    Sniper with 700R4

    You might be able to find a bracket at a salvage yard and make it fit your application.

    Chevy 305 heads

    I would get a guesstimate from a local machine shop first.

    I always thought a clutch pedal would deter 75% of thefts.

    Oil pressure help

    What's the deal with that voltage gauge? It should be around 14 when running.

    Can you tell if a block has 1 or 2 piece rear seal without opening it up???

    Do the one piece blocks have a mechanical fuel pump?

    Oil pressure help

    Or, before buying another gauge, if your existing gauge has the nylon/vinyl tube try disconnecting it and see if oil flows into a container while running.

    Oil pressure help

    Look under a valve cover for sludge. If there is a lot of sludge be prepared to drop the pan and replace the pump or engine.

    "T" in a second gauge that is mechanical.

    Losing coolant (video) 86 350

    Get some of the dye and a black light, or an inexpensive radiator pressure test kit. There are freeze plugs in front of the flywheel, after further review check the intake gasket at the back of the heads.

    Steering arm conical washer removal without swinging a hammer for 2 hours

    If you are working on the '78 K10, and if we are talking about the same thing, then it's not really a tapered washer but a tapered cone maybe 1/2" or more tall. The one on my '84 blazer fought me every .000005" of an inch on the way out. Try a lot of cussin" and don't throw any tools may help.

    Any CUCV 24v to 12v Conversions Here?? M1031

    What starting (or lack of) issues are you having? For a full 12 volt setup the starter and glow plugs need to be changed. Is the massive resister (not needed) still on the firewall? On my old cucv blazer I used a 555 timer and ford type starter solenoid for the glow plugs, they draw a lotto amps.

    Smog pump.

    Power steering conversio

    I'd start at a salvage yard for the box, pump, pitman arm brackets and hardware. Even if the box and pump look trashed, they have a core value if you go rebuilt.

    If it was my project, I'd try a salvage yard first for the parts and hardware.

    Losing fuel?

    Any fuel getting into the oil pan? If not I would question the accuracy of the fuel gauge.
