    700R4.output shaft leak

    That hole is to let it breathe the yoke slides in and out it needs to have an air release to slide in and out freely. Otherwise I see the potential to draw and trap transmission fluid in the cavity at full extension and then force the tailshaft forward with hydraulic pressure from the trapped...

    Carb backfire under load

    I'd look at the valve springs and also verify all the exhaust valves are opening approximately the same amount. I'm leaning to a valve spring. It happened suddenly,yes a module could go bad out of the blue one day but,they usually just die or if not just dead,dead soon after.

    Intake manifold and stripped bolt

    @edgephoto ^^^^Correctly is kind of subjective there isnt it? Correctly would be replace the head with one that has no damage,2nd closest would be weld the hole shut and remachine. Practical repair is what will work best,for time money and effort. If the manifold were already off,helicoil or...

    Did you fix the brakes yet? I won't help you make more power until you have proper brakes.

    Intake manifold and stripped bolt

    Helicoil will be significantly bigger pain in the azz,compared to tapping 10mm 1.25 if there is still enough meat. You can probably start a 10mmx1.25 tap without drilling,getting a drill back there is going to be tough. To insert a helicoil,drill size is 25/64s so you will have to remove the...

    Intake manifold and stripped bolt

    I'd tap it 10x1.25 and finish with or make a bottom tap if you don't have one. Then run a 10mm bolt as deep as I could. You can probably get away without drilling,or removing the manifold,go slow and easy grease your tap and clean it often

    Needs MORE POWER!!! (Tim Taylor Style!!!)

    882 low compression smog heads. I don't use block numbers not enough info from a block number all that tells me is it's a 400 block. The number behind the alternator tells year,compression,2bbl,4bbl,auto, manual,hp

    Needs MORE POWER!!! (Tim Taylor Style!!!)

    Take it to LesScwab and they can tell you. They are geniuses and work for free.Or get the engine code off the front of the block,behind the alternator stamped on a rectangular pad. Get the head numbers from underneath the valve covers. To spec the cam,degree the balancer or put on a degree wheel...

    350tbi stalls for fuel cutoff

    The ecu gets it's signal from the ICM which also controls spark. So this is weird. If the ICM drops out you should lose spark and fuel,not just spark. The TBI sequence of things that are going on are so much more than what is just common sense or even used on other vehicles. For example the ICM...

    New paint gun

    I've got hvlp,and I think O.P did also. But he went to lvlp. I'm curious if it is significantly lower on overspray.

    New paint gun

    I have some questions about your lplv gun. Actually they are weirdo questions you probably cannot answer,but here we go. Is the amount of overspray considerably less? Never-ending I know the answer to the weird question. Thinking of shooting ingredients some tool boxes and cabinets with...

    Show off your non-square project cars.

    Never heard of an aluminum block 305. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he used an aluminum Buick 215. That was later sold to Rover and was put in landrovers and TR8s. I could even see an Oldsmobile aluminum 300,due to the similarities to the aluminum 215. Not sure but I think either of those could...

    350tbi stalls for fuel cutoff

    But there is a second circuit. It is routed through a 2nd oil pressure switch, it is redundant and supposed to provide power to the fuel pump even if the relay or its circuit has failed,so you aren't stranded on the road. So both circuits have to fail to lose fuel. I would first make sure you...

    73-87 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Problem

    Does the truck have power brakes or manual brakes. Did it always have that type?

    I think a rod spun a bearing in my rebuilt 454

    Square=, bore and stroke the same, over square= bore bigger than stroke, under square =bore smaller than stroke. SBC 350 and Olds 350 close enough on bore and stroke,where the Olds has the advantage is the long rods IMHO. We used Olds rods in SBC before all the cool hot rod stuff got cheap. Olds...

    350tbi stalls for fuel cutoff

    The relay needs a 12 volt power in which when the relay closes is provides power out to the pump. The relay gets a 12 v signal from the ecm to close the relay when the ecm has tach signal. The relay has a constant ground for the electro magnet side. I wrote this all up earlier today for someone...

    87’ 350 tbi hot start issue

    Hmm so if you turned on a lamp but it didn't light,and you replaced the bulb and it didn't light. That means it's time to investigate further does the relay have power and signal? Do you know how a relay functions and what a relay needs to function? I drew you a pic. Typically but not always an...

    broken spark plug

    Try driving the truck,get it hot, and removing the plug hot. Cardboard in front of the radiator if you have to. Ground the loose plug wire so it can't spark.

    Will Spray max USC 2k High Gloss Clearcoat Aerosol work over metalflake paint

    It's not a matter of the metal flake it's a matter of shooting a compatible paint over what base. What kind of paint does the truck have on it? And what kind of paint are you trying to shoot over it. Not looking for brands,looking for types.

    1979 K-1500 6cyl and 8cyl engine harness wiring

    What color wires do you have,that you think are for your temp and oil pressure? They are just wires no connectors on them?
