    Composite headlight to single headlight?

    Is there a disconnect in the harness for the headlights, or will I have to cut-&-crimp?

    Composite headlight to single headlight?

    My '91 Chevy has the composite headlights and I was curious if there was a conversion method to swap over to the sealed beam hardware.

    Header options for 572BBC in a 4x4 truck.

    I'm awful when it comes to welding, plus I lack the gear to weld anything.

    Header options for 572BBC in a 4x4 truck.

    I've been searching up and down for headers for a 572 crate motor and nearly everything I've found is for 572s installed in Camaros and Novas. This is what I find for most BBC headers online...

    700R4 spontaneous problems.

    I went down to Texas earlier this month for about a week. Winter was starting up so we drove my '91 Chevy to the airport in Bismark, and it drove like normal the whole way down. Pretty much from the moment I turned the key when we got back to North Dakota, the transmission was slipping. It was...

    '91 5.7l TBI random interval misfire

    I should have pulled the wires to begin with. The wires looked perfect from the distributor to the top of the boot at the plug. When I pulled them off the plugs, 3-4 of them were crunchy and had a nice big crack and another one had a good chunk missing from the boot. Found that out when I...

    '91 5.7l TBI random interval misfire

    Earlier today, for the first time, it started doing it during hard acceleration. EDIT: Today the issue got a bit worse, but I noticed that it's at least nearly undetectable at over 3000 RPM. Checked the temp sensor(not melted or anything), plug wires are intact, both injectors appear to be...

    '91 5.7l TBI random interval misfire

    The issue is at idle and just above idle only. Under any kind of load, it behaves normally. It's also an automatic, not a manual.

    '91 5.7l TBI random interval misfire

    Hot and cold and a shudder that shakes the truck and drops the voltmeter bit by bit as it happens. Sometimes it's a one off thing for about 10 minutes or sometimes it will happen about 2 or 3 times in a few minutes. Would material of the plugs matter at all?

    The engine got a rebuild back in Feb. of 2015 with new plugs thrown in.

    '91 5.7l TBI random interval misfire

    Back again with my profile picture truck. It recently developed a misfire at random intervals that only happens at idle or just barely above idle. Parts I know have been replaced that other forums I found suggested are the TPS(which solved an older issue with surging) and an EGR valve. I've seen...

    4X4 LS Motor swap

    Been looking up and down the internet and I've found plenty of LS swap kits, but so far nothing 4X4 for the 88-98 trucks. Can anyone give me a lead on where to get a kit or any 4X4 specific parts? This would be for the same bone stock 91 K1500 mentioned in older posts of mine.

    8.1L Vortec swap any good?

    First I've read about the engine burning oil on a regular basis. Any opinions on the idea of strapping GenI Corvette/Camaro, TPI parts to the truck?

    8.1L Vortec swap any good?

    Got bored and started looking up some of the various big displacement engines GM used and came across the 8.1L Vortec. Looked around further and found a couple forums that seemed to be at a 50/50 split, with half calling the engine a waste of metal and time and the other half calling it the king...

    Future build ideas. Input from more experienced users wanted.

    I checked around and on a couple of sites I had found the Weiand 142 I was looking at. Holley site stated that, both the long and short versions, weren't suited for Serpentine belt configurations. I had been hearing for a while now that the stock heads are crap, so I knew that those were gonna...

    Future build ideas. Input from more experienced users wanted.

    Slowburb: I like the bench in there already. The 10" sub makes it feel really nice. I was thinking about pulling the carpet and just putting bedliner or something down.

    Future build ideas. Input from more experienced users wanted.

    Daniel907: I noticed the Sniper listing on their site, but didn't really look into it that much. Beyond that, I'm still pretty new as far as modding goes so I didn't realize that heads from different motors were interchangeable. I'll also say that after having second gear burn up not even two...

    Just whatever. Mostly for fun.

    Future build ideas. Input from more experienced users wanted.

    I was thinking about just general performance boosts. I was also thinking about a supercharger and all the stuff needed to make that work. A heads & gaskets kit and Weiand 142 supercharger 4 barrel intake pack on Summit and a Holley Terminator 4 barrel EFI throttlebody from the Holley site. All...
