    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.

    1990 5.7 new distributor question

    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

    Well, I put the new TV cable in and now I can't get it to up-shift at all.. It looks like I am going to have to get a rebuild on this one. Thanks for your help Bulldog!

    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...

    Aftermarket Dipsticks?

    Guys , would the dealer still carry a dipstick from a 1990 5.7 truck or is it too old? I have been looking online for one but nobody seems to sell the normal GM oil dipstick.

    Goodwrench engine price variations

    Thanks for the reply Senja. I started to read about the hotter engines but I just don't have the time right now to try and figure out the tuning and sensors, etc. I have work, school, and 3 children in sports, so I know if I started down that road I wouldn't ever finish. Right now I'm going...

    Full Hooker exhaust anyone?

    all right Scrufdog, that one looks great. I saved that page. Now you got me wondering if anyone has one of these. I would have to do the install myself and take it to a muff shop for them to weld it up for me. I just wonder if 2-1/4" dual pipes are a good size for an otherwise stock engine..

    Another Exhaust Question

    If you don't have inspection do you recommend cutting out the cats when you put in a new exhaust on a stock engine?

    Full Hooker exhaust anyone?

    I saw that kit at summit but it seems to run into a Y-pipe and a single muffler, not a dual exhaust.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hok-16532hkr

    Steering Box Upgrade/Replacement

    Doesn't the 99 steering box have that EVO steering problem feature? I'll have to see if you can bypass it somehow. I would love to move the turn radius from my 97 Tahoe into my 90 c1500...

    Goodwrench engine price variations

    You are right, called GM performance now. I guess I will get the cheaper one from Jeggs and get this from Pace http://paceperformance.com/i-5146526-gmp8758-gm-engine-install-kit-for-1988-95-gm-truck-5-0l-5-7l.html Then I guess I just buy a new PS pump, use my old TBI and intake and i'm all...
