    Improving 454 HO gas mileage

    I've been driving my truck for about a month now and have gotten way worse gas mileage than I expected. I have calculated somewhere between 7-10 mpg. This is a little bit of mixed driving, keeping it around 60 on the highway. My setup is an sm465 with 3.73 gears, and a 830 HP carb. I...

    sm465 no reverse lights

    I bought my truck with the reverse lights wired up to a toggle switch, so i took a reverse switch out of another transmission and put it in my truck. My transmission will not turn the switch on when it's in reverse. And yes I did check the switch before installing it. I'm assuming it's because...

    454 brackets and pulleys

    I have been looking on ebay and for big block brackets and pulleys and everyone wants like $200 or more, any ideas on where I can get them for a better price? Or does anybody happen to have some they'd sell? That just seems like a lot to spend on them!

    blower motor resistor

    I recently bought an old Chevy, and I've been having a hard time finding parts because it used to be a pull truck so it is a bunch of different years. But the cab is from a 1981 Chevy diesel. I'm not sure if it even has a blower motor resistor as wires to the blower motor have been cut off. And...
