Finding Serpentine Belt Lengths
Belt #4 was perfect. Felt like I was playing Name That Tune.....I can guess that belt length in 5 tries. I can get it in 4. Name that length.- Doppleganger

My ex-sister in law might be nearby.....300+lbs and a flatulence problem. That would definitely set off seismographs.- Doppleganger

Finding Serpentine Belt Lengths
So I find what I believe is the perfect size. Was exactly the length I measured and fit well. Only oddity it was a cheap house brand from OReillys. I order an AC Dilbert gold belt in the same size only to find out they run differently. Fits well but has too much give IMO. Barely pushing I can...- Doppleganger

Finding Serpentine Belt Lengths
I have an original AC Delco serpentine belt kit for my motor but with all the customizing, etc. its too short. I ran a cloth measuring tape on the pulleys and found it to be almost 4" longer than the 'original' (this with the tensioner fully retracted). Question I have is: do you measure the...- Doppleganger

What new tools have you got lately?
Built one of these setups - some have probably seen it online. FWIW...any vids you see on this setup, pay no attention to their measurements as your shop vac is probably different. Idea is the dust 'cyclone' swirls the debris around, with air being light - it passes on while the particles drop...- Doppleganger

What new tools have you got lately?
Local hardware still carries Irwin (USA) taps and thread dies. I buy them 1-2 at a time. They hold up quite well. Like most of everything they sell, the HF junk I dont even consider.- Doppleganger

Ignition Resistance Wire-Needed or Nah
You fellas know more about it than me, but I'm a huge fan of relays and surprised they aren't discussed more with trucks that had few to none - especially after we mod them. I worked on cars for years that loved to dump 2-3 25A+ circuits on a single 30A relay and then talk about its...- Doppleganger

Header Gaskets
So I call Summit - they ask me what I'm working on. I tell them I'm looking to buy a decent set of header gaskets for a SBC. Before I can tell them the PN I looked up, guy suggests....Remflex. lol So I ordered the Remflex header and collector gaskets yesterday. They are out for delivery today...- Doppleganger

Header Gaskets
Got ready to install my headers and realized the gaskets I had were some cheap fiber ones that came with the headers. Was wondering what you fellas used that worked. Fel-pro? Copper? etc. I have Edelbrock E-Tec (vortec style) heads and anything I saw that looked interesting never mentioned...- Doppleganger

What brake lines to get for lifted c10
Found them. Here's what I ordered: https://www.inlinetube.com/products/ct1018 I used the rear line but the fronts were too long. They are braided stainless and measure 25" long. If you have any use for them, shoot me an offer.- Doppleganger
