    90s 10 bolt fitment

    My 81 10 bolt is about to puke. I know the spiders are looser than a $2 hooker, and I just discovered my pinion bearing is sloppier than that. I have access to a free 10 bolt out of a 1990 GMC 1500 SLX. My question is, will the spring perches or anything else need modification to fit, or is it...

    79 c10 exhaust

    Are having to put a cat back on due to local laws? Not sure they had them standard in 79. I know on my 81 the cross member and hangers are setup to run exhaust down the left side for its 250.

    Fuel Pump won't draw fuel from tank

    Hmm.. with the pump putting out the Hg you're saying, that tells me the diaphram is good in the pump. What I don't see, have you tried removing both filters? Have you tried turning engine over while output on pump is setup to pour into a can, physically see what you're getting from the pump...

    ENGINE SWAP -or- SELL! the final say for the most efficient square body motor!

    I VERY much want to see someone do a 3800 SC2 swap in a square..oh and by the way... a few places make a bell housing adapter for it ...just saying. http://www.transmissionadapters.com/GM%203800%20series.htm I've also thought seriously about taking the whole front cradle from a GTP or Regal...

    Fuel Pump won't draw fuel from tank

    As a quick follow up.. if you get to the point of testing without filters, test direct to carb with new line if possible. Again, the line from pump to carb could be pinched somewhere and still blow air through it, but not allow enough fuel flow.

    Fuel Pump won't draw fuel from tank

    Hey.. my ears are ringing! :yawn: Ok, after reading the thread, let me clarify a couple of things I've learned... 1. There is no push rod for an inline 6, the pump arm makes direct contact onto the cam lobe. 2. There should be NO shims or spacers between the block and the pump, the...

    Cab fender patch?

    Personally, I'd wire wheel the hell out it, rust stop on the inside, tiger hair the hole and sand it smooth. A little body filler to finish smoothing then sand that. Rattle can over the top of it all and the inside. It won't be perfect, but it'll buy you a year or more until you can buy a whole...

    Step-son showed up.. We tinkered a bit, tore into the dizzy. We did notice..and fixed, the ground spade crimp off the ignition control module was sort-of loose, and came apart when we removed it.

    Need some Inliners help

    chengny thank you for the great technical explanation. Based on your response, I'm chasing a gremlin. I say it's more like the B+ dizzy wire coming off as when it dies, it stops firing on the cylinder... Usually with a stall, another cylinder or two will attempted to fire. When this happens, it...
