    Is this a correct bracket?

    Hey Travlr. I saw your post then saw this one. Thread 'Power Steering Pump Reservoir Adjustment' https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/power-steering-pump-reservoir-adjustment.41147/ Shows a new rebuilt pump like your old one. You can see its part number too. Hope this helps a bit.

    Another speedometer thread, stopping and asking questions before I mess something up.

    The other thing that maybe causing the issue is the nut holding the output yoke to the output shaft has worked loose, this holds the speedo drive gear on the shaft. See items 19 and 20. That nut has to be torqued up real good. This is for a 2wd version.

    Does anyone know any specifics on this truck????

    Im assuming the 305 had an electric carb on it like the M4ME with dancing needles in the primaries. That system worked quiet well it closed loop to get the best MPG with careful driving, I had the same setup in my 84 Monti Carlo SS. I did transplant a 4L60 into it for the overdrive gear (much...

    Clutch size

    If you go to the 12" check you have the correct bellhouse to accomodate the bigger clutch. See the 4 to 8 o'clock position has the big step for the bigger clutch. These come in hydraulic or mechanical setup.

    NV4500 + 12” clutch and pressure plate???

    Dont know if this will work with your setup, but I have used the 15530202 Bellhousing off the later SM465 with hydraulic clutch which is for a 12" clutch. I believe it fits the NV4500? looking at the trans mount holes Notice the bigger lower clutch disk area bulge for the 12", its basically...

    New Aussie square body owner

    Wz7u, Im doing a resto mod on my 76 C20. Its got a 454 and sm465 in it, and will have a 59 Apache stepside body on it. It started its life as a GM Holden RHD import from the US.

    SM465 L-2-3-4, can't shift into 2nd unless completely stopped (solved)

    Look forward to the update. After I rebuilt mine all gears were easy to shift into, but that is with the engine not running as I havent got the engine running yet.

    SM465 to auto conversion or something else?

    @AuroraGirl. What I meant was, you may even use Low, if you got 3.21 rear gears. Mind you heavy as, also works! Lol
