    My new square has a miss

    What 87 Jimmy said. A plug wire may appear oksy and put out a ton of spark, until it has to push that spark against compression. If You can not confirm when it was last tuned up, replace it all and use AC/Delco plugs, wires too if they are available, distributor cap and rotor. You might also...

    Np205 OIL TYPE

    You might check the specs for that transmission. I am thinking that it is recommended for engine oil in the transmission, unless it is the newer over drive manual transmission, then it calls for a special lube with synchromesh additives in it. Others with more experience and knowledge might...

    Hydro boost leaks back into the cab

    Be sure to bench bleed the master, then, after getting the master bolted up, start the lines into their ports, then, have someone push the pedal down and hold it while You tighten the fittings. That will save You a bunch of brake bleeding.

    Bad idea to buy a complete LS pullout from a rollover truck??

    If it didnt take a hard hit on the harmonic balancer, or, if it was rolled over and the engine immediately shut down, it should be okay, IMO. Check the transmission case though, it could be cracked.

    Ignition HELP! [solved]

    When viewing the distributor from the back, no. 1 should be at the eleven oclock position, or pointing towards the no. one sparking plug, or close to it. Unless someone has installed the distributor in anything but original equipment specs.

    truck cranks, no spark

    Hold the coil wire away from the top of the distributor cap just a little ways, have someone crank over the engine and see if there is any spark there. Much better than trying through a plug wire that only sparks on every other rotation of the cranking shaft.

    starter question

    Look for burnt wires in the area of the booster, might not be burned black but there could be signs of melted insulation. What exactly is the starter doing ? engages and cranks over real slow ?
