    From 350 trans to 400 transmission

    Not sure of the interchange with another vehicle, but if you need one made, I recommend Fort Wayne Clutch & Driveline. They've built several for me over the years and always have done a good job. They ship anywhere in the country.

    New Member in Eastern Montana

    Welcome! I was at the Talladega race last Sunday. They interviewed a fan from Montana. I remarked to my son that when I was in the Marine Corps, I met Marines from almost every state except Montana. So I didn't think anyone lived there. I guess I missed you. Semper Fi

    Engine Paint Color Question

    Yep, and Pontiacs engines wore Blue. Chevy Small Block = Turbo Fire --> Orange Cvevy Big Block = Turbo Jet --> Orange Buick = Wildcat --> Red Olds = Rocket --> Gold Pontiac = Tempest --> Blue That's the way it was in the late 60's & early 70's

    Red is for Buicks.

    Engine Paint Color Question

    My GM crate motor was black when it arrived at my house. Old Chevy small blocks need to be orange or they're not happy. This is what it looked like after I installed it and a recent picture.

    Running Hot at Highway Speeds with A/C On

    Ain't much left that's stock in old girl. She usually runs OK. The challenge of these things is modifying them to learn from your mistakes.

    np203 shifter

    I ended up having JB Custom Fabrication build a one-off Twin Stick Cable Shifter for my Blazer. I then had to grind on the Bracket that attaches to the Transfer Case and modify the floor pan a bit to make clearance. I also had to raise the shifter up to make clearance to the Transmission. All...

    1974 Z28 Camaro

    There were no Z28s built in '76. After the 1974 model year, the Z28 was discontinued. It wasn't re-introduced until mid-year 1977.

    1974 Z28 Camaro

    One of my friends had a '74 Camaro Z28 when we were in high school. What I remember most was a local road with a dip in it. When he hit the dip too fast it would knock the right muffler off. He'd go back, get the muffler, re-install it with a mallet and it would be good to go (until we went...

    I got a lift

    Wow. Enjoy that thing! That would be wonderful, until I crushed a car roof into my garage ceiling joists. Maybe some-year I'll have a big enough building for one.

    '73 Chevelle SS Wagon (local find)

    I was considering buying a '73 SS back in 1981. It was way less expensive that what they're asking for that one. But even then, being a Northern Indiana car, it had almost as much rust.

    Badgeless, but better now.

    Wow. that looks great. I may have to steal your idea to dress-up the faded bow-tie on Blaze.

    Transfer Case Issue?

    The Transfer Case shifter could be worn-out. When I bought my Blazer it wouldn't shift into the Lock position so 4-wheel drive didn't work. I ended-up changing to an aftermarket twin-stick shifter.

    Pure SEX!

    Here's the '72 that my friend's dad traded a GMC pick-up & $1000 for in '76. It's currently getting painted back to original Targa Blue.

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    Yep, that was going to be my suggestion. I keep a 3-step Ladder in the back of Blaze. It's the perfect height to allow my wife to climb in. Also comes in handy when working under the hood. I didn't want to add the hoop step because it eats-up ground clearance.

    Carb question

    There should be a blade next to the ignition (IGN) fuse in you fusee block. Just run the wire to there.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    I don't think the average person would know how to drive this... Since it has an un-modified NP203 Transfer Case and Lock-out Hubs, when I park it in an area that is iffy I unlock one of the front hubs. It won't drive anywhere until they figure that one out.

    Are rubber valve cover gaskets JUNK? Pic inside

    Using standard Cork Fel-Pro Gaskets with a thin layer of Vaseline on both sides, force spreaders and not over-torquing I've never had them leak. And they won't stick to either the Valve Cover or the Head. The Vaseline works well on paper Gaskets too. No scraping when you need to replace them.

    Freak Injury Upon Another Freak Injury To Hand Requiring Emergency Surgery (Tool Safety)

    Wow. Glad your doing better. Most of the times that I injure myself it's due to being lazy and performing tasks not according to safety standards or to being in a hurry to complete them.

    Rear wheel drive with NP-203?

    My old NP203 had the conversion, my new one does not. I like it better with the full-time. It just feels right.

    It’s a disease

    The bumper sticker on the back of my Blazer reads, "US Marine; We don't suffer from insanity, we enjoy every moment of it" Welcome aboard!

    Power Tour

    Have fun. Not going on that one, but I did the whole 2014 Power Tour from Charolette, NC to the Wisconsin Dells in my '74 K5 without the roof. It was awesome.

    Need a starter heat shield...

    I have a similar one on a starter that I just took off my Blazer. I went to a Hight Torque mini starter. PM me your address and I'll ship it to you.

    Will this roll bar fit my 73?

    1988 would have been a small truck, so it won't fit. In the early 70's Ranger was a trim level on the Full-size line.
