    Glass Composite Headlamps Recoimendation

    I've got the glass ones in my truck for 3 years now. Appears to be the same thing as mentioned by df2x4. I got mine on ebay at that time. I wouldn't have anything else. Along with Wagner BP9005TVX2 bulbs.

    What is the control box attached to the master cylinder for?

    After looking very closely, it does have the extra bits. Attached is a pic of what it looks like on my 1990. So .....how does the darn thing work? where does it get its data from? If it is working properly would one ever feel a pulsing of the brake pedal when activated?

    Code P0102 help

    Wish I'd found this thread before buying a used MAF sensor. Turns out it was the eng1 fuse like badazzbulldog suggested. Not surprised as I smoked a wire on one of the o2 sensor when attemping to change it. Never would have guessed a fuse since the vehicle still ran. Now I just need to determine...

    Vortec Reliability after MPFI conversion and intake gaskets

    I have both and have cursed them both. My 1990 5.7 with TBI I've had to do intake gaskets, injectors and distributor. My 1999 5.7 vortec had the intake gaskets changed with 100,000KM less. Quit because the Crank position sensor failed. And simply would not start in extreme cold ...did the...

    1990 5.7 Won't Start

    Fixed Few weeks ago went to check the timing. No spark at all. So figured must be the ICM as suggested. (finally failed completely). Last weekend I put the new distributor in. Aftermarket unit. Still no spark. I had noticed before putting it in the reluctor and pick-up gap looked funny. Popped...

    1990 5.7 Won't Start

    update Today got the neighbor to assist me. while cranking, the timing light would flash inconsistently. (even attached to coil lead) flash pause, flash flash pause.... Have a new distributor on order. Maybe next weekend i'll have another go at it.

    1990 5.7 Won't Start

    Colour of spark hard to tell in daylight. However using the coil lead it will jump a 1/2" gap. Still waiting for a decent day and an assistant to check timing.

    1990 5.7 Won't Start

    I'll check the timing next when I get a helper. You're right about the tranny, wishful thinking. Wish it had a vortec as well.
