Installed a new gear reduction starter Friday. What a friggen difference!!! It turns over FAST. For $48 I think it was money well spent too!

Also did the PEX mod on the door strikers - what an improvement, I should have done that years ago! Thanks @HotRodPC for the idea!

Where'd you get the starter from? Nice horsie toys on the bench lol. At first glance I thought it was a dead squirrel or something.

Thanks


I got the starter on Amazon. $45 shipped from a company called DB Electrical. The starter came with a print-out of the QC tests they did before shipping, and it included the correct bolts and a shim (that I did not need).

And the horses are baby toys that got a little chewed-up by the dogs. Gotta clean them up before giving them back to the kids.

I spent a few hours tonight studying the differences in the wiper delay module boards between the 78-83 and 84-91 trucks. I'm working on trying to adapt the 84-up delay modules to the 78-83 delay switches since the 78-83 modules are obsolete and kinda brittle. Later model ones are easy to find-and I have quite a few NOS 78-83 delay/pulse switches anyway-but no NOS modules for those years.

So far I've narrowed the main difference is the column to module circuit cavities A and G (both brown) being the 2 leads for the rheostat/potentiometer which is built into the signal stalk. There's a bit more to the circuit board design of the 84-up modules but I think I'm about ready to bench test a modded module with one of my NOS 78-83 delay wiper switches.....yeah, that's how a spent my time when I'm board-I study circuit designs-lol

How do you identify pulse or not? I've always wanted tilt, but I don't know if if have pulse or not. There's the post that says this will work with this, but it mentions pulse, so I stopped there and haven't gotten back to it.

Installed new bottom, side springs in my original bench seat. I have to repair two center springs with the welder, repair bad sections in the top and bottom foam, and then reupholster it. How much are bench seats out of a 77 Chevy C10 going for now? I might sell it to finance more resto on the truck.
