    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    The truck is not 4 wheel drive and believe the length of the axle is 56” backing plate to backing plate. Not too worried about top speed more about how bad the mileage would be highway driving, but also want a it to be fun to drive around town so understand it’s give and take for that aspect. So...

    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    It is a posi rear end, which is the main reason I would like to swap mine out, I currently have a non posi 3.08 in it now. My main concern was the overall length of the axle?

    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    Might be a stupid question but I have no clue about rear ends. I have found a 1970 8.5” Camaro 10 bolt with 4.11 gears and was wondering if I can make it fit in my 1981 sierra. Thanks

    It’s very likely that low vacuum could my my problem when it comes to running rich as I believe everything else is set properly but have no idea how much vacuum. Thank you for the help!

    Cylinders washed need help

    it is a brand new, ran for about 20 mins totally when setting the timing. it did idle well with the timing set (idled a bit high and seemed rich) but didn't die. after flooding it I tried to take it for the first test drive the next day and set my accelerator pump and idle screw to base settings...

    Cylinders washed need help

    I unfortunately don’t have a vacuum gauge right now but I will go get one. Not sure what power valve is in it, whatever comes stock in the carb. I believe ignition is about perfect now so that should be good.

    Cylinders washed need help

    I already set the float height like how you said and did the mixture screws, I will adjust more like you are saying when it runs again. Do I need to do anything about the cylinder wash or do I just need to get it running again and tune from there?

    Cylinders washed need help

    It’s a Holley 600 cfm street warrior, when it first ran the accelerator pump was way off but did run fine just high idle, if I lean it out and set the accelerator pump and idle to a factory setting would you recommend trying to start it or are there other steps first?

    Cylinders washed need help

    I didn’t at the time but I just pulled #1 plug and this is how it looks. I honestly don’t think there could’ve been much that got past either but it’s basically it a fresh motor and don’t want to do any damage.

    Cylinders washed need help

    I’ve recently completed my Sbc swap and just threw a new carb on it and it fired right up but was running a little rich, I went out yesterday to adjust the carb and I couldn’t get it to start after leaning it out (it was also very cold out) so played around with it and put it back to where it...

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    Oh ok, mine only ever had one line off so wasn’t much air. Mine was almost a grinding noise but slowly went to a whistle and now nothing. But I assume I didn’t have much air in the system which is probably why it was so easy to bleed

    Is yours almost a grinding noise or a whistle?

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I didn't get around to doing a proper bleed tonight but while messing with the carb and had it running for a while I took the cap off for about a minute and forgot about it totally, but now thinking back the sound went away. not sure how long it took to go away but it’s not there currently.

    Holley street warrior 600cfm for sbc 355?

    Well that’s good news! Will have to see how it works out, doesn’t need to be a crazy hot rod anyway just want a good runner with a little bit of pep to it when wanted

    Holley street warrior 600cfm for sbc 355?

    I ended up buying the carb anyway due to the steal of a price I got it for, so will see how it preforms, worst case I can sell it for at least what I paid and can go with one of the other options mentioned (At least it looks good on there lol)

    Holley street warrior 600cfm for sbc 355?

    Thank you for the input, I did notice the drivers side inlet which isn’t the biggest deal but is definitely inconvenient for making things look neat and clean

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I haven’t tried yet, the truck was running with the diesel and everything worked properly until I did the swap so air would definitely make sense, I’m going to bleed it and see what happens, I just didn’t think air would produce that much noise but starting to seem like that’s what it is

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    I have just completed a Oldsmobile diesel to sbc 355 swap and on my first start every sounded great but the first time I pushed my brakes in it make a grinding noise, and would go away when I let off, I’ve had the truck running about 10 times since then and would come on randomly at idle, now...

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Thank you! Really appreciate it. I have all the papers on this truck and know the history very well and very pleased with the fact it has little to no rust being all original and being made at the Oshawa plant in Ontario and never left Ontario, sat for 15 years in the early 90s so not much...
