    Removed my entire heater system?

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/vintage-air-weekend-install.33722/post-682872 I did a Vintage Air install - lots of work but seems to be worth it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I spent this weekend taking one step forward and two steps back Diamondback cover was the wrong size so I have to get that replaced. Their mistake, not mine. I thought I was getting a great deal on a scratch and dent sale with no real damage but it was for an 8 foot bed, not 6.5 New dash pad...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I had really stubborn rubber/felt window seals on a super beetle and I think used baby powder too

    What is this piece called?

    These hook onto the rear inner fender. I know that the ones that run lengthwise are called first shields. Does any one make repops? Thanks

    Vintage Air: Weekend Install?

    I was basically done with this two weekends ago. I started the weekend after July 4 - so rough math, this took 3 months to do. I hit a few major, to me, road blocks: first, the crank bolt would not go in - this tied me up for weeks until I finally go the right sized chasing thread. Next, the...

    Thermal Vacuum Switch Post Engine Swap

    Thanks - I don't know where it was originally hooked up to. Vacuum lines on this thing seem to be randomly used or ignored. The engine swap seems good mechanically but the details were kind of ignored. I have to check to see what the original engine was - I just assumed it was a 350 but...

    Thermal Vacuum Switch Post Engine Swap

    The PO put in a "new" "crate" engine in my 1984 K10. It runs a little rich but starts and goes just fine. It is my understanding that the thermal vacuum switch can be disconnected with a SBC and an HEI distributor. Looking at this picture, it looks like the vacuum source for the distributor...

    Switched Power for Electric Fan Relay

    Thanks for the diagram - What EFI are you looking at? Right now I'm leaning towards Edelbrock Pro Flow 4 with a fuel sump. I think we are both taking different paths to the same place - my plan is to just reroute the ground trigger for the fan relays from the temp sensor to the proper EFI ECU...

    Switched Power for Electric Fan Relay

    I think I bought that same relay box. My plan is a little simpler: 2 fans each with their own relay with both triggered by either the trinary switch from the AC or the temp sensor i put in the water neck. Ultimately, I would like the fans individually controlled by a fuel injection system...

    Switched Power for Electric Fan Relay

    Vintage Air tech support got back to me and said using the wire going from their system to the trinary switch is OK - I just have to figure out if that wire only has power when the AC is on. I'll know this weekend hopefully when I finish the main connections and try to start the truck. [In...

    Switched Power for Electric Fan Relay

    This is power for the switching part of the relay which I think is pretty low draw. Fan power is from the battery.

    Switched Power for Electric Fan Relay

    Finishing up installing dual electric fans and hit a small snag with wiring the relay. The relay needs a switched Power source. I would like to find one in the engine bay rather than going through the firewall to the fuse block. I would call this the trigger or sensor wire. It is not the power...

    Gas Tank For LS Swap

    I'm in a similar situation looking at going EFI - either Holley Sniper or Edelbrock Pro Flo - and I'm thinking seriously about getting Edelbrock's fuel sump. Basically existing mechanical pump at low pressure --> fuel sump --> throttle body at high pressure. No return lines either.

    350 small block with m12 crank bolt?!

    @Bill K thanks for your help, after a couple of false starts, I got the right chasing tap and cleaned the threads up. A little oil on the threads and I got the bolt all the way in and torqued down.

    91 Nissan, need help.

    Possibly crappy fuel delivery too - check the fuel filter and change if needed If you can, try running it off a gas can by running a line from the can to the [Mechanical?] fuel pump. You may end up dropping the gas tank and cleaning it out.

    RETRO-MOD: Installing auto-down power window(s) in a 2 door squarebody

    Stupid question: How does the module know the window is all the way down?

    350 small block with m12 crank bolt?!

    I have the big washer and I put the whole assembly together and the new bolt's base sticks out about 1/2 an inch (this is not torqued down, dry without antisieze). I'll do the math later and try to figure out how much of the new bolts threads are captured, but it is at least 1/2".

    350 small block with m12 crank bolt?!

    And Ace is closed on Saturdays. I did my best to clean out hole in the crank and managed to get the new bolt in but not far enough. I can get the old bolt in until I think it bottoms outs. I have to double check, but I think now the problem is that the new bolt is too long. I'm going to...

    Trans Cooler lines

    i half agree with @Dave M, but instead of learning how to bend an flare hard lines - make your own AN lines. Before you go forward look at what it would take to remove the old lines and then route the new lines, how long you think it would take you to make the new lines (then double it) The...

    350 small block with m12 crank bolt?!

    Ace is maybe 20 minutes away - I will have to wait until Saturday morning Thanks @BillK, @WFO and @Bextreme04 for all your help - I'll post any new developments.

    350 small block with m12 crank bolt?!

    Looks like I'll be buying a tap . . . 7/16-20 right? This is the newest old vehicle I've worked on and also in the best shape. I try not to do "destructive" things when working because half the time I find out that there was a better way to do something without breaking something to do it...

    350 small block with m12 crank bolt?!

    I went out and measured them - both are 0.43" across the tops of the threads. Now I'm totally confused - how can one go in but the other bind up? It is hard to explain, but it feels like when you put a coarse threaded bolt into a fine thread.
