    Still Super Sloppy Steering

    Sorry, late getting back to the party. I only mentioned the column because everything else had been covered. The tilt columns have a universal joint that can go bad. Rare, but it happens. Usually impact related but sometimes just a failure. Carry on...

    86 GMC k1500 w/350 crate swap, horrible rev response and no power in gear.

    Just an additional thought, If the vehicle sat for more than a month with gas in it while you did the engine swap, burn all the fuel out and then a tank or so before advancing the timing. That old gas will make it ping even when everything is set-up correctly. After my tranny change and new...

    Tool truck franchises

    The time investment is more important than the financial and both are stressful. 9-5 just won't cut it at the BYOB game. My Favorite Snap-on guy was an ex-USDA inspector and had heard and seen everything. He made deals that were fair and never balked at a warranty. He never bothered a tech in...

    What did you replace factory radio with?

    Mine has some hellmart removeable faceplate abortion gerry rigged into the radio hole. There was a Creed cd stuck in it. I may use that space for a cb and go with a docking station for my phone. Spotify and my saved music is enough usually but there are radio apps that do not use data. BTW...

    Camaro 700R4 Swap

    My 87 GTA has the digital dash so it uses the electro speedo parts. Save the gears and note the color. Your mechanical parts are needed for us fbody guys that do the electro to cable conversion.

    Need better fuel mileage

    My fuel mileage is usually about 2 hours, and then I need to refuel. But....since I am an old fatty, no biscuits and gravy for me. Egg whites and prunes gasses me up!

    What about the speedo gear? Same style and tooth count?

    SBC 350 with new cam will not start, only pops a couple times then nothing.

    It wasnt wrong just odd. I have a similar pic with #1 up front in one of the manuals.

    Camaro 700R4 Swap

    Does your truck use the case location for the mount or the one on the tailhousing?

    SBC 350 with new cam will not start, only pops a couple times then nothing.

    Slow down people. Dot to dot is correct for installing the new gears. Both dots up at 12 o'clock is correct for #1 tdc. Be careful of illustrations because they are not always accurate for many reasons. The pic HK shared shows the connector for the hei aligned towards the passenger side if you...

    throttle spacer, air gap, or...

    Key terms being plenum, divided plenum, not air gap. Weiand makes or made a single plane with a removeable plenum divider. We would trim the divider based on max rpm and throttle response. Somewhere online is a great article about tbi (all variations) not requiring the vacuum signal produced...

    stock wheels?

    I had to grab pics of van wheels just to get the ones for the small cap. OP could always source some Astro van wheels and caps cheap at the pick&pull

    stock wheels?

    I have always assumed the 20/30 or 2500/3500 caps didn't fit on the 1/2 ton wheels. The diameter looks vastly different where the four "nubs" are that hold the cap on.
