    Fuel pump issue on bbc 454

    The length of the lever is different between the two. If they look the same, you should be good.

    Have a great Snap On dealer finally

    Availability. Where would I go to get Sunnex or SK these days? That's a legit question too, I have several broken sockets. Then once that hurdle is jumped, where will I go 5 years from now?

    Fuel pump issue on bbc 454

    With the pump removed, hold the pushrod up to the cam with a popsicle stick or similar (NOT your finger) while a helper cranks the motor over a few revolutions. If it doesn't move in and out, there's your problem. Also, my buddy replaced his 454 pump last year. The first couple didn't work...

    Have a great Snap On dealer finally

    Sounds like your driver was just a snooty a$$hole. Over the years, I've bought from 5 or so different drivers. It didn't matter where you got the tool or what you were doing when it broke, it got replaced. Even if it was a ratchet that you found in the road with a broken handle. That handle got...

    8 lug hub with 6 lug caliper

    Yeah there were differences in the earlier years, depending on which hub was used. By '77, the spindles and bearings were the same for all, no matter if d44 or 10 bolt, or 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton. Everything swaps in matched groups though. You could use the spindles, hubs and caliper mounts from a...

    Tailpipe search

    Any reputable shop can bend some decent tailpipes, sure. But certainly not duplicate what GM did, to a restoration level.

    Is this what GM called the multiplex stereo or something like that?

    You know you would have to build one of those, right?

    Seat frame Question.....

    I've never inspected the reg cab seats under the covers to know what goes on in the pivot area. I will inspect in the daylight now, lol.

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    It's a 2nd gen F-body auto pedal box, reproduction clutch and brake pedals, a DSE clutch master firewall bracket and a 4th gen F-body clutch master. I cut the eyelet off and threaded the rod for a rod end from the hardware store. I adjusted it so that the clutch master would have no more travel...

    What to run? 3:42 or 3:73?

    2200 at 75 mph is pretty tall. In a truck shaped like a brick, lower rpm at higher speeds often does not equate to better mpg.

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    You can make the clutch master adjustable: But being stock parts used in a stock application, I don't see the point. Sure the engagement height may be different from other trucks, but that doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong. Many vehicles through the years have had different...

    Why can’t I post wheels for sale?

    Long haul. Yeah, if you bring it I can give it a decent home. I can strap it to my station wagon's roof rack and it can be a conversation starter too, lol.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Lol, I'd just drive it until the rods suddenly started to hammer and it lost all it's horse torques, then pull off the side of the road and dump in 6 more quarts. It would fire right up, clatter for a second, then go right back to running like a sewing machine. I kept a case or two of oil in...

    You know, anything that you reliably drive every day is reliable enough to drive across the country, imho. Your trusty old S10 could do Power Tour.
