    Speedometer doesn't work at all. Where to start?

    Close. I still had to replace the speedometer cable, because it was all wound up and snapped off at the transmission end, but it was only like $20 for a good one from NAPA Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

    Listen, The question I had has been answered. If you want to stick around in here and grab ass with your buddies, I guess nobody is going to stop you, but as for me... I'm out

    How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

    This is not how I introduced myself to the forum. I made an introductory post when I first joined. Thanks for playing though!

    How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

    Again, because the HEI in the '69 is aftermarket. The one in the 1980 is factory. Keep up.

    How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

    My '69 was upgraded to an aftermarket HEI at some point. From those that were helpful on this thread, and from some additional research, I have determined my 1980 has a factory HEI. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

    Asking questions, and making sure I'm getting something right so I don't cause damage doesn't make me slow. Intelligent people ask questions and aren't afraid to learn. Insecure idiots do the opposite of that, or try to belittle those that are asking questions. Get a life and move on from my...

    I don't think you're like that, or you wouldn't have taken the time to give a helpful response. These other jokers can kiss my ass. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Again, quit being a dick. Prior to asking this question, I did "Google", and it appears GM started offering HEI at some point. I wasn't sure if a stock GM HEI looks different from an aftermarket HRI. Mmmmmm k? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Quit being a dick. My '69 has HEI. I wasn't sure on the 1980. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Yeah, thanks pal. I did that first, but would like more of an explanation than I was finding, similar to what the guy above you provided Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

    I have a crate 350 motor in my 1980 GMC K2500 4X4. I'm going to swap out my spark plugs and spark plug wires. My cap says Delco Remy. Is that just a traditional cap, or does it have HEI? I need to know so I know what to set my plug gap at. If I don't have HEI, should I fuss with upgrading...

    I bought some brand new headlight bezels and radiator molding. What total garbage!

    Got started on my garage wall art, which is all this junk is good for. I made a 2x4 mount, and then screwed the plastic inner grille to it and made some holes in the bezels to run screws through to the mount. I used some plastic cement puddy to attach the upper and lower moldings. Next I need...

    I bought some brand new headlight bezels and radiator molding. What total garbage!

    I used the original factory parts. I shined them up and repainted the inner black surrounds. The inner grille is billet, and of course aftermarket, but it's actually better quality than the original plastic the truck came with Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    I bought some brand new headlight bezels and radiator molding. What total garbage!

    Definitely. And to make matters worse, I boxed up the stuff to return it and went to the post office. They wanted $120 to ship it, and that was their cheapest option. UPS wanted almost $80. Once you figure in the shipping I already paid to get the stuff here, return shipping, and then a 20%...

    Proper spark plug gap?

    I would agree. If an engine doesn't care about the spark plug gap, it must be running really poorly in other areas. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Proper spark plug gap?

    1980 350 V8. Standard plugs, cap and rotor. What should I set them to? Sent from my SM-T720 using Tapatalk

    Decided to put in a new thermostat, and got a surprise.

    I bought my truck a couple weeks ago, so I figured I would put in a new thermostat and gasket as preventive maintenance, and drain and flush the coolant. You can imagine my surprise when I discovered no thermostat was installed! Let's just say my heater gets hotter now, and in general the truck...

    Non AC truck. Should the dial slide all the way to cool?

    I loosened the bolt, moved the lever all the way to the left and held it there while tightening it down. The lever moves past half way now, but only 3/4 of the way Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Steering stabilizer. How the hell do I get the old one off?

    I went and bought every tool recommended, but the only thing that did the trick was this little beast. When it popped, it was so loud, I thought the tool had broken, but it was just the stabilizer finally breaking loose Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
