    Best brand of fuel pump and sending unit

    Maybe so, but I lived near a plant in Kokomo Indiana. We all called it fI. When I worked at the shop too, we called it fI. Its all Ive ever heard it called. But where American, you know we bastardised it. Ha.

    Best brand of fuel pump and sending unit

    Speaking of, got any idea one the difference between a delphi and delco pump? Autozone had both and two different prices and I was scratching my head. And I pronouned Del-FI about 6 times and he kept saying del-fee.... errrrr. He even has an 85 squarebody (that I have never seen) and forgets me...

    O-ring for yoke

    Or... instead of a wine cork table, you could make a cork gasket table... We make a block table and then make a table top using clear resin and cork gaskets. I dont think our house decorating show is going to make it on HGTV. :)

    what brand of fuel do you run in your square?

    QuickTrip 87 octane. Never had a problem with it in any vehicles. I ran the 93 stuff in my trans am and the speed3 without an issue. The trans am bone stock engine, I ran a 12.6 on racetrack fuel. Its a tier 1 fuel. I dont know what tier walmart or murphy is.

    Headlight Upgrade

    Do this. Im going to get gmachinz wiring when Im ready. Then find a sealed beam conversion. I would find one that uses 9006 bulbs. There is a post on this forum about very slightly modifying the socket to make 9012 bulbs fit. This makes you DOT legal. I have 9012 bi-halogen lights in my 2014...

    https://www.gmtransmissionparts.com/oil-pan-gasket-700r4-4l60e-1983-up-farpak/ this? How much is a shitty cork one??? Cant be that much cheaper? Why not just pick up the $7 gasket?

    Yeah, he doesnt have a website... We had a discussion on this and he feels like that he doesnt need a landing page and that his square page is good enough... beats me man, I told him being in the industry, I thought that he was wrong and that google analytics didnt work that way. Yeah, it was a...

    O-ring for yoke

    Oh I like rubber gaskets. Yeah, I know this is old and that the PO and PPO were dumb. I just need to get it reliable and save up for my LSx swap.

    Old truck...Nitrogen Strut hood props...

    Depends. Merceces Benz has been using hood struts for 20 years now. Most of their cars on a single strut. As long as its big enough to hold the weight up, they should hold for a bit (at least 5 years). I have been looking into something like this or reverse hinges. Thanks for the write up!

    Anyone know what this is?

    I know things change from year to year, but I just looked at mine and it says "G01-Rear Axle - Standard". I dont know if that means anything to yall. They probably didnt put it on back then if it were a "standard" whatever that means.

    Taking the plunge! 1985 C10 long bed L96 6.0 6L90e swap

    If so, it should be pretty easy. I know, through my cousin, the guy that owns Tejas SteelWorks, and he has a write up on how to LSx swap. Also he makes parts like engine mount relocation brackets so it just drops in. https://squareup.com/market/tejassteelworks You'll find the write up on his...

    mileage question

    Thanks y'all. Im going to replace my fuel pump tonight (as when it get hot, it airates and that could be that stupid plastic clear filter too, but all I see are bubbles and the try dying). I have the idle down to 700-800 ish, so next Im checking the secondary plates as I bog when they should be...

    e320 wagon

    Those 210 chassis are tanks. Rear window regulators are shite, but they take like 25 minutes if you have a drill and rivet gun. Front ball joints. Thats about it. Should last for years. Id love to have an E55 in that chassis or an E 430 sport 4-matic. Hell, I have a transmission dipstick, and...

    O-ring for yoke

    I just remember thinking, there is fluid coming off of the yoke... now it could have been that output seal was worn like throwing a hotdog down a hallway and I corrected everything wrong. We will see and I will let you all know. :)

    And it is the correct q-jet for the year. I went off of model number and it is non-ccc and has an electric choke.

    mileage question

    Yep yep. Just put on a new dist and its set at 10 degrees. New wires, new plugs, new air filter. This is a rebuilt carb and reeks like its rich. But like I said, its got tamp stuff on the idle screws and something on the top too. So I figure it just needs to be tuned. Ive done the idle speeds...

    mileage question

    Yeah, but I cant even do that b/c I would be in my secondaries that bog down the engine. I'll adjust those next. Still. I think this 700r4 is trash. I mean, it hits all the gears but doesnt lock up. at 65 Im doing 1800 ish rpms. Well... 285/45r22 is a 32.1 inch tall tire, at 65 mph, and assuming...
