest of the plugs look. But, just decided to play with my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Shades of @SirRobyn0 here. Changed # 8 with a good used plug I had as I thought I was feeling a slight miss at idle. Plug had like a white glaze on the electrode arm that appeared to have reduced the gap by half. Put the feeler gauge to it and off came the glaze. Fired her up, still a bit of a...

    Re-badging my Square

    Yeah, the Bowtie Brigade has us beat on this one. Funny , though, that the majority of my squares have been GMC's . All used vehicles, just happened to be what was available. At least I am not having to find a blower switch for a '75 where Max AC is actuated by having the temp lever all the...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Not loving it cuz it got smashed, but rather because I had a 77 w/ a 318 and 2 79's with quad headlights and a 360. Electrical sucked on 'em, though. :(

    Looks like a case of I really don't want to sell it, but if some sucka will give me 30 - 35K, why not ? :anitoof:

    New fuel gauge not working

    Bad new gauge ? Not plugged in fully ? Wiring harness to the cluster not plugged in all the way ? If you get lucky, one of the latter 2 ... Oh, what happens if you put the old gauge back in now ? Good luck ! Britt

    1994 Z-28 . BLACK . how mush?

    As high as 6 if you believe KBB. I'd go for a 98 up LS1 powered one if it were me, but I am biased.

    Wiper motor always on.

    Assuming 83 still uses the dash switch, the LMC new one worked fine for about a year and then got "sticky" , meaning you could not help shooting past off and it getting hung on the mist side (left most position). No big deal, just had to push it back right. I lived with that for 3 years - put...

    Steering Column Refresh Oddities

    hard to find a good pic, but like this. You can see the horn cam aka "the plastic piece " mentioned above, assembled with the "black plastic piece" & the "metal piece". As well as the little concave metal spring washer & the horn button plate & the 3 screws with their plastic holder.

    Steering Column Refresh Oddities

    The horn contact is part of the plastic piece that goes behind the lockplate. Should be a black plastic piece, a metal piece, and a spring. I cannot remember, but believe the spring is on the bottom of the plastic piece, the metal piece goes inside the black piece, and the black piece twists...

    instrument cluster

    If I follow you correctly, the connector you are referring to is part of the truck wiring harness. If by lights you mean the bulb holders, can you reuse your old ones ? If not, they can be purchased new - there are 2 sizes. 1/2" & 5/8", IIRC. Mine takes the bigger ones.

    Your opinion on seldom driven GMC V20

    I am not a TBI expert but would assume so long as you reuse any sensors you have currently and do not use any extras you may find on the replacement motor it would just be a drop in. Which is why I would also say stick with the TBI - you have it, and it will make the task a bit simpler. Any...

    Brake pedal goes to floor

    The way that I know to test a brake booster is to pump the brakes with the engine off, then while holding the brakes, start it up. The pedal should fall some small distance and then hold there. If it does, the booster is in theory good, and in that example, the MC, too. If your booster was...

    Brake pedal goes to floor

    Bleeding is a good idea, but my instant thought was bad master cylinder.

    TBI 350 bracket below A/C compressor empty?

    Probably for an air pump your rig is not equipped with. I guess whatever will fit there is what you could mount. Also wonder what Psi a factory air pump would supply ...

    Chevy tbi 350 to edelbrock adapter??

    Is the old 2nd (3rd ?) motor bad, or is this just too good a deal to pass up ? I am a cheap SOB and will be paying for my motor work, and just bought that dam TVS switch and got the EFE working correctly so I want some return on my 60 investment. 30 buck switch, 30 buck cool tool. :anitoof:

    Neutral Safety Switch

    That tab fits into a slot on the shift tube - your old one did not break off and the piece is still in there, is it ? I'd that's OK, compare the new to the old. Same dimensions? In other words, is your new one the correct part ? If none of those are it, try installing it with the column in...
