    Reverse Lights

    No PRN21 lights up on my gauge cluster! I’ve tried to get someone to fix my gauge cluster but evidently they don’t supply the stepper motors for them anymore! I’ve seen a switch on the 4l60 tranny that I could have possibly changed but I now have 6l80 trans! The lights were not working before I...

    Reverse Lights

    Any gurus out there that know why my reverse lights aren’t working? I’ve changed the housings on the rear, I’m not getting power for the reverse lights. All other lights are working! 96 RCSB!

    Msd Distributors 96-00 sbc Vortec

    Good choice! I’ve had my Accel distributor on for about 20 years with no problems! Same for my msd coil! When you replace the cap and rotor when it wears out, be sure you replace it with a Accel or a borg Warner with the copper contacts on the cap!

    Hard start when warm 97 5.7L

    Check Distributor cap and rotor again, when replacing,always use one with the copper contacts on the cap! I think borg Warner makes one,it’s a whole lot better than Delco! Mine was doing same symptoms as yours and that’s what it was on mine!

    GM crate engines?

    If towing is your main goal, I would get the 383! Gm calls it I believe a 383HT!

    What # Injectors?

    Does anybody know what # number these injectors are? These are the upgraded Multiport Fllexible Injection System! Trying to find out the flow rate so I can give the information to my tuner, so they can properly tune my engine! Thanks!

    Help Me Buy Headers!!!

    I have Gibson Coated Shortys on right now and they are decent and have been leak free for about 5 yrs! I am getting ready to install PACESETTER Long tubes in a couple weeks and will give you some feedback on that! IMO, I wouldn't have any headers at all, that wasn't coated! I have Coated...

    Flowmaster, good or bad

    I have used Flowmasters on a couple different trucks of mine and haven't had any problems with them! They are kinda loud and IMO, are the best sounding mufflers on the market when you stomp on it! I'm getting new system in a couple weeks and going to try the Flowmasters and the Magnaflow while...

    rough running when weather changes

    Accel Billet Aluminum Distributor is a good one to use. I've been running mine for several years. Use the Accel cap and rotor too! It's got good contact material!

    More Power

    IMO, Get yourself a 350 OP! You'll get more power from the extra cubes and get better fuel mlg than with the 305! The 350 won't have to work as hard!
