    Quadrajet Filter Spring

    I have an 80' K25 with 350 and it is exactly how @Ricko1966 says. Long filter with spring and rubber check valve inside the filter.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    My 97 K2500 with a 454/4L80 combo had the smaller high torque starter on it. The factory one will also have a heat shield on it to protect the solenoid from the exhaust heat.

    Header farts

    Remflex for sure. Doesn't really matter on the bolts, just make sure you get ones that you can get a socket on so you can torque them down properly. With the remflex, I have put them on, torqued to the remflex spec, go for a nice long drive, let them cool down and then retorque... done. Never...

    4x4 Headers, Flowtech 11500FLT

    I've never had an exhaust leak using Remflex gaskets. Use quality bolts and torque them correct with quality gaskets and they will never come loose or leak. I've had multiple manifolds crack over time and/or rust the bolts/studs in them to the point of being permanently installed. All of my...

    Fuel Line Repair at TBI

    That an EFI hose clamp and early TBI only has 12-14psi. I personally would do a temporary repair like this if I needed it running right now, but I would try to swap it over to something better pretty quick. Rubber hose in that area is going to deteriorate pretty fast. You can get a TBI to AN...

    What’s the solution to this?? Idle adjustor

    Supposedly both the Innova and Autel options will read live data from ALDL OBD1 applications. I've been thinking about getting one to read live data on my 93 Honda civic. The RedRiver one is supposedly just some car guys in New York... but they are notoriously bad at communication. They have...

    What’s the solution to this?? Idle adjustor

    There's a ton of them out there. Autel, Snapon, Innova, etc... all make various models that are capable of accessing the live data and doing various things. You can also just get a simple ALDL cable for cheap and use Tunerpro to read the data. Here's one of the "covers all" solutions...

    What’s the solution to this?? Idle adjustor

    Theres a procedure that doesn't actually rely on having any data to reset the idle. Get the vehicle nice and warm and then shut it off. -Jumper the A and B pin on the ALDL connector. -Turn the key on without starting the engine for 10 seconds to allow the IAC pintle to fully close. -Turn key...

    Anyone running an 8.1, what trans are you using?

    Yeah, the big issue is finding a tailhousing. Can't seem to find those for cheap ever, so finding an actual 2wd to start with is definitely money and effort ahead.

    Anyone running an 8.1, what trans are you using?

    You definitely need to disassemble it to get to the shaft to replace it, but it may or may not have the reluctor gear on it all the way up to 97. Its super easy to just pop it on when you have it out though. I think it was only ~$15 for a brand new reluctor gear and it took me 10 minutes to just...

    Anyone running an 8.1, what trans are you using?

    A 4L80, even in completely stock form, should have no problem at 582TQ. Unless you are drag race launching it or pulling very heavy loads, it will be just fine. You only need to change the output shaft, rear lube plug, and add a tailhousing to convert the 4wd to 2wd.

    Any AC gurus?

    I just fill it slowly on the low pressure side using a gauge set I have until the high side pressure stabilizes at the right pressure for the ambient temperature. Then I check the vent temps to make sure it is hitting the right values and send it. I fill the individual components with PAG while...

    L76 Rebuild

    I just bought a National LM603049 bearing(apparently A-37 will also work) and took it apart. The rollers are tapered and a perfect fit for the oil towers for the DOD system. They will drop right in and a few light taps secure them in the block, then you never need to replace the O-rings...

    L76 Rebuild

    I was underwhelmed by TSP. I tried calling their tech support to get their thoughts on a cam selection and there was a lot of "huh?". They seemed more like salesmen than techs and it took a lot of back and forth to get VVT cam tables that their own website said they would provide. If I was doing...

    Hot ground wire

    As Dingo said.. you need, AT A MINIMUM, the same size wire for the grounds as you have providing power from the battery. Since you have the main power feed through a 4AWG wire straight to the starter, you need at least that much going from the block back to the battery.

    Hot ground wire

    That strap is supposed to go from the back of the cylinder head to the cab firewall. You need a minimum 4AWG wire from the alternator bracket or block to the frame and then same gauge from the frame to the Battery. That strap is not going to flow nearly enough without massive amounts of...

    Air Compressor Issue

    Best bet is to get your multimeter out and check whether you are actually getting 220. Are you sure you connected it to the 220 circuit on the generator? That generator should be able to provide 240V/31A continuous and 240V/40A peak... which should be plenty for a 22A electric motor.

    Charcoal canister delete?

    If that is happening, I would say you have a purge issue. Running the T into the overflow line will make it a closed system and you would need to get a vented cap in order to prevent the tank from blowing up or collapsing

    Air Compressor Issue

    Best guess is that the generator and/or compressor are not wired correctly for what you are trying to do. My 60 gallon compressor with a 6hp 220 motor will run fine on my 9.5Kw generator. It should only surge the voltage at the initial startup of the compressor and run fine after that. Pics of...

    Transmission cooler ideas

    You can still get quality stacked plate coolers. I have a tru-cool 40k on my 2011 Burb and it stays no more than 70 degrees above ambient... no matter what I'm doing to it. I'll probably run an H7B or M7B on the square for the 4L80.

    1990 Suburban oil pressure gauge only reads 30 PSI

    The big block had it behind the PS pump on the side of the block in some years.

    4l80e rebuild gone wrong...

    Round pattern 205? Or did you modify a figure 8 to have the long input? I have a stock 205 Figure 8 with the short input as it originally had a TH400 in front of it. I'm using the stock adapter with a Northwest Fab adapter plate and cut down a 2wd output shaft to fit the required 4-7/8" length...

    4l80e rebuild gone wrong...

    That didn't happen because the output shaft was wobbly. They are all wobbly and free floating. It should have been held steady by either the output bearing on the rear housing in a 2wd or it gets held steady by the input on the T-case in a 4wd. I have NEVER seen a 4l80 32 spline gear strip like...

    4l80e rebuild gone wrong...

    You either have a trashed transfer case or rear end. If you are hearing things spinning and it is grinding going into park... the transmission is going into gear and spinning the output shaft. I would block the wheels and set the parking brake, then put it into gear. Get out of the truck and see...

    4l80e rebuild gone wrong...

    The highlighted part of his statement that I was referring to specifically says that he get the pawl bouncing after putting it in drive and then returning it to park. That to me sounds like what you get when you are messing with 4wd and put the transfer case in nuetral with the trans in drive...
