    I recommend an engine kill switch so this doesn't happen

    The aftermarket ECU’s I mess with require a 12v wire that is hot in crank and run. It carries virtually no load, but is needed for the ECU to ‘stay awake’. It’s very easy to put a generic switch in that circuit. You just need to keep the switch out of sight. It’s the reason I use the cruise...

    2012 Ram Ate A Cam, Anything I should know?

    ...got to pull the heads to replace the lifters. The timing chain area has a lot going on; not bad, but it's busy. The oil pump sits over the crank, there is a VVT gear on the cam, and a tensioner (can't remember if it is spring or hydraulic) on the chain. The oil pan is baffled and will be...

    What battery maintainer is everyone using?

    ...was driven regularly and the truck was maintained well, so that makes a difference, I believe. Oh, just remembered the 2013 Camaro ZL1 original Delco battery is over 11 years old now and still cranks the car up. Keep it on a tender while parked. ~2,500 miles on it. I need to drive that thing...

    BUILD THREAD Sweet Johnny & Gina: A Love "Two Large" To Fail

    ...and thought perhaps I'd find a broken valve spring, stuck valve, or a stud that backed out but saw nothing. I then systematically checked the cranking compression of all 8 cylinders and found them to vary by about 30 psi (140-170). While doing this I was unable to watch the rockers as I...

    TH350 to Super T-10 Driveshaft

    ...the upgrade to a stronger shaft. Ran me about $400 for a complete new one. If you go on YouTube and look up driveshafts that have failed you’ll understand why I mentioned this. Also make sure the end of your crank can take a piñon bearing before digging in. Some cranks don’t make allowances.

    What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2023]

    I've never see a crank support before, at what boost/power level do you start to need crank support?

    Did you put the light in each plug wire? You can check to make sure the crank sensor is working by verifying it's reading 150 rpm while your cranking it over. If it isn't(like not reading at all), then your crank sensor/wiring could be at fault. If it is reading, then maybe your injectors are...

    ...to submerge the impeller. Apparently this engine can't accommodate muffs and a garden hose. I unbolted the control set and switch panel. It cranks over just fine but doesn't send power to any of the places that matter. No spark. I have a Seloc manual but the wiring diagram sucks. When I get...

    87 Buick V8 307 Stalling after driving 20-30 Minutes

    ...are you saying that when you open and close the throttle, no fuel is coming out of the accelerator pump squirters? If so, the float bowl is empty so you either have a supply issue to the fuel pump or a bad fuel pump. What does your fuel pressure read when you crank the car after it stalls?

    ...11 today since I’m working tomorrow so decided to get some stuff done. Made some progress tonight. Alt bracket on, flex plate on, realized the crank had a pilot bearing in it so to be on the safe side did the ol bread trick to pop it out. It’s officially in the car! If any one is wondering...

    72 Beetle project

    I remembered I have a starter button, so I popped it on the started. Engine cranks, but no start. I have no spark. More investigation is needed. Back to cleaning the garage.

    Edelbrock 1407 off idle bog

    ...yachts got the LT1 with large chamber iron heads, don't let those confuse you. The aluminum headed F/Y bodies should have been right around 10.5:1. The 2 bolt block was the same between those, same crank, same pistons, same rods, different cam. There was also an iron headed 4.3L V8 LT1 lookalike.

    BOP manual trans bellhousing

    ...Glad to see there are used G body specific bell housings. This is my plan to pick these two up for my 70S. There is a good price on an Olds Hays flywheel but it is late crank bolt pattern only.
