What new tools have you got lately?
My last HF Blue 1/4" x 10mm Deep socket, fell to the bottom of the scrap yard dump truck, while selecting a 96' Crossfire 5.7L Roller Block core. Butter Fingers... I could see that sucker all the way down under three 1 ton rear ends, 2 engine blocks and a washing machine... and could not reach...- RanchWelder

Oil Pressure Guage Mystery
When my block was out I used a 1/8" NPT adapter with two 1/8" NPT ports so I could attach the Oil Pressure Switch, for fuel pump relay protection and a plastic hose fitting for the manual pressure gauge on my dash. The manual gauge uses a small tubing to the gauge to constantly monitor pressure...- RanchWelder

Voltage Drop
Can't tell you how many times I have cut opened a moulded ground lug and exposed all kinds of green powder secretly hiding underneath the black cable covering... corroding all the wires from contacting each other... For $13.00 consider a new heavier gauge ground wire, just to be safe... If yours...- RanchWelder

Bought a kid that isn't mine a 1976 Nova...
The rust on the rear quarters is indicative of the trunk metal thinning or rotting out entirely on these models. When the rot consumes the rear end, the spring perches and rear stamped frame make the entire vehicle worthless... There is no way to reinforce the back perches, once they start to...- RanchWelder

Voltage Drop
Word to the wise... everything these guys asked you to check and verify could now be partially damaged, as a result of the broken wire you found... especially your ground wires having gasses and corrosion being generated. When your system undergoes stress from poor grounds, it can empty/dry out...- RanchWelder

K20/K30 bolt patterns
Should have made myself clearer... My K5 has 15" 6x5.5... I picked up a set of 16" Boyd wheels so I could run 16" @ 10 ply tires, because the roads here and the quality of the recent 6 ply's have been for ****. When I tried to mount the newer16" @ 6x5.5 which are 14mm holes, the acorn's for the...- RanchWelder

How can I shield these electrical connections?
Yes, and if you added a layer of rubber under the blocks, and under the aluminum case, you would be triple insulated... from electrical short. ***Very good example of my post... when neatness counts. There is big money in scaring you to think you need to buy a new harness... It makes it so the...- RanchWelder

We used to say, amongst professionals: Oxygenated copper is only for the guys who carry a microphone purse... as their wallet. (The $5000.00 Neumann Mic Cóuture Handbag... when you have to be the rage at the party...) Resist the urge to use the stuff. It's over rated unless you build...- RanchWelder

Big Block Bearing inspection...
Wow... that's cool. Looks 1/4" NPT in either location... I may have the fittings to make it work. Not having a ride to run down to the parts store is going to make this interesting for certain. I can use the fittings from my new transmission test system, if it's dead anyways, so that's what...- RanchWelder

I'm not certain Buck69... All I know is the gentleman gave me the impression 2 years ago, it had an 8.1L... and a bad pump diagnosis... asked me if I could fix it. Because the 2 repair shops here in town get kinda weird if I help someone out, it turns into: "He's taking a customer from us", so...- RanchWelder

Leaf spring bushing destroyed. What would cause this?
Your picture shows a slight difference in spacing at your U-Bolts, one side has a gap and the other does not... at the spring perch on your axle tube. Your spring pack looks like it's under load and slipping sideways... Notice how the bottom leaves are sliding off to the left? You stack might...- RanchWelder
