    Stock K10. What size tire?

    The rut actually goes on up and across the road, where I originally got struck. Thats just the spot where I couldn't back up any further.

    Stock K10. What size tire?

    I have 235/75/15's on my truck right now. It's a horrible off road tire. Not enough ground clearance when you get in a rut.

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    That's why I just started letting mine ride in the passenger seat.

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Go manual. Mine has a few minor problems, but it can't be killed.

    Esc?

    I just got finished playing with it a little. The mechanical advance dosen't seem like it's springing back into place real well and a vacuum gauge on the advance diaphram was only reading about 5.

    Esc?

    The knock sensor on the side of the block is exactly what I'm talking about. It looks to be original so I'm not even sure if it is functioning properly, though I don't have any engine knock at cruise. If it's not all that important, then I"m all for doing away with it. Simplicity is what I'm all...

    Esc?

    I was just doing some distributor research online and got thinking about my electronic spark control. When I put a new engine in I reused my old esc sensor, but the it looked rough, and the wire going to the loom is the same. I really need to do something about it. Would I be better off removing...

    Throttle Cable Poll & Talk

    A crack in the insulator caused mine to rust into. Who knew a piece of speaker wire could double as a hand throttle cable. Adapt and overcome.

    rough idle

    I don't think it could be the cam and crank marks not lined up. It's a new crate 350 that I put in myself. No internal engine work has been done to it. Could the timing tab be wrong for the damper?

    Any engine guys on here

    Read the link and will be buying a vacuum gauge this week. Never knew they could tell you so much about an engine.

    How I fixed my boken frame

    I read a thread on here about someone with broke frame at the p/s gear box. I actually had this problem last year, and if I would have know that this was a problem area for these body style Chevrolets I would have reinforced it before it cracked. This was my solution that didn’t involve any new...

    Post your toys, square or not

    My '94 Z28. Pic was taken by the previous owner. The wife has a '05 Kia Optima. It runs great, but I just ain't a fan of the imports.

    '87 Toyota 22R Knock

    We removed all the belts today and started it. The knock was gone. So the next was what pulley. The crank shaft pulley on them is a 2 pulley design with a third pulley bolted on the outside of it. The third pulley had a lot of movement. We tried to removed the four bolts the held it on. Two came...

    '87 Toyota 22R Knock

    My cousin bought a '87 toyota with a 22r engine. It ran good when he first bought it, but it ran hot when under load. He had the thermosat, water pump, and fan clutch changed, but didn't help. Turned out to be timing the whole time. After the new fan clutch was installed he suddenly had a...

    sm465 trouble

    Thanks, I'm sure complete rebuild kit couldn't hurt anything. I've vever done trans work before, so I'll most diffenently have to get a book about it.

    sm465 trouble

    Overall I love this transmission because it's so rugged. 1st isn't a horrible issue having ease of the clutch when getting it into gear because it's only used I'm hill climbing or pulling extremly heavy loads. The 3rd gear issue is really only a real incovienence when in traffic thats just about...

    sm465 trouble

    My truck has a 4 speed muncie sm465. It seems to be a great transmission that won't die no matter how hard I abuse it, but age seems to be taking over. Since I bought the truck 1st has always been difficult to get into, though gently letting off on the clutch while pushing it into gear seems to...

    Oil Pan Leak

    That pressure sounds alright. I dropped a new crate 350 4 bolt in my truck less then 2 years ago and from day one thats about the readings on my gauge. My gauge is a after market and I run a 10W30 oil. As for the seal, use a one piece rubber seal. I've used one on my old engine and didn't have a...

    Engine block numbers

    I found this on the internet and copied and pasted it. When you find the serial number goggle something like "identify chevy engine serial number". That's what I did when I bought my truck. Hope this helps. Big block Chevy engines have been produced since 1963. The engines started with the...

    rough idle

    At 8 deg advance it idle's horrible, to the point of barley running. I replace the fuel filter approx. every 6 months with a basic purilator inline paper filter and run a fuel treatment with every oil change. I know edelbrock 1406 carbs don't like no more than 5-6 psi fuel pressure so I...

    rough idle

    I would like to start by saying hi to all the square body fans out there. OK, I bought my truck about 3 years ago. All the emissions, expect the PCV valve, had been removed, and the stock 305 had been replaced with a 350 4 bolt out of '75 C20. All the vacuum lines from the canister were just...
