big block starter replacement
Agreed, didn't ask for a parts store suggestion. Everybody has their opinion on which to use or not, and we all know what they say bout opinions. I bought a new, not reman, with lifetime warranty. Price not terribly more than reman, heck it even came with new starter bolts! Don't wanna try...- 496bb

big block starter replacement
Bucket, The linked newer truck version has a slightly different solenoid setup - looks like a large lug connecting to motor and another large lug below it. Assuming the one small terminal is the 'S' terminal. Connect battery wire to the bottom one that is opposite of the motor connection...- 496bb

big block starter replacement
So, need to replace starter on my 87 454. Don't trust the usual auto parts stores remans, maybe the Napa with lifetime warranty. Not a terribly hard job but don't care to lay on the ground and do it over again cause of a crappy part. Is there any advantage to the mini starters? Engine is...- 496bb

what is this plug
So, going through hose replacements and general maintenance on this old girl that I aquired awhile back. Not sure what this dangling plug is for, don't see a lone plug that should go into it. 87 454 TBI. Not totally sure what these two relays do either. But, trying to determine what this...- 496bb

dual battery w/isolator and solar charging
I don't think I have any parasitic draws. PO let it sit for months and months, so I think he kinda damaged this battery already. I got busy and let it sit for about 3 months during the summer, and it's pretty much done, but it's about 3 years old anyway. It won't be a daily right now, but...- 496bb

Hello
Welcome from Bama! Nice looking square. Bought a 91 Z28 several years ago in NJ, flew from Bama, picked it up in Archie Bunker's neighborhood, and drove it home to Bama. Alternator gave out in VA, had to buy a battery charger and make a few extra stops to charge up battery - but made it home...- 496bb

Anyone used the Glowshift gauge setup
It's almost half of the others. My biggest gripe is it has no odometer, just a tripmeter. But otherwise, seems like an option.- 496bb

dual battery w/isolator and solar charging
Grit, I looked and I actually have a PAC200 - which actually just connects the two bat + so basically parallel. My concern is that my research indicates this means both batteries will equalize and constantly do so, so they will wear down prematurely. Old theory is both batteries need to be...- 496bb

dual battery w/isolator and solar charging
So, looking to put in two fresh batteries and make a dual setup. I have a diode isolator. But, I see these Cyrix isolators, and I'm trying to figure out how I could wire in a simple cheap solar trickle charger to keep both batteries topped off, as this won't be a daily driver. Anyone done this?- 496bb
