    Gears

    As previously posted we need more info.. Is it “Too high” when traveling in high gear, or “Too high” when trying to take off in low gear? Please elaborate

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Just a thought… I don’t have any idea if this applies to your situation. On the older vehicles (not sure about the years?) a wire ran from the starter solenoid to the coil, this was for providing sufficient power to the coil while the starter was cranking… Are you sure about the battery itself?

    1978 Scottsdale Drag Link Question

    I’ve got an ORD 4” lift on my ‘78 K20, the drag link angle seems excessive to me, but this is without the cab & box on the chassis. Hopefully the springs will settle somewhat…

    Thanks Nick That’s exactly what I thought, but wasn’t sure. I see these going for much more all the time. I’ll try to get with the guy early tomorrow.

    4L80 on FB Market Place

    I’m always looking for possible parts in my area. Saw this today, I have no experience with the later model stuff. I’m not asking about the price, I always negotiate. It’s the trans itself, year, etc.. What do you think?

    Mandrel exhaust shop

    The manufacturer I work for has a nice hydraulic bender, it’s used for steel tubing such as hand rails etc… I’m not sure how many dies it has, but you can bet if it can be used for a custom exhaust system I’ll be all over it!

    6.2l crankshaft bolt thread size? (Balancer replacement)

    I don’t know the thread size but you really need the proper installation tool. It will have a thrust bearing.

    Adding 4WD, where does the shifter go?

    On my build, a ‘78 that had a 203, I’m going to adapt the 208 shifter to the existing hole in the hump. It will definitely need to be enlarged, but I don’t have any exact measurements yet, the cab is off the frame.

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    The ignition switch itself is mounted down on the steering column. It is actuated by a rod connected to the key cylinder. The ignition switch has adjustment, it can be moved to align correctly with the key position.
