    Oil dripping around starter

    I had the exact same issue when I bought my truck. It had a brand new GM crate motor in it with an Edelbrock manifold and carb which I assume the PO installed. It was the China wall that was leaking. Ran down the seam of the block/bell housing straight into the starter motor. You would swear the...

    how fast is your power window?

    Manual windows never fail. Even better, it leaves more room in the doors for speakers!

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    We're good. Maybe my brain just suffered a neuron misfire reading your post. If you're for VA, I like you. I respect your experience. I also have a robust background in AC systems. It gets hot here you know? Oh wait, your in Texas, you probably know. Sorry if I sounded like a knuckle head. Carry on

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    Fair enough, I'll meet you in the middle. 3 to be exact. What's your beef with VA? If I do want to argue why are you the wrong candidate? Are you a Jake Paul or Chuck Norris in disguise?

    Need to fix noisy ring and pinion.

    Swap in a NV4500 trans. It'll drown out the rearend noise.

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    Darn! I recently threw my entire factory setup in the dumpster. Was tired of looking at it sitting in the garage thinking I would sell it some day. I remember the day a few summers back when I pulled every last bit of the 45 year old cracked, broken, brittle, slow, sticky OEM POS out......and...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    Ummm. I have the surefit system and it's not universal. I ordered it online. The only "custom" thing was indexing the fittings on the hoses when crimping to avoid tension.

    Best split bench option

    Why would anybody want a split bench? If you don't like a bench, put buckets in it and be done.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    That's exactly what I have always thought about doing. The last thing a thief wants while stealing is drawing attention to themselves. It's counter intuitive and simple.

    Driving K20 without the rear driveshaft?

    It is a fluid seal but the level of the fluid is below the seal. Whatever leaks out is just a portion of what gets "flung" into the rear housing area of the t-case. You would be ok to seal it with a bag and zipties for a short drive. I had a similar issue but I have a 205 with a fixed output...

    For you LS swap guys.

    Your an exception. You have an LS AND manual trans. The rest of em.....baboon balls. Pic for effect.

    Driving K20 without the rear driveshaft?

    So you want to drive it at 60 mph while pumping the remaining fluid past the unsealed output shaft? Sounds like a great idea! Please report back with pics

    83 K20 GEAR RATIO

    Excellent gears! The issue is the 3 speed transmission. Put an overdrive in it and start living the dream.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    OG. Manual trans. Todays thieves are too stupid or lazy to exert much effort.

    Shake, rattle and roll!

    If by chance you have a two piece driveshaft take a good look at the carrier bearing. I've seen these symptoms before with a dilapidated bearing and mount.

    Shake, rattle and roll!

    Check the motor mounts for the heck of it. You'll need a crowbar to do it correctly.
