    WTB Shifter *** Thread Temporarily Reopened for SquareRoot *** Shifter Aquired.

    Cool. The Gold Standard of Shifters. Have to ask Lokar what I'd need to extend the linkage for the 4L80E vs the 700R4. See they cross over (in theory), and they ask you to order with the transmission code included in the order. Some of the parts kits do not include the 4L80E and they do...

    Keep getting bad alternators??? On #4

    Hang in there. We've all been down the same road here. Grab a note pad and document each circuit you test and the results, so we can address each test, as you figure it out. Take pictures as you go. Others will learn from your thread and hopefully you'll fix a bunch of issues as you move...

    WTB Shifter *** Thread Temporarily Reopened for SquareRoot *** Shifter Aquired.

    SquareRoot, How's the Lokar with slipping out of gear on a trail? That unit is linkage or cable drive? I'm concerned the long handle floor Lokar without a lock-out would slip into nuetral or god forbid reverse, with the dirt roads here. This country is very rocky and the ditches are bad on the...

    350 vortec 5.7 lower intake leaking vacuum?? Help please

    Good to know the Accell coil works too. $50 to fail gets old quick. I've never had to change an egr, but sometimes the seasonal fuel additives can cause a lot of carbon to build up and they require cleaning more often. If you have not thoroughly cleaned your distributor shaft assembly, it can...

    350 vortec 5.7 lower intake leaking vacuum?? Help please

    Bought an "Advertised High power coil" from a top hotrod supplier thinking it was an upgrade. Err... hotter = better, right? Non ACDelco coils, were causing my trouble. Non-ACDelco Ignition Modules, same crap. Hope your coil does not screw up the Module. Mine freaked out over the non-ACDelco...

    Brake Master Cylinder, what adapters do I need to make this work? Pic's inside.

    Edited: Man do I feel dumb, I thought you were in Los Angeles, Nasty-LSX? Pardon me for insulting you, Mr. Producer! I asked the guy rebuilding the white and green pickup for the part number on the proportioning valve. Hope you'll pardon me for the mix up!

    Proportioning valve for 13" Brakes: 14-Bolt swap

    Swapping my 10 bolt for 14 bolt FF rear axle. My master cylinder and rear brakes are 1/4". Anyone with enough spare 3/16" tubing, larger style compression nuts and/or a known good working proportioning valve, please pm or email me? The compression valve is my main priority. We have no bone...

    Brake Master Cylinder, what adapters do I need to make this work? Pic's inside.

    You kinda need to be careful with the diamter of the hydraulic shaft in the center of the master cylinder. The all cast iron unit looks like it might be 1-1/8" main shaft, which has a completely different pulse rate or compression to the system than the stock 1" shaft the aluminum housing unit...

    3 inch rake after tuff country 4 inch lift.

    How's the drive shaft slip yoke compare? Before vs after? Relatively centered at rest empty or biased towards slipping off the shaft? How about drive line angle? My concern and possible consideration for your situation, is if the perches on the springs you installed, require additional perch...

    I need a good 84/87 steering column.

    I had issues with the bearings not seating correctly when I rebuilt mine. Take it apart and make certain you have not compressed the spring, without making darn certain the bearing races are still exactly in the correct assembled spots. Do Not drive it until you re-set the bearings and compress...

    WTB Shifter *** Thread Temporarily Reopened for SquareRoot *** Shifter Aquired.

    I'm swapping a 4L80E and could use a notched shifter, so it doesn't slip out of gear on dirt raods. Doesn't have to be show quality, just function without major rebuild or fitment issues. I'm planning on installing the Sonnax late model short shaft, which will allow for the shift cable to mate...

    99' K2500 Steering Column in 87' Blazer?

    Not so much concerned with the wiring aspect. Got pig tails for the 99' wheel/harness. Most likely upgrade the anemic wiper system in the 87' to the newer style, with the intermittent in the motor housing. So not concerned with wiper wiring in the swap. No cruise in the Blazer, no worries...

    Fuel Line Repair at TBI

    Click on my logo and search for WarHawk in the search or my posts. The fuel line repair thread there is where to start. It's "impossible" to snake the lines in without completely removing the TBI or bending the lines, in my experiance. You would be best served to pull the TBI and Distributor...

    No Flashers

    The switch? Push button getting dirt and grime it ot and failing to release? The LED's have to be capable of flashing nd they have to be inserted the correct way. Try flipping them in the sockets, one at a time?

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    mtbadbob, My Olds was exactly the same. Wheels, blue paint, white stripes 442 logo. It had 300K on it, when I drove it to the bone yard with a rusted out trunk from all the beach sand. It was near mint, when I bought it for $2600.00.

    Killer looking front and rear bumpers for my K20. Anyone seen these?

    You guys without the in-town Deer, herds of Elk and cattle on the highway, are spoiled. If you don't run a Cow Catcher out here where I live, your front end goes through your engine. "Over-Kill is under rated!" Those are really nice, if you can run them. Light, strong and clean body lines...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Yah that's the better tool. The iWiss long handle crimper does not handle the geometry properly for really clean crimps. If the ferrules are not sized for the wire correctly, such as stainless ferrules, vs aluminum ferrules, vs copper ferrules, the diameter of the crimp might need to be...

    Fuel Hose OK ?

    These style, (not necessarily endorsing this brand rings), is what I use and recommend for TBI, however the investment on a carb'ed fuel system is very much worth it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCYLCCXL/ $19.99 These are SAE sizes for PEX, which has a standardized wall thickness. These are...

    Fuel Hose OK ?

    Yah, 2 or MORE, like you posted might be OK and is definitely the cheapest rout. (I just don't trust or recommend them anymore). On my lawnmower, instead of a wire ring or a hardened metal split ring, guess a person might bend the rule if out of stainless crimp rings? The iWiss ring Pex...

    Fuel Hose OK ?

    Buck69 the TBI block with a carb runs at 7 psi. You can use regular fuel line with abrasion resistance and make it work. Double layers of heat protection or flex fiber casing and a thermal shield over good quality hose is way cheaper than quality race track grade braided lines. But they look...
