350 motor no power
Have you checked / reset timing? Found all the vacuum leaks? Changed the main fuel filter and cleaned the little bronze ones at the carb if it has them?- Catbox

Got Stickers?
I simply googled "How dare you" sticker and found a seller on the Amazon. -
More horsepower
Yes. The TBI heads are all done at 4,000 rpm. There is no more to flow. So if you really want to get into it, swap the heads.- Catbox

Tbi crank no start
You need a new ignition module. I went though this with mine not that long ago. It would run off bottle feeding it. But no injector spray. New module and it fired right up. Now I also have a spare in the thing for just such occasions.- Catbox

Back into car audio for the Square....
Jeebus. New job 5 years ago has put more responsibility on my plate. The new responsibility means I have no more time. I have not even put one thing into the truck so far. I still have all the stuff in the garage ready to go. I need to take some time off and do something for myself...- Catbox

What new tools have you got lately?
Found some other random small tools at the Restore too. 8 inch clamp for clamping stuff... Yet another Milwaukee bag for Max. He now has several of them that he can leave in the most used walkways of the house.... He found me another flashlight and then dented it by being a hamfist... Old... -
What new tools have you got lately?
I found this old timey gem at the Restore Donation center the other day. It was even on sale which made it even easier to purchase to put up on a shelf to never be used again. -
305 to 383
Are you going to use the sad sad TBI swirl port heads on the the 383? Upon looking at the end casting of the engine photo you have above, you are running a set of Vortec heads. Nice.- Catbox

Parts suppliers, apples to apples
It is sad for the local parts stores for sure. My then 18 year old son was working at our last true hold out speed parts store. He was the one that the other counter people would refer customers to when the vehicle was "old"... One customer asked for points and the other nerds just kinda had...- Catbox

You will be amazed that this little starter works so well. I remember picking my first one up, so light and compact.- Catbox

More horsepower
These Pacesetters are made for the TBI trucks. They bolt right up to the stock Y pipe if that is your thing. Built with thick flanges they should work great. I have not installed these just yet as I am not sure how much hot rodding I want to do to my Suburban.- Catbox

OEM Starter options?
Yes. It cranks right over, no problem. The starter is not wrapped or anything either. But it is so much smaller so the headers give it plenty of space to stay cooler. And these have all been junkyard starters. I have had to change them out just because they are tired and just quit working. But...- Catbox

OEM Starter options?
I just bought the mini starter from Roc Auto and it only took a few days to get here. Same part number for small and big block. It will get put in this weekend. We have pulled several of them from the junkyard and they have all worked pretty well for a while. Good option to get you by for...- Catbox
