    Engine starts ok, but immediately stops:

    The carb was rebuilt by me in Jan 09, then run briefly on a 350--- carb ran ok. The carb has been sitting on the shelf since then to about 3 weeks ago. The idle screws are not all the way in---checked that a few days ago. All the vacuum ports that i know of are plugged. How to check if...

    Engine starts ok, but immediately stops:

    UPDATE: i was able to keep the engine running by repeatedly pumping the throttle. Engine did not run smoothly, of course. But it did continue to run. What would this tend to indicate?

    Engine starts ok, but immediately stops:

    Not sure i want to do this due to safety reasons. Also, i can't hook up a remote starter properly(not enough space) and i don't have a helper. But the bowl is full because each time it stalls i can see fuel squirting in when i move the accelerator arm.

    No, i don't think so?

    Thanks for the help----hopefully the lack of fuel was the problem.

    Engine starts ok, but immediately stops:

    Ok, i got it solved (i think/hope?)----there wasn't enough fuel in the bowl. So this time, i am filled it up all the way thru the vent hole. It ran much longer this time. It did cut out after say 3-5 secs but i think this is due to the fact that this is the first time it has really run since...

    Engine starts ok, but immediately shuts off:

    As you might know i'm almost done with a 305 to 4.3 swap. What's happening now is that the engine will start, but it immediately shuts off after you release the key from the start position The only thing i did was to bypass the ESC function on the distributor (All carbed 4.3's in trucks...

    Engine starts ok, but immediately stops:

    The thing is i have an underhood starter hooked up, so i put the key in the run position before cranking. Now a few days ago i WAS using only the key and yes it seemed to only run in the start position. But really it stalls out so fast it's almost like i don't even have time to release the...

    Next Crisis: As you may know, i've swapped a 4.3 in where a 305 was. Anyways i can get it to start up pretty easy, but it immediately stalls out---like after only a split second to 1 second. i'm leaning/hoping maybe the timing is too retarded; When i was messing around with the...

    No spark and no tach signal

    Latest Crisis: i've finally gotten around to starting the "new" engine. i'm not getting any spark---verified thru in-line spark tester and no rpm reading on the tach. NOTES: This HEI/ESC distributor came with and stayed with the "new" engine---so it's in the correct position etc. The...

    Power steering belt part #'s ?

    UPDATE: Ok, i got Dayco 15445 (Gates equivalent 7445) to work. i'm not saying these are the correct part# because both Dayco and Gates catalogs both list a different belt, but these do work.

    Power steering belt part #'s ?

    The engine is an 86 4.3 v-6 BUT i'm using the original P/S pump to the truck which is an 83. So the pulleys on the engine are the 86 vortech-ish setup with the ribbed belt for alternator. But i compared pulleys from my 305 that i replaced and pulleys look the same diameter as the 86.

    Power steering belt part #'s ?

    Would anyone happen to know a part# of the belt that runs around the crank, water pump and P/S pulley ONLY? This is for like 76ish to 87ish stock setups. The power steering pump pulley DOES have 2 groves in this case. Gates, dayco, Advance etc. do provide part #'s but they don't have...

    Power steering bracket help:

    Next crisis: You know the stud that screws into the head so that the P/S pump can pivot on? Where can i find one of these? Yes, i've misplaced mine. Here is a pic to clarify:

    Power steering bracket help:

    Ok, i've forgotten to take pictures or make a drawing. Could you post/walk me thru a step-by-step for re-assembling the power steering brackets? This is for gen 1 small block---circa 76ish to 87 ish on the lower driver's side. i have all the parts and actually this is for a 4.3 v-6, but...

    262 to 350 crate: help

    The engine i have now originally came out of a 86 c-10 that is/was being parted out. i'm pretty sure you can interchange mounts with v-8 small blocks, i'm just speculating that the factory reversed them on 6's due to vibration differences between the two engines. The 6 kinda shakes...

    Post your experiences buying auto parts from summit racing and other places

    Let me clarify what i'm saying about Summitt (and probably Jeg's) house brands. Both Summitt and Jeg's carry high quality name brand stuff. They both also carry cheaper house branded stuff which i'm not real confident with. i didn't have great results with the budget summitt house brand...

    262 to 350 crate: help

    i would like to think that mounts can interchange, but for some reason from the factory they are reversed: v-8 has the clamshell bolted to engine and rubber mount bolted to frame. v-6 has the rubber mount bolted to engine and clamshell bolted to frame. My only guess is they did it for...

    262 to 350 crate: help

    The fuel pump for v-6's are upside down and as such don't have the vent hole on top. Also the pump to carb line will be different than an 8. Now, a v-8 pump could probably be used and vice versa if you have the space for it. But check the pushrod lengths. they might also be different...
