    NV4500 + 12” clutch and pressure plate???

    @SquareRoot thank you, super helpful. Quick question, re-reading your post.. your flywheel hit the bell housing… where mine when on perfectly…. I wonder what the difference is? I purchased a stock 168 tooth flywheel and clutch kit from Oreilly’s…??? On your slave mounting bracket…do your forks...

    NV4500 + 12” clutch and pressure plate???

    I just installed my NV4500 and used the AA kit (bell housing + hydraulic slave mounting bracket) 2 questions: 1. I could only get a 12” clutch setup … no 11” was available.. and my stock clutch was also 12”… Everything seems to bolt up… Am I in for a rude awakening when I crank it? 2. Anyone...

    Source for Power Window door panels?

    @CalSgt - Thanks for the info. When I bought this Blazer it was a literal rusted basket case.... but the previous owner gave me two door he picked up from a salvage yard - electric window doors. I'm very glad to know these are likely '77 doors... as I didn't know what the model range was. I...

    Fuel tank sending unit - 3 port or 4 port?

    One of the tests I ran to verify my vapor lock was happening IN the pump... is with it running - motor hot - and really just barely enough fuel in the glass fuel filter which lives between the pump and the carb (so I know it is in the process of vapor locking)... I took a water hose and ran...

    Fuel tank sending unit - 3 port or 4 port?

    Second question, the 4 port sending unit I purchased will have an extra port… I’m assuming I can simply cap it off? Port 1 will feed the fuel pump Port 2 is the fuel filler neck vent Port 3 will be the return from the 3 port fuel pump… Again, I’m assuming I do not need to set up a charcoal...

    Fuel tank sending unit - 3 port or 4 port?

    I some of you know, I had vapor lock issues on my trip to the mountains last summer. I'm add a return line (so new fuel pump and sending unit) and have 2 questions: 1. Can I use rubber fuel line for the return - or must it be steel? 2. One option on a sending unit is from Oreilly's; but it is a...

    Oil pressure question… or two questions

    Thanks everyone for the feedback...!

    Oil pressure question… or two questions

    @AuroraGirl Am I understanding that your oil pressure gauge fluctuates very little between idle and normal driving RPM? I’ve never had a truck like this where there seems to be little oil pressure difference between idle and normal operating RPM… seems odd which makes me think something is wrong.

    Vacuum line into the firewall?

    My guess is this will be an easy question for you all. On my 85’ K20, there is a very small diameter line the connects on one end into the larger vacuum line that runs into the vacuum reservoir, the other end runs into the firewall and under the dash somewhere. What is this line for? And for...

    Speedometer question

    What would cause the speedometer to only start working at say 30 or so.. and jump around and at 60 mph, it only shows 45 or 50? Is it most likely: 1. the greased up super dirty speedometer cable 2. something in the transfer case 3. the gauge? Thoughts?

    Oil pressure question… or two questions

    As mentioned previously. I bought an 85’ K20 for my daughter to be her daily driver. Engine looks like to be a GM crate motor. The guy I bought it from said he just changed the oil… used 10W 40. However the intake, sides of the motor, bottom…everything was so covered in grime, oil and Oklahoma...

    Question on tire size for an '85 K20...

    Purchased an '85 K20... my daughter wants it to be her daily... all original.. needs some work of course. Two questions: 1. Do these trucks benefit from a leaf-spring upgrade in the front to level the stance? The 'natural' stance of these trucks seems to be 'high' in the rear - I'm assuming...

    82 K10 Gauge Issues, Dual Tank Question

    @t44e6 I am by no means a wiring expert… just a novice at best. As far as the volt meter goes, I think I wired mine directly into a keyed ‘hot’ wire… which should give you the current state of the battery/alternator at all times. The gauge simply takes a 12 volt input. For my oil pressure...

    Engine cleanup???

    As I mentioned in an earlier post.. I picked up a 1985 K20 as a daily driver for my daughter. The intake and below the manifolds are really really gunked up with oil and dirt and more oil and dirt. Any thoughts of the best way to clean out all the intake crevasses and the 1/2” thick farm dirt...

    1975 Blazer - Sourcing the long tie rod?

    I do have a separate question though… Is the stock tie rod the 1-18 thread? Or the 7/8-18 thread? I’m assuming that this is the thickness of the tie rod plus the thread count…? What is stock?

    1975 Blazer - Sourcing the long tie rod?

    Thanks for the help, I guess I’m getting old… Not sure how, after all the work I did, but I totally forgot that I rebuilt and upgraded my axles to 8 lug 2500 axles out of a salvage yard.. but was still searching for the stock tie rods for a 75’… duh…
