Draining a steering gear box
I've never seen a drain plug on a GM steering gear. Drain pan beneath, disconnect hoses, cycle steering full travel each direction several times. Not sure of your goal, but you could flush it by unhook 1 line and introduce new fluid in the other port and cycle steering as well.- Poppy 87

Do not know him yet as I've only been here full time since late July. Small town probably meet him eventually. I am just next to Roebling Road Raceway- Poppy 87

2000 camaro ss
That car has a blower motor resistor. I would check that first. Disconnect the resistor, and check A, B, and D with a test lamp hooked to ground. If it lights up, bad resistor. Good luck- Poppy 87

What new tools have you got lately?
Beside the snap ring pliers and all the basic stuff you probably already have DO NOT forget the thin wall 3/8 twelve point socket to get the center support bolt out on the TH400!! -

hard crank (broken starter?) issues
Erick, hope that is all correct with your truck, but I doubt timing caused broken starter housing. Need to correct root cause of failure. Agree with starter brace concern. Good luck- Poppy 87

'97 350 Lt1 putting in an '87 gmc
You will need a longer throttle cable as well as trans detent cable. You will also want a fuel filter that will support the higher pressure, no biggie. Headers may be iffy as the LT1 has D shaped exhaust ports, might have to change exhaust flange not positive though. Good luck- Poppy 87

What have you done to your square lately??
Removed the 3 engines, 2 engine stands, and 4 tires from the truck bed and put into the garage. Took Ole Bessie out on a beer run! Holy glazed brakes, she hasn't been driven other than loading onto the trailer when we moved. Damn near wrecked. Washed the windshield at the gas station so I can... -

Pull that piston and measure depth of damage. Perhaps a re-bore or sleeve will be required -

Keep Frying HEI Coils PLEASE HELP!
Perhaps using an analog meter, but a typical dvom when measure resistance will indicate : Ol=open circuit, .2,1,etc=continuity in ohms, or 0=short circuit. At which point you can determine if short to power or ground or internal fault Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk- Poppy 87

Keep Frying HEI Coils PLEASE HELP!
Slow down, do you realize Zero ohm indicate short? If you are measuring continuity there will be some measure of resistance. I don't like throwing parts at a concern, but make sure you understand what you are reading during diagnosis. Good luck- Poppy 87
