    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just the eBay one. I used a bandsaw and took 1/4” off of the standoffs for better engagement of the gears. The “upgrade” was really adding more turns to the spring on install.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Re-redid the window regulator. Added another turn to the support spring. It was a PITA, but it works really well now.

    FS Door Locks

    $10 to cover shipping for a pair of door locks and 3 keys. One key the head is kinda messy. These are well used, but functional. Comes with horseshoe clips. One lock has a little overspray on it, but scratches off with a fingernail.

    Grounding an Ignition control module!

    Aluminum is still conductive. I believe the MSD modules with extra grounds have extra functions that require more stability.

    Grounding an Ignition control module!

    A ground wouldn't hurt, but the distributor clamp grounds it to the intake. Bolts ground the intake to the heads, and again to the block.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Put new rollers on the window regulator, new window motor, new key switch. Next is to put relays in there, but it works again!

    Good ball joint brands

    Moog "Problem Solvers" and Mevotech TTX stuff is great. The Moog Problem Solvers aren't always listed like that. Sometimes they say "metal gusher bearing". Been a while since I've even seen the plastic bushing Moogs. I have personal experience with both balljoints. I usually end up with Moog...

    How to switch from a DRW to a SRW in a 1981 K30 / 350 engine / 3 speed manual / 4x4

    I ran my '84 without flares and just a single rear wheel. No issues. Didn't look too weird.

    Suburban Tailgate Window Switch

    I didn't have a key for mine, but I still have the guts just in case. Now I'm really glad I have it. Ordered a keyed alike set from Jegs. $95 for the tailgate and both front doors.

    Towing with my 86.... hints, tips, essentials?

    Per the specs on the camper, 5500 pounds is max loaded weight. Specs say 4200 pounds wet, no cargo. Yeah, it'll tow different for sure. But the car on the trailer was tongue heavy, which makes for its own challenges. Properly loaded, I think it'd pull fine, especially at the speed limits in the...

    Towing with my 86.... hints, tips, essentials?

    My Camaro on a car trailer weighs over 5k pounds. I pull it with a C10 Suburban with 3/4 ton running gear and a 454 with TH400. I do have an external trans cooler. I had no real issues. Pulled a little over 300 miles round trip. And it gets HOT out here.

    Please help. 84 blazer

    Just to see if your problem lies elsewhere or with the dizzy/wires/plugs, I would suggest running a wire directly from the battery to a standard 1/4" female spade and plugging it into the BAT spot on the dizzy. This will give it full 12v constant. You'll have to pull the wire to shut it down...

    Suburban Trans Pan removal help

    I assume you mean the rear bolts? I don't think there's a crossmember anywhere near the front of the pan. If the crossmember that supports the trans at the tailshaft is what you're talking about, you can support the trans and just remove the crossmember. Kinda sucky for just a gasket job, but...

    Review: Simple, stand alone GPS tracker

    The downside of an airtag is if the thief has an iphone, they'll get a notification after a bit that there's an airtag following them.

    Review: Simple, stand alone GPS tracker

    The recent post about a stolen and chopped up truck, and the suggestion to add a tracker, made me want to post this. For the last five years, I've been using a device from a company called MoniMoto. https://monimoto.com/ I started out with a model MM6 (old and out of production) and now have...

    Moog Ball Joint Boot Slipping Off

    Once the spindle is on, the spindle keeps the boot down far enough. This seems to be really common on ball joints nowadays. Lots of vehicles I've done have been similar.

    Old school garage door opener remote

    I bet an old school surface mount horn button would fit in there. Just an idea.

    1986 sbc th350 ran dry on ATF :o

    If you drop the pan, I suspect you’ll find the clutch material in the bottom. That will at least confirm it’s toast.

    73 Blazer 350 spark plug stuck

    To Rick you listen. I busted off an oil fitting inside of my Hughes built TH350, like two weekends before a big race. Couldn't get it out with anything. A greased left handed bit, go slow, remove the chips from the drill periodically and re-grease. Still running that trans. And an engine...

    1986 sbc th350 ran dry on ATF :o

    It could be. More likely it's your AC condenser. Check the passenger side of the radiator. There should be two hard lines going into the tank there. If there's nothing hooked up there, then you'd have an external cooler somewhere. Probably.

    241c or stay with the np203

    Never rebuilt mine. Put 50k miles on it that way when I had it.
