    4.56 gearing

    If it has a BBC you might get into low double digits for mileage regardless of gearing.

    Funky shaped metal pin thing

    Looks like a rivet that hasn't been buckerd-up ("How high is up?").

    How much rust if any.....

    The "accelerator pump" and backfiring issue solved. Might have been the ignition module or excessive rust under the cap or both. I over-torqued the #6 screw trying to remove the module (SNAP) and ended up replacing the distributor.

    It has the "accelerator pump" stumble and backfire down the exhaust issue. My friend's shop has a snap-on OBD1 scanner, it's going in next week.

    .... should be under the distributor cap and on the reluctor wheel? This is on a 1990 Sierra 1500 2WD.

    Brake lights not working

    You might try testing the new switch, could be bad.

    Adding Air Conditioning to 1989 6.2 diesel

    No pic's or part #'s. I am relying on memory but my 6.2 had a vacuum pump where the "distributor" is on a gasser and the a/c compressor went on the passenger side in front of the head.

    I put a vintage air system on my 1985ish CUCV blazer, check them out.

    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    The previous owner put a 180* thermostat in my 1990 sierra 1/2 ton, will the 5.7 explode? Should I put a 195* t-stat in?

    Pressure Switch Part Numbers

    My local FLAPS comes up with a switch for r12, nothing specifies 134a. The r12 switch has 6551828 stamped on it, will it work on a retrofit r4 compressor using 134a? Thanks for the dorman number.

    Pressure Switch Part Numbers

    I am converting my 1990 GMT400 from r12 to 134a. Does anyone have the part numbers for the pressure switches of the r4 compressor and dryer? Thanks, Rick
