    Backing plates

    Sorry my bad…. :oops: I’m stupid and was thinking of the diff cover.

    Backing plates

    Nope I don’t think they are. I believe one cover is a little deeper than the other. (Full floating being the deeper of the two) The ring gears are a different size. Semi is 9.5 FF is 10.5 Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe this is the way it goes.

    HELP! My truck won’t start!

    That’s also another “weird” thing that’s going on. I knew the no. 6 was the companion with no. 1 but it just runs like a top when timed with no. 4 so I go with that one. I’ve had that bad feeling in the back of my mind about the balancer being slipped. Is this an easy fix?

    HELP! My truck won’t start!

    Right now I have the rotor pointing at the no. 8 cylinder and have the no. 1 plug wire in that position. My problem is that I’m still 180 out and having to time it off of the no. 4 spark plug wire. Why am I 180 out when the rotor points at the no. 1 plug wire at TDC compression AND when it’s at...

    Found out my ‘82 c20 has a 1970 350. I love surprises!

    HELP! My truck won’t start!

    I though I’d give y’all an update. I had the no. 1 spark plug in the wrong place and so obviously every other one was out of place making it not run. My problem is that I’m still 180 out even with the rotor in the right place. I’ve doubled checked everything and it’s all correct. I’ve just...

    Engine lag

    When I first put my engine together I misplaced a few vacuum lines and had quite a few leaks. My engine was doing exactly what you’re describing… shake, loss of power. Another possibility for loss of power when you get into the throttle is you could be running a too rich fuel/air mixture. You...

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    If I’m thinking straight, they claim it lasts 12,000 miles…. :whymewhyme:

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    How slow was it? It’s not a problem for me to wait a minute or two more when filling oil but just wondering.

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    That’s what new car manufacturers claim on their cars. I was using it as a joke because it’s SO unreal. Rebuilding engines is something I enjoy though! Still would never let any engine get past 3,000 without an oil change just to have an excuse to rebuild it.

    Finally got a new mig welder

    Yup, that’s one of the main reasons I don’t have one yet. I want to get a nice one. Thanks for the advice

    What’s the best polish for the bumpers and mirrors

    Try window cleaner. Seems to work ok

    Bare Hands

    Honestly, I’ve never worn a pair when working on vehicles. I understand their purpose but hate to have them on my hands. I’m training to be a diesel mechanic and even they don’t require them. Maybe it’s a good thing and should start protecting my hands while I’m young but they make it harder to...

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    I’m not trying to plug the hole with anything that’s not supposed to be there. just wondering if I can fill oil through them. I’ll be putting a PCV valve in one and a breather in the other and was going to just pull one of those out every time I change the oil to fill through it. I take both out...

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    Thanks guys! I guess I’ll just have to wait a minute or two longer when filling up with oil. Good thing it only gets changed every 10,000 miles anyway…. ;)

    Can I use this hole for filling oil?

    Thank you for the reply. Mine have baffles underneath. Would it hurt anything if I cut one side out? Seeing how the more expensive ones don’t have them this shouldn’t be an issue?
