    Engine spinning backward when killed?

    350 Crate, unknown mileage year etc.. In the race car. Running really well and smooth, or was till it just developed a miss that is yet to be pursued. Idle set at 1100 rpm, timed by ear, I don't have a light. When I kill it sometimes it will just die. Sometimes it just wants to keep on running...

    Build your own spark plug wires?

    Sure some of ya'll do it. What kind and where did you get the crimping tool? What size is it, 10.5 mm is all I can find? Where does one find just bare wire, like on a roll, and an assortment of various ends and boots? I've looked on amazon, smileys and speedway with no luck. Well, no luck...

    Did my ignition switch just go out?

    84 K 20, 350, 465. Jumped in it to go have steaks with the lady friend, fired right up and off we go. About a mile from the house look in the seat, have a jacket, have a bottle of Johnny Walker...no steaks. Turn around, come back to the house grab the steaks, hit the key, nothing? Do it again...

    Rear diff swap? Ass u me, they fit?

    Pinion bearings in the 81, K10 went out. Geared 4;10, 4 speed 465, with a 205(?) TC. It has the 10 bolt diff. I have 3 12 bolt truck diffs, 1 in a 78 K10, 1 in a 78 Blazer, both auto trans and 203s I believe. 3rd is in a 80 K 10 465/205. Figure the 12 bolt in the blazer is the best, and vehicle...

    350 to 366 swap in a 75 C 30, How much of a PIA?

    Ran across a late 60's C 50 with a 366, and a 465(?) 4 speed. Were the 4 speeds 465's then? How much trouble would the interchange be? Motor mounts, electric, and radiator is what I see? Say 366, unless the engine is all but new inside it will be bored to 427. Am I correct to understand bore...

    How straight are our axles?

    Same horse walker project, but just to over come ignorant. How straight should an axle be to be straight. This thing is dialed in the 4 jaw to a 1/2 thousand using their center on the spline end and its running out 65 thousand .065 in the middle.

    Van Norman 900 boring bar, cutters.

    Came up with this old thing 10 or so years ago. Didn't know what it was when I got it so, didn't know to look for the tool box that came with it. It runs and works, plan on putting it back to work. But, I have no cutters for it. Sure I can make tool holders for it and improvise a touch and it...

    That little wire clip under the steering wheel.

    Piddling with the Sprint, and the steering wheel is flopping around. It should make it in the shop this weekend and that is an issue I'd like to address. Figure that that little damn clip is gone. Is there a way to tighten the steering wheel other than jacking with that little wire clip, snap...
