    Cigarette lighter woes 1983 k25

    There should be an orange wire with a copper/brass spade connector that gives power to the cig lighter, id imagine it grounds to the ashtray itself or it uses the dash ground (i think it grounds through the ashtray) is the "other" orange wire, the other one leads to that light Some year must...

    Bearing wear

    do you know the measurement ? If not, may be woth checking out, if its barely any different or the same, id ignore it i guess, but people for similar bearings suggest plastigaging because it may indicate a connecting rod that is slightly bent OR the end of the rod is not machined perfectly ...

    No forward gears suddenly, but still have reverse

    an upgrade too would be to get a v8 th350, I forgot what exactly was different , I think the amount of clutches? New modulator, make sure rubber hose sections at the front and end of the vacuum line are new and fit tight, a quality filter and filled with dexron vi, an additional cooler if the...

    Finally, a squarebody forum!

    id check that your pulley's are not close to rotting away, they are thin and if the grooves are worn or the metal is rustying badly, the belts will get cut up from them as they wear more. And your outer pulley can come off its for an AIR pump. the fuel pump you should make into an edelbrock...

    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    The only thing to note, you cant use LED in your Sidemarker on the fender unless you get creative to fix the behavior. Normally they come on with park lamps, and they blink opposed to the turn signal in front if you have the park lamp on But without park lamps on, they blink with the turn...

    3 on the tree to sm465 conversion questions

    the clutch fork should be checked for being dimensionally close to where the later bellhousing would be, and that its in the same plane, so the z bar springs arent pulling sideways(id imagine this wears out the z bar quicker) If it were placed different, modifying the zbar or the clutch fork...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    Gotcha, thanks for clarifying, I had you opposite in one way, and the reason for saying it an entire different way lol. Appreciate it. So it seems like basic bracket-ing could make the swap doable, I have the metal to do the job, and either get my stick welder going or have my dad bring his...

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    Assuming the places the gmt400 bed is bolted is at the cross member spots of the bed, one could just drive a carriage bolt through the "inner" portions maybe? I am supposing a lot by asking that lol... Since it has a bed liner, I wouldnt care about making exposed bolt heads in the bed, but if...

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    @bucket you and anyone else with gmt400 could consider this to be an official "part out" if you are interested in any 1996 truck parts. The dash and interior iirc are different 96+ compared to the previous few years, but if there was anything youd like from it feel free to say I only have...

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    Front to rear would have it the tubing parrallel to the frame, tho, wouldnt it? Wouldnt I want it across so then I could attach to the frame? of course, I would be basically just centering where the wheels sit, it doesnt have a bumper nor will it, so its just a matter of "fore and aft" it...

    How to mount 1983 (O-ring style) PS pump on 1975 K10

    Confirm the vent in the cap works by blowing into the stem at the center at the bottom, if you can bleed air slowly through it this way, its a good cap

    This is actually interesting, @MrMarty51 how many fans does your oldsmobile have? The generation oldsmobile we both have are the same body as the 93 lesabre and 93 park avenue, so they have similar fan setups. My 1990 Only came with 1 fan, which is because it didnt have the auxillary fan RPO...

    Some of you are probably rolling your eyes (Grit dog I see you lol) But I going to be removing the good things from my old C1500 (1996 C1500 silverado trim) including the Vortec and the 4l60e (I even have an extra 4l60e for it) Of the things left after removing that stuff, I want to make a...

    How to mount 1983 (O-ring style) PS pump on 1975 K10

    Where did you get that ps cap? The reservoir wont change the fitting or what lines go into it, the pump itself has those. If you want your nice new pump body and cap on your old pump, go ahead. Just get new o ring incase the o ring is damage removing the reservoir.
