    Any pcb experts out there?

    Power wire that goes from the starter to the fuse box came loose in the terminal (not my crimp job, lol) and short circuited some stuff. Took out my RetroSound radio. It blows the fuse immediately. I took it apart and found this. I dabble in pcb stuff at work for old machines, but it's limited...

    Bought a boat

    Since we've been wanting to move, my wife has been wanting a boat. Well, now that we've moved and I finally got a job, got to talking to a guy at work and he was selling his pontoon. After searching FB marketplace his turned out to be a really good deal. Most on FB around here are 16-20 footers...

    Pads stick above the rotor

    I changed my front brake pads and noticed something. The drivers side both pads are even with the top of the rotor. On the passenger side the inside pad sticks above the rotor and the outside pad is even with the top. Do you know what would cause this? I was thinking maybe a bent caliper bracket...

    Cracked windshield

    My truck was covered in snow. Cleaned it off and headed to work. Didn't notice if there was a Crack or not but when I left work there it was. Anyone know if they make the windshields with the antennas anymore? And where is a good place to get a windshield? Local glass shop or someplace online?

    HVAC vacuum from LS

    Since winter is coming, heat and a defroster would be nice. How did you guys with an LS hook up the vacuum line? I'm thinking about using the push-to-connect port on the back of the intake. I can't find any other vacuum sources.

    Barn door catch

    Looking for a catch, spares if possible as my upper one is almost worn through from a loose door. I need bolts and shims as well. Thanks.

    Gremlins! I hate them!

    Fried it! Just coincidence I guess but I used a pair of jumper cables to start the LS on the stand. Had to run to the parts store to buy a new starter because the one I had would barely turn the engine over. I jump and and turn the key... nothing. Try a few more times and finally it starts. I...

    Vortec overflow

    How did you guys mount yours? And where? I'm thinking mid passenger fenderwell which would probably put it about factory location. I got no problem making brackets but curious to see what others have done.

    LS PS pump differences

    In the pile of parts I got there were 2 ps pumps. One big pulley similar to the sbc style and one small pulley that kind of has a remote reservoir. I'm thinking the smaller pulley puts out more pressure. Anyone researched this before?

    Looking for a gopher in Northern Indiana

    So a guy in Dupont, IN has a set of cargo doors for a '78 Suburban. Same colors as mine but not rotted and has all the latch hardware. He's about 4.5 hours from me and can't meet on the weekends so that leaves me screwed. Anyone in that area travel to Chicago at all? Or live between the 2? Paid...

    NVU gauges

    https://newvintageusallc.mybigcommerce.com/73-87-chevy-f-s-performance-ii-black/ Anyone used these? I'm really thinking about getting a set in the near future. USA made is a big plus for me as well. My only peve about them is they don't use the factory blinker locations but I might look into...

    Need help with cold idle settings

    So as the temps have been dropping here in Chicagoland my truck is finding it hard to stay running. On a decent day I come out in the morning, step on the gas pedal once, fire it up and it stays running. High idle is usually around 1k rpm, by ear (I don't have a tach, that will happen when it...

    NP205 experts

    So I bought one about 2 years ago. It had a slip yoke which I removed and sold fully expecting to buy a SYE kit. The time has come where I am looking into getting my 205 mounted to my 4L80e and no one has a SYE anymore. Apparently the manufacturer of the output shafts went out of business or at...

    2wd box for 4wd?

    I know you need a 2wd steering box for crossover but can you use it for the stock 4wd steering if you clock the steering arm correctly? I'm asking because I am thinking of buying a PSC box as mine is pretty worn. I want to do crossover in the future but can't afford it right now and I don't want...

    Another isolator thread...help

    Ok, so I'm feeling a little dumbfounded when it comes to installing this battery isolator. I'm trying to install a 2nd battery (obviously) and can't seem to wrap my head around the wiring. I understand the drawing that came with the instructions but where do you run the cable to the starter...

    What is this bracket?

    It was lumped in with my SM465 but I don't think it's part of the Z bar linkage (maybe it is?). I thought it might be an alternator bracket but not sure. I'm sure someone knows...

    New master on old booster

    Anyone done it on a hydraboost? I've seen the posts about using the corvette masters for rear disc brake conversion but I'm assuming this is for vacuum boosters. Are the new and old bore sizes the same? Bolt pattern?

    Mixing Dana 44 and 10 bolt knuckles

    So I think I shot myself in the foot here. I bought an 8 lug 10 bolt front, assuming it's an '83 front from the stamping on the ring gear. I took the passenger knuckle off of the D44 that was in my '75 and had it machined for crossover steering since it was a flat top. So now I installed the D44...

    Factory Stand Alone 0411 PCM for 4L80e

    I thought I had heard about this before but took me some time to locate a write up on it. The 0411 PCM can be used as a stand alone transmission controller, you just need a TPS and RPM input. It's also readily available in junkyards in '01-'02vehicles. I'll probably work on this as my next...
