Crate SBC 350 installation plan
I suggest you Google this: "factory engine lift brackets small block Chevy" The GM factory used engine lift brackets which are now being reproduced. You can also find GM original brackets on eBay. One of them mounts on the left hand driver side front of the engine using two of the 3/8"...- mrdap

700R4 Trans Cooling Lines options/recommendations?
Steel lines. Factory replacement reproduction steel lines are going to be your easiest route. If you have the skills and the tools you can bend your own as suggested. I would avoid rubber hose myself.- mrdap

Crate SBC 350 installation plan
Hello, You're have a really cool set up there looks great! I think you have a solid plan there. Here's my recommendations for what it's worth: Others may agree or disagree. 1. Personally I would axe the carburetor lift plate. Go with your chains and leveler. Even if you have to remove the...- mrdap

Now we move into desperation territory (seeking advice)...
Admittedly I haven't read every word of every post on this thread. But the first thought that comes to my mind is the ignition / HEI module inside the distributor. Have you checked or swapped that?- mrdap

TBI Harness Pigtails
Right,, point understood. If I have to I'll do it. Buy all the individual connectors the pins, wires, crimp tools, etc. My plan was just to get some matching pigtails, simply splice them in. They will look perfectly original and stock, with the correct wire colorings and stripes, and it's a... -
TBI Harness Pigtails
Hello Team, Wondering if anyone has an old TBI under hood harness laying around they'd be willing to sell some pigtails from. I've had some problems with rodents and some of the pigtails have been chewed. I was hoping to find a couple of pigtails if someone would be willing to sell. I would... -

starter rebuilding - advice needed
Also I would suggest (if it hasn't been mentioned already) you check out the unit repair manual for your your vehicle or any year close to it. There should be detailed procedures for rebuilding starters, alternators and other units. It might even be available online in the research section of...- mrdap

Do I need an Alternator upgrade?
Well here's my two cents... Like everything else it depends on the application and how you're using it. I don't like to see my voltmeter go below 13 volts. With a standard 10Si or 12Si, when I'm at idle with AC on, blower on high all four headlight bulbs lit, windshield wipers running, it's...- mrdap

10W-40 for Chevy 350
The main reason GM and Chevrolet and all the other manufacturers have gone to recommending lighter weight oils, (such as 10W-30) is to reduce their corporate fuel economy MPG ratings. Average to cost millions of vehicles maybe they gain a point here and. I doubt whether an individual would ever...- mrdap

What ya'll think of these new wheels/tires? I dig em. Any shock suggestions?
I like the wheels they look great. As far as shocks go, I've had the yellow and blue Bilstein gas shocks on my '82 C20. They're good quality shocks and they'll last a long time but I find that they ride very roughly. I by far prefer the Rancho adjustable RS9000 shocks.
