    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    No, it does not stay in contact with the lobe. When the engine is running, it made a constant tick-tick-tick sound from the clearance it developed. Tried 4 mechanical pumps, all new or gently used, and it made the same noise each time. I can't see the pump rod being worn, as it's hardened steel...

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    1). I live on a small disability check and there is NO money for that kind of purchase, and I need that truck running properly NOW. 2). My friend had a REALLY bad experience with a Summit cam, had to return it for a refund because it wasn't hardened and wiped out in less than 15 minutes run...

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    Only if somebody will buy me a cam and lifter set. The cam lobe that runs the pump is worn badly and makes way too much noise. Or, if somebody can tell me an easy way to measure the amount of wear on the cam lobe, I can build up some weld on a fuel pump rod to make up that difference.

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    Glad you were able to solve your vapor lock issues. Since I really don't have the option of a mechanical pump, I have to hope the fuel filter with a return line to the tank solenoid will do the trick. It was delivered today and i will go in and pick it up tomorrow, and install it when I get...

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    Truck did not have heat shields, and I don't see any holes in the frame to bolt any in ..... so i go without.

    Fuseblock failure - What can go bad to cause it?

    I need to separate the firewall connector from the fuse block, and verify that power is making it through the connector. Then I can inspect the fuse block under the dash for anything that went awry.

    Small block and starters

    I REALLY want to have that truck here, when the roads have deep mud from bad storms, I can get out and in when nobody else will be able to, I can charge the idiots good money to pull them out when they get stuck, and having 10 wheels driving, I can screw up the roads so badly that nothing but my...

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    The truck has two lines, supply and return. 3 lines on the pump (if it had a mechanical pump) in, out to carb, and return. The vent would go to the charcoal cannister if it had one.

    Small block and starters

    It has a 12 ft bed on it. I personally drove it back in the 80's with SIX cords of fresh cut wet,green Mesquite on the truck through a sandwash and it never got stuck, it just kept going. Has a 235 six in it.

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    I never blocked the return line since the electric pump was all I needed (so I thought) to pump gas to the carb.

    Small block and starters

    You're very welcome, but don't tell anybody that I had a lucid moment. As for being in the wrong forum, just wait until I go pick up a truck a friend has wanted to give me for 30 years, a 1942 GMC 6x6 10 wheel drive 2 and a half tom flatbed .....

    I had a brainfart !! I completely forgot about the 265 in my list. Thanks for jogging the dust covered brain cell.

    I have run a few sixes many decades ago, and I seem to recall they used the three bolt to the bellhousing starter. Just for giggles, do a parts search for a 250 starter from the mid sixties, see what they show.

    Small block and starters

    My memory may be wrong, but that sounds like the 230/250/292 I-6 bellhousing. And as for block to bellhousing pattern, I believe the 235 (OLD school) was different, but the 230,250,292,283,302,305,307,327,350,400 and all the big blocks were the same pattern.

    Me too, I depend on that truck since the 84 K10 needs to get put down for a bit so I can refresh the engine.

    Any such thing as a good Service Manual?

    And when you get to be my age, and all those tidbits of automotive information once stored in the brane start to leak out and dissipate into the ozone, the good shop manual is priceless.

    Any such thing as a good Service Manual?

    That's about the going price, and given the amount of info contained within its pages, a good deal !!!!!

    Any such thing as a good Service Manual?

    Just go with the philosophy "There's only one way it can go together and work right" and 90% of the time, it'll be good enough.

    Any such thing as a good Service Manual?

    I hate Haynes manuals, they try to speak English, but they use funny words that nobody knows the meaning of ..... For me, factory shop manual is the ONLY way to go. Plus, the factory manual covers things that no other manual will, and often (as is my case) it even has the wiring diagrams.

    Check fleabay for the original factory shop manuals, that's where I found mine.

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    Dammit, I ordered the wrong filter, (33040) so I guess I get to tighten the shit out of the hose clamps and pray it doesn't leak. The 33041 with 3/8 fittings in and out has the return line sticking out of the filter housing about halfway down the shell of the filter and it looks like the filter...

    Fuseblock failure - What can go bad to cause it?

    Dead circuits are parking and tail llights, dash lights, cig lighter, dome/courtesy lights, and several terminals on the fuseblock where accessories can be fed power from.

    Fuseblock failure - What can go bad to cause it?

    I tested the underhood wires for power, the fusible links are good and power is getting to the firewall connector for the fuseblock. But, most of the circuits at the fuseblock under the dash have no power. What can go bad and where/how ? I have a good harness to install (and I'm sure it'll be a...

    86 K20 No electric power

    I checked my 83 C20 fusible links, and I have power all the way to the firewall connector, but most circuits on the other side are dead, I am going to pin the blame on the fuseblock under the dash ...........

    Double wall exhaust system, anybody do it ?

    It takes 45 minutes to go the first 5 miles to get to a paved road. Sometimes it's an hour, sometimes even longer when 4 wheel drive isn't enough and I have to put chains on.
