    Oil Pressure stuck at 15 psi

    1990 c1500 with 5000 miles on a new stock gm motor. Oil pressure has always fluctuated as normal but today it stuck at 15 psi. Once I start the truck it goes to 15psi and stays there even when I rev the engine. When I turn the engine off it goes back down to zero. Oil level is good, mobile 1...

    1990 5.7 new distributor question

    Just an update... Put a new ICM on the refurbished Delco. Motor fired right up. The ICM that came on the refurb was obviously not new. I'm kind of surprised they would have used an old one... Anyways, just hoping this one lasts a while!

    1990 5.7 new distributor question

    Well, I got the refurbished delco one and put it in and the engine wouldn't start. Pulled the plug out and it's shooting a yellow spark when I crank it. I know its not off timing wise because I dropped the old one back in the same spot and the engine fired right up. Maybe i'm doing something...

    1990 5.7 new distributor question

    You were right, I put the MSD in and wasn't getting a very faint spark and the engine wouldn't run. Put the old one back in and started right up. Guess i'll order a refurbished Delco. Wish they still made new ones.

    I went ahead and bought a "Richporter" brand one, hopefully it lasts. $75 on Amazon... Couldn't see spending over $200 on a refurbished delco one...

    1990 5.7 new distributor question

    Hi folks, I need a new distributor for the stock 1990 1500. My mechanic says the Chinese ones are all crap. I saw on another thread that the Delphi CZ20001 was highly recommended, however, everyone that sells it says it won't work for my application. They say it works on 92 and up models. Do...

    Where to buy tranny online.

    Hey folks, I am thinking about ordering a TH700r4 on-line and have it shipped to my mechanic to install it. Is there a web site that you all recommend for a reliable transmission for a stock motor? Thanks

    can cruise delete mess up my shift points?

    OK then I just ordered a delco TV cable and gasket. I'm going to try to replace it this weekend and see if that will fix the problem. I hope its the type of job I can do without breaking something else! Thanks for your help!

    can cruise delete mess up my shift points?

    Hey thanks for the video. I pressed the button and tried to push the end/head back to the firewall but it was already all the way to the firewall. (I pulled it out and pushed it back in to confirm that it was released). I then turned to WOT but there was no ratcheting out. The end/head...

    can cruise delete mess up my shift points?

    Hey guys shot in the dark here... A week ago i replaced my blinker switch with one that doesn't have cruise control on it (I don't like cc). I unplugged the wire on the old one at the bottom of the steering column. A week later I am having high shift points in all gears (700r4). Is there...
