Battery negative ground question..... again, sorry !
I have tried to look through posts on this but didn't find a good answer. I know the negative battery cable "should" be grounded at the alternator bracket. But.... now I have this nice Blueprint engine with the serpentine set up. It has really nice powder coated brackets. I don't see a place to...- PeteJr

HA ! Welcome from of all places........... Olive Branch. There's a "cruise -in" at Snowden Grove on Getwell Rd every Thursday night, if you run out of things to do. It's in the parking lot of the Planter's Bank by the bridge over Getwell. Always a few trucks there.- PeteJr

Anyone have a CVF power steering pump? What pressure hose to use?
Thanks, Greg. I'll check that out ! FYI........ I removed the port fitting on the CVF pump and was able to use the one from my old PS pump. This let me use the original type pressure hose, O-ring type, on the new pump. (Just be warned about the spring inside and don't let the guts of either...- PeteJr

Anyone have a CVF power steering pump? What pressure hose to use?
I have the Blueprint 350 engine that came with the CVF power steering pump. Of course, I have a new "stock" pressure hose that isn't close to mating up with the port on the pump. Anyone already figured this out as to what hose to use. CVF gives a parts list and has a kit to build a braided line...- PeteJr

Southeastern Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals - Lebanon, TN July 7 & 8
They said there was 1,692 trucks registered for the show. Not too shabby. It was hot but no rain for a change. (I jinxed myself on that statement........ Stormed and rained for about 230 of the 270 miles home today) -
Southeastern Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals - Lebanon, TN July 7 & 8
Heading up to Lebanon (just east of Nashville), TN tomorrow for this show. It's a Friday/Saturday event at the Wilson County Fairgrounds right off the north side of I-40. Last year there were 1,750 trucks. Last week, there were 1,600+ entered for this year already. Great event, lots of vendors... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I used NAPA parts for a long time. Usually great parts, but a little more $$. Lately, their stuff is not as good and still pricey. (The local NAPA has only one guy who has a clue about anything. Of course he's always off when I go there) Got frustrated at them for the new/rebuilt front calipers... -

Drop a tool when you're in a bind and it will roll to "Dead Center" of the floor under the truck. -

What is this connector? - SOLVED
I think you are correct, Joe. I have an '83 GMC also, but mine was converted in the past from a 3 wire like yours to a 2 wire compressor. It also has a toggle switch on the dash to cut the compressor on. Always something to fix, right?
