    TH-350 vs. TH-350C filters:

    Is the trans filter for a TH-350C different from a regular TH-350? i thought the 350C has a notch cut out of it vs. a regular 350 which is square. However, the AC Delco site lists the same filter as compatible with both transmissionses. i don't want to drop the pan unless i'm sure i have the...

    Engine swap questions

    To me it boils down to how much time you got? i think you should, depending on how much time you got, experience/knowledge, and budget, go with whatever engine you like the most. But to answer the question, and if i were going to do some occasional towing, which i'm not, but to answer the...

    ive never rebuilt, is this rebuildable?

    i had a wild thought: We should all rebuild the engine----you have a "good" block, i have a good 350 crank, your pistons are rods are good, i assume. i have a good 962 cam, although i've mixed up the lifters, but we should probably go with a roller anyways. My iron heads can be refurbished...

    ive never rebuilt, is this rebuildable?

    i guess what i was trying to get at is advertise it as a rebuildable core 350, or see if a machine shop would buy it?

    Ever design exhaust for towing?

    To confuse the issue further, read: https://www.castheads.com/manifolds-carb/exhaust-manifolds/2-into-1-exhaust-collector-systems/ Now, to answer the question directly, yes, i think both the 350 and 454 will be fine with the 2.5 into Y, then 3 cat, then split back into two 2.5 pipes. i don't...

    ive never rebuilt, is this rebuildable?

    So what is core value for a 350 block? $75? All my used blocks are sitting in my garage, because i can't bear to part with them. Even though one is not practically rebuildable with a cracked cylinder wall....

    Bright headlights?

    Wasn't trying to be sarcastic; It's true--in my own case i can see so much better without even touching the lights. Although i do plan on switching to LED's asap.

    Bright headlights?

    If i could add a side note, while not taking away from the tremendous benefit of upgrading headlights: If you clean the INSIDE of the windshield, (as well as the outside) you might be surprised at how much better you can see at night.

    ive never rebuilt, is this rebuildable?

    i think if the damage is that low on the cylinder wall it can be saved. But it would probably be cheaper/easier to just get a crate 350 than to rebuild irregardless?

    RE: Changing trans fluid:

    TH-350C In changing the transmission fluid: a) What solvent should i use to clean the inside of the pan? b) What's the best type of pan gasket to use? Cork? Rubber? etc? c) Best brands of filter, fluid, gaskets etc?

    "generator" light stays on while engine is running....

    1) Ok i got it tested at Pepboys. i watched her hook it all up, so really i don't think there's anyway to screw it up. i don't really understand the results other than that the alternator is toast: Lamp/diode trio FAILED Regulator test FAILED Rectifier test...

    "generator" light stays on while engine is running....

    UPDATE for saturday 2/25: Ok, i test lighted both wires in the plug with the ignition on; Both wires have power, but the smaller brown wire is dimmer than the larger red wire. So, i used the voltmeter; The larger red wire has 12.4-8 ish while the smaller brown wire, 6.3-5 ish.

    "generator" light stays on while engine is running....

    No, that's ok. i really don't know much about electricity/ electrical tools. Don't fear it, just never got around to it. Although it looks like i am going to HAVE to get around to it now........

    "generator" light stays on while engine is running....

    Well first, let's backup and examine the question, "What do you get if you ground to the alternator case rather than the battery and measure the voltage at the alternator output post?" The way i understood this was, i took the red lead from the meter and touched it to the B+ terminal on the...

    "generator" light stays on while engine is running....

    My "generator" (battery) light now stays on while the engine is running. (the red warning light that has the icon of a battery, but the owner's manual calls this a "generator light") 1) this light glows at, i think, 1/2 the intensity of the other warning lights---brake, choke, oil etc. So it...

    Best alternators:

    i came up with AC delco # 321-357 https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-AC-Delco-321-357-Alternator/dp/B000QGWNOE Further research indicates that the 87's had an identical setup as an 86 and true serpentine didn't start until 88?

    Best alternators:

    Need more help: The engine is based on an 85-86 4.3 so, i have the hybrid belt setup of serpentine for the water pump and alternator, which i believe is 5 rib? And the pulleys for those are i believe 4 grove? Everything else is conventional v-belt. Everything AC Delco and Remy list for...
