    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    If the lifter bore was tight, or there is crap in the lifter contaminating it, you will not fix it with lighter oil. Verify lifter bore was not warped and the lifter can rotate. If it was stuck during break in, the spring is heat soaked and the valve in the lifter could be contaminated. My...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Health issues effect us all? So very pleased he's willing to take his time and do it right. Great guy to deal with. Less complexity. = More efficient. The LS is cool, more than twice the money and way more complex to R&R. In most cases, especially with non-race applications, it's clearly...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    He asks for three weeks to rework your TBI. So expect a month or five weeks with shipping delays. My truck has taken years to complete.

    Any tricks to getting your SB doors to close easier?

    Was about to tac weld the new pins because they keep riding up from the new bushings and slipping out the bottom stake. 3-4 door closes and they move up and rack the door again. I'm going to try this. Very cool!

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Here's my new SPR TBI 46mm. OEM '94 uses the rotary TPS without the external metal lever: It's got new bushings, all the throttle shaft play is gone, shaved horns, decked and flow tested. $250 plus shipping both ways. If you buy matched injectors and have him work your pod it's $450 plus...

    Options for tuning of Gen1 TBI in 2023

    Not exactly. This post has been updated because the tuner mentioned has refused to honor the deal we made and confirmed. No names mentioned. See MOATES is back in business and it looks like the safest method, repeated to me for years, will NOT be burning my chip. Everything I repeated in...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    It's above your pay grade to find the court cases because of the Trade Association's heavy hand on this crap...dark Hand erased it from the internet. Some of the operatives for that org are likely undecover here, arguing with you? Nahhhhh, never.... You know if GM had to recall 450,000 over...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    Great work Auroragirl. The regulations mentioned in your 2007 refrence article show it has been under review since 2007 for Surge Brakes. However there is a lot of refrence to tight requirements and the regulations numbers in there. You can see how the regulation for a single valve, could...

    Remote Oil Filter

    Here's the next update. The headers installed are Hooker Cast Iron with 2-1/2" collector down-pipe. Harris tuning suggested eBay Cat's. So for $35 make offer each, the seller sold me converters, so I'm 50 state legal with the short exhaust. They are 3" and will be necked down as slip-over for...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    It is confusing because the warning sounds scary. I can see a guy reading that on a Monday and not realizing what's implied and getting it wrong for years. We should not be so hard on people who make mistakes here. AuroraGirl does an excellent job of showing what she knows is correct, yet the...

    CS130 & Power Steering Bracket Mod 87' Trucks

    Here's the lower OEM Alternator bracket: This bracket works great. There's no need to risk cheap parts from the internet just to hold your alternator up. The OEM hardware is better than what you get in the ghetto kits. The PowerMaster does not require the exciter circuit to run. It has been...

    You can buy specialty thick washers for your welding project. You'll need to contact ORD for the extra long greasable bolts.

    4l80e conversion in 1985 suburban. What parts do I need?

    Jag's That Run makes a unit, if they still have them available. But they do not reluctor with a transmission controller for signal. Had to add a reluctor wheel to my 4L80-E build internally. That said, you are 2WD? JTR unit, if they have one, MAY not work with the Transmission controller...

    Check the drag link is centered properly off the bump stops at both knuckles before you align. Who knows if they will align the drag link before they try to align? You would hope so.
