    mileage question

    Specifically if you are running an old 305, but any small block, what are you guys getting mileage wise? I just put on a rebuilt q-jet. I think I have the idle tuned. They have the mixture screws set with tamper proof stuff. The idle is down to about 700-800 area. (its hard to tell with a 2 5/8...

    O-ring for yoke

    I know for a fact that mine is full splined. It didnt leak last night. And now looking at it and sleeping on it, the output seal could have been very worn. I think I remember seeing a gap... I think. :confused: I remember putting it back together last night and thinking that the yoke to seal...

    O-ring for yoke

    Fair enough. We I'm resealing the tailshaft housing so I guess I'll know tomorrow. Sucky thing is the kit I bought isn't for a 700. I don't know it's for because the bushing and output housing seal are correct. But none of the other seals are.

    O-ring for yoke

    It's out. I posted in the rant forum but, someone was in the transmission before. It's leaking from the yoke. I bought I reseal kit for the output housing but they sent me the wrong thing. The only thing that fit was the bushing and housing output seal. But I need the o-ring that goes on the...

    What do you call the o-ring on the output shaft of the slip yoke? Is this something I can get at AZ or O'Reillys

    Need opinions: To EGR or not to EGR

    Coming from an auto tech... get rid of EGR. I completely understand why its there, but as stated: a. clogs stuff, specifically the EGR valve itself. Which leads to a ton of drivability issues. b. Why pump hot ass exhaust into a combustion chamber? c. looks cleaner.

    speedo questions

    So if my drive gear is gray (and it has to be because there isnt another close to it: gray, red, blue, yellow, brown), and if the driven gear is either 19 (dark aqua), 34 (light green), or 42 (green), then the gear ratios are: 15/19 = 0.7894736842105263 15/34 = 0.4411764705882353 15/42 =...

    Brake kits...how to navigate it all..

    Usually though, those are ceramic brakes, which are a totally different beast! Ha. I need more stickers on the truck :(

    Horn Upgrade/Suggestions

    Im going to replace mine soon and wanted something like train horns. Big ol' American steel coming through. And plus, I think we have the engine bay room to fit such a set up!

    Brake kits...how to navigate it all..

    In theory, yes. But in real world application with daily driven or weekend driven vehicles, this really isnt the case. Cross drilled and slotted help on race applications where brakes get super hot. But for every day driving you need the friction of the brake pad to rotor. This is why you never...

    Ever design exhaust for towing?

    I know, that if you move into a state that inspects, the cats must be in the factory location. And I think the only state that still inspects our old ass trucks is California. Ever other state that I know of has a limit on how far back they inspect for smog. I could be super wrong, this is only...

    New Tires

    If you ever what a real world look at tire width and that it really doesnt matter what the tire says, go look at Nitto Drag Radials. Their 275 is just as wide as a 315. Beats me on why its that way and it doesnt make sense. Just know that because they say its a width, doesnt actually mean its...

    Ever design exhaust for towing?

    I'm going to jump right here. First, bigger is less torque. You loose all low end and gain high end hp, its not worth going too big. If I understand: 2.5 from header, to 3 inch y pipe, 3 inch cat, two 2.5 inch muffler to tail pipes My question is why y-pipe? With these sizes, you dont have...
