    Another Spark Plug Gap Thread.... LOL

    Im a not an ignition guy or even highly knowledgeable. I do however know why large gap causes ignition components to fry. Electricity flows along its path being"pulled" towards ground. Each component needing juice "calls" for the charge. A larger gap "calls" for more juice and the larger the gap...

    Sub-woofer amplifier installation

    If they explained it they might have to tell you why. The only reason you have to do this with off the shelf amplifier is because they do not isolate the board. For just a few more dollars they can use a faraday shield/cage and completely isolate the board from interference. The introduction of...

    Sub-woofer amplifier installation

    One thing thats important note: Do not bolt or screw through both the amp mounts and mounting board as this will ground the amp to chassis through the screws. Screw the board down and then the amp to the board. Keep a few inches between the screws because a ground loop of that little resistance...

    Sub-woofer amplifier installation

    From Crutchfield Do not bolt your amplifier directly to your car's metal chassis — that's inviting noise problems, like ground loops which hum or buzz. You could use rubber grommets around the mounting screws to isolate the case. Or you could mount the amp onto a wooden board or plastic panel...

    Sub-woofer amplifier installation

    Maybe To ward off ground loop interference. Otherwise you may have a ground loop through the chassis of the amp. Not the amp frying kind but instead the weird noise that oscillates with rpm.

    CAM ADVICE

    Verdict still is not in on the XE lifters in my case. I think I have a faulty lifter and they are brand new with my xe262h. I think one of them is not "pumping up" and is "bleeding down" after sitting for a short period(1 heat cycle). Ive went through everything half a dozen times and am about...

    Comprehensive intake and new engine hookups

    Well $#it. Ive been so engrossed in this recent build ive already forgotten my last truck,lol. Its funny too cause i hooked my 700r4 to manifold vac when the motor went back in and caught it later on. Im just switching it all up.

    Comprehensive intake and new engine hookups

    Ok then that should get you going. I ran my climate control into the vac ball t'd off the intake behind the carb. The trans needs to see metered vac so run it off the carb above the baseplate(highest vac post) and t the distributor advance there as well. If you still have your old quadrabogger...

    Comprehensive intake and new engine hookups

    There will be other vac lines to hook up such as trans modulator(th350) or tcc(700r4) Also the climate control teed in there somewhere. Do you at least still have the vac ball still?

    Comprehensive intake and new engine hookups

    lets go by power of elimination. Big line on back of carb to brake booster Big line on front of carb to pcv Distributor to metered vac on carb Water lines= Intake or water pump line(out) to firewall(in) Fire wall (out) to radiator(in) What carb you running? can be more specific.

    Does anyone know what this is

    I use the white permatex on everything. I usually wait no more than an hour and fire it up if I wait at all. Never used it to try and seal a bad seal before but on new threads I just go for it. I used that stuff on the exact spot your sensor is with a plug and fired it right up.

    Does anyone know what this is

    Mine leaked like hell once it got installed on my new engine. Started a damn fire during break-in leaking on the header. It was plenty tight but leaked through the body of the sensor. My truck ran both oil sensor/sender from the factory. Im now using just the one on the back of the block.

    Dumbo mirrors

    ( DaveM already answered I just saw)Yeah those plastic inserts and self tappers look janky as hell. I have the lmc mirrors as well. Cant see the plastic holding much for too long. I already planned to use barrel nuts. I was referring to the little bracket that goes inside the door and bolts to...

    Rear driver side sag

    I had this same issue on my 86 longbed. i had the HD spring pack(7 leaf vs 3) from a previous truck sitting in the shop so I took the base spring from the hd set and it solved the issue. I am referring to the bottom-straight-ish and short thick spring that is the base for the hd springpack Also...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    I just saw a 73 longbed on marketplace for 14,500 that looks like the paint was burned off,lol. Damn thing has seen many better days and not in a long time to boot. Ratty interior,rusty AF, missing trim, no upgrades...all busted ass OE parts. BUT the air works,lol
