    no crank after new (refurbished steering column)

    Well normally for a no crank issue you would start at the starter solenoid's wire from the IGN switch, and work your way backwards. However since you say you swapped the steering column and now you have an issue that would tend to point to a problem in that area, under the dash? You should...

    ...of Marvel Mystery Oil, or Kroil, the oil that creeps. Either/or down the spark plug ports and wait for a bit, then put a breaker bar on the crank nut and try to rock the crank. Lather/rinse/repeat for a few cycles to see if the reciprocating assembly pops free. The pistons and rings might...

    MALIBU What’s happening here now

    Hi there. I had a closer look with a buddy. he seems to believe that the Ac coolant spit out of the back of the compressor. And I thought It was that thingy I pointed out. So the fluid, as I’m not educated with ac. I thought it was antifreeze. But it’s ac fluid with a tone that appears...

    300hp 307

    ...stroker would be much less under square than a 68-69 400, would need custom pistons, uses sbc rods and balances easily. Not 5 slugs like my 330 crank, $$$! Also weighing the same while much stronger and stiffer than the 330 crank. An easy 300+HP and 400+T, 365 TO 370 CI with worked over 5A...

    Twin turbo ls overheating issue

    ...cam sensor extension. And installed it. Car fires right up after the fuel pump primes. But sh*ts off almost immediately after. Kinda feels like the fuel pump loses power. If I try to crank after it shuts off it won’t turn over. Unless I turn key all the way back. Then after prime. BOOM. On again.

    LS related question

    Look into the folks with TBSSs that do it. Since you're already GenIV with separate ECM/TCM and 58x crank it's not that bad of a swap.

    CUTLASS 357 sbc swap

    What trans? What torque converter? Your carb is small, a 750 cfm would be better but should still have plenty of power. Why did you go with such small exhaust? What is your timing curve with such high cranking compression?

    Sbc 350 harmonic balancer

    ...is old enough to need a new timing cover front seal it's pretty good insurance to spend the $65 on a new balancer instead of risking a ruined crankshaft/front bearings when it goes. I personally made that mistake before and have a 350 on a stand because the crank snout is ruined- the keyway...

    86 Cutlass overheated (I think), and now won't start

    ...that the temp gauge was real high. Over 220. Didn't hear anything sizzling. Let it cool down a couple hours and tried to restart. Just cranks. I put some extra gas in the tank, just to make sure it didn't run out of gas. I tried using some starting fluid and a little gas in the carb ...

    Fuel issue - Stumped

    Sorry 350, I meant to answer. It ran the same prior to the carb rebuild. Yup, new filters and steady strong flow. It was hoses and/or sending unit. Done. Thank you very much.

    Battery relocation and fuel lines.

    Just my $.02, I remote mounted a F0rd starter solenoid to the trunk, so that the large wire was only hot when cranking. Had to extend the starter solenoid wire and added a fused charging wire from the alternator to the solenoid. Mines a street car, so I thought that this was safer. wires run...

    Fuel line Issues?

    Yes that's what I was thinking but wanted a second opinion.

    Lost oil pressure

    So a buddy is telling me my brother had the same issue and it was the control module in the distributor… everything cranks so I’m going to try that.

    1980 Buick Century Not Working (3.8 2 barrel N/A) HELP!!

    I removed the gas line from the carb and put it in a mason jar. I then cranked the engine and plenty of fuel shot in it. Does this mean my fuel pump is fine?

    What did you do to your non-G Body project today [2024 edition]

    ...to be burned in permanently. The winch is positioned atop it to give a better sense of how it all come together. It also lets you see how the crank arm has been extended out and away from the top frame of the press so that it can be swung without smashing knuckles on it. This is the...

    Cam you dig it?

    Hope I didn't overwhelm... Basically the HO had stronger bottom structure to reduce crank walking and the heads had bigger intakes and a little better flow. If using the stud kit, works well with the Girdle and or windage tray. If turning RPM for longer duration or romping on it heavy use the...

    What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

    ...it to the G Body Classic, relatively worry free driving except for the hot start issue still persisting. On the way home ended up getting the wire to smoke going to the distribution block after a good bit of cranking and annoyance, so gonna look into that some more before I truly burn the...
