Oil gauge issue
I wonder what's the best spot to tap a 2nd pressure sensor? On a filter base? Or any other spot?- mibars

Truck Size
Every segment of vehicles has grown up. Even small city cars like Fiat 500 or a Mini are huge compared to the generations from 50 years ago. But in Europe a square body Chevy is still huge compared to other vehicles, being the size of a van, not a car. In 1st picture I believe we see a RWD...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
Yup. Ignition module, that was it. Purrs like a sewing machine. Whatever died first & fried the other, a coil or a module will remain a mystery. But I suspect a no-name module as a source of that drama. A part number G462 suggests that's a MasterPro brand. Also had a reading on a GMT400 forum...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
Got lucky and found some private seller selling AC Delco D1943A :) If that won't fix the issue I'll keep diagnosing and throwing parts until it does :D- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
I find that there are couple of identical looking modules, same pins, etc. with different part numbers, D1960A (the one that I can buy), D1984A, D1943A. For now I found that the D1984A and D1943A are usually listed as identical and interchangeable, but D1960A seems to be used with V6. I even...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
Yes, it does. 12.1 V on pink wire with coil disconnected (power to the coil good, although no load) The moment I plug it back to the coil some stuff clicks, I believe injectors fire once, but no spark on a spark plug connected directly to the coil output wire (laying on mainfolf for grounding)...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
Coil replaced, still no start... Coil tested 12 kOhm on secondary, bit higher than 8.1 kOhm on the onethat I took out and close to 1 ohm on primary. I don't have a comparison of primary coil as this is what's blown in my old one. Injectors are spraying, I can smell gas. I put a spark plug into...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
I agree, but that's what they had locally in Poland. Without it I can't even park my Burb back into garage to work on it, got it towed home, but no way to push it uphill to the garage.. BTW a sight of a VW Passat towing a Suburban through the forest must have been an interesting sight for...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
New coil of unknown brand is on the way. Dedicated to 'old forklifts', apparently some used GM motors This makes me wonder what are the common items that may die and disable the car on those TBI engines? I guess ignition module may be one of such items. I'd like to have some common spare parts...- mibars

Engine died when driving and won't start - Coil melted
Hi, My 350 TBI burb has just stalled wile driving, upon first couple of tries to restart it appeared like it was trying to start firing couple of cylinders, now I have zero ignition. TBI is splaying fuel, double checked it's not fuel by pouring a bit of gas right into throttle body, no ignition...- mibars

Cig lighter phone holder issue
You can try putting a thin screw between cig lighter and the tray to make it slightly tighter. Some PO put couple of screws into mine which made it so tight that I could barely plug anything. BTW I recommend a mount that I made using L shaped piece of metal and a "vent" type holder, screwed to... -
Loss of e-brake after driving on rough roads
It actually didn't, it was all the way loose. I checked some old footage where I got a shot of that splitter/adjuster and the nut was already at the end of the rod. I'll see inside drums in some spare time to check what happened there. -
Loss of e-brake after driving on rough roads
Something is still wrong. The e-brake could barely hold the Burb in drive and I had to floor it, never had to engage it that hard before. Adjusting it further made it even stiffer. I found an old video that I recorded and I see that the adjustment nut was almost all the way out before, so...
