    1987 Chevy seat belt warning buzzer

    there was a connector coming out of the seat belt buckle, and i plugged it in and it worked like it should. im assuming the switch opens/closes based on if the seat belt is latched or not. there where two wires going to it, one was white, one was black. thank you for those diagrams, those where...

    1987 Chevy seat belt warning buzzer

    I just took apart my seat belt retractor. There is no switch and looks like there never was one there I also looked everywhere for an electrical connector that matched the colors in the schematic and there is nothing, is there somewhere else that switch could be?

    1987 Chevy seat belt warning buzzer

    I think there is a pretty decent chance that is unplugged in mine, the carpet was replaced prior to me buying the truck, and the seatbelt retractor was removed for that, I will check it out tomorrow

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    hi all, heres the deal, I changed the oil and filter and put in 20w50, now I have 15psi at idle and 32-34psi cruising, and there was a minor lifter tick that went away also after the oil change so Im happy about that, so I am going to run with it this summer.

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    it had a warning light but it never triggered the light, i have my temporary gauge hooked up to it. and i am talking about the bypass that bolts up to the block with the oil filter adapter, im wondering if that can cause an issue.

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    it's about 20-25 miles since rebuild/break in, the filter is a wix, would the filter bypass affect oil pressure?

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    maybe the more appropriate term would be "refresh", new rings, bearings, gaskets, new heads, new oil pump, new cam/lifters, no block work was done, this was a decent running engine prior to disassembly, just was tired, and leaked oil

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    yes I checked with two mechanical gauges and got the same readings, I may switch to 20w50 for the summertime, it runs good except there is a small lifter tick at hot idle, im hoping the thicker oil will help with that. Is there anything else i could check that may affect the oil pressure...

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    Hello all, I'm kind of a newbie to rebuilding motors, I have a chevy 400 that has low oil pressure at idle when warm, when its cold it has 50-55 psi, when it gets up to temp, it drops to about 11-13 psi at idle (800rpm), when cruising (2000 rpm) it is at around 25-30psi, I know the general rule...

    350 to 400 swap... Worth it?

    I'll post a pic or two when i get a chance, I'll scrounge up a bunch of fender covers, treat it like a game of operation, and the swap should go smoothly

    350 to 400 swap... Worth it?

    that is what i was thinking, the physics of making power are on my side, I guess the main thing for me is getting over the fear of pulling the motor on when it has been recently painted. I have pulled engines before no problem but never on somthing this nice

    350 to 400 swap... Worth it?

    I have heard that about 400s running hotter, the one i have has aluminum heads and i have an aluminum radiator, so cooling shouldn't be an issue. I guess what I'm looking for is a relatively fast street car that is reliable. I have heard some people say that the hp/tq potential from the 350s...

    350 to 400 swap... Worth it?

    hello all, Sorry this is not square body related, this is pertaining to my 69 chevelle, and it has a mild built 350 in it, i just acquired a mildly built 400 small block, both are good engines. I'm just wondering if the extra 50 cubes is it worth the swap. I guess I'm just a little afraid to...
