    Serpentine Conversion questions.

    Any picture of this system on the engine by chance? I’d appreciate it as I’ve found a 94 s10 blazer with a vortec v6 with this same setup and just so happens to be factory non ac truck so it has the bypass pulley

    Serpentine Conversion questions.

    Awesome I appreciate that. I was reading an install manual from GM On a z28 forum about serp systems and it noted about how certain heads won’t have all the mounting holes and that you just won’t use that specific bolt. So I think I’ll be headed to the yard in the morning.

    That looks Sweet. I saw a 1994 s10 blazer in the yard that was a no a/c car with the serp setup it resembles yours a lot. Do you recall How many bolts mount on the passenger side as I only have one threaded hole and drilling and tapping seems a but Much.

    4.3 V6 serp pulleys and V8 compatibly..

    I’m sure this may have been covered previously but what the heck. I’ve got an 87 Monte LS parts car with the 4.3 v6. It has the full serpentine pulley system. Will these pulleys be functional on an small block v8 assuming I get the correct water pump. Thanks for any help

    Fuel sending Unit dilemma

    I don’t believe so. I tapped into the pigtail directly from the sender a pink wire. If I unplug the sender wire at the gauge it goes back to E. Soon as it makes contact with the post it pegs right up again. I haven’t dropped the tank so I’m unsure the condition of the connections on the...
