    Holley Terminator X EFI

    Truck is a '97, 383 vortec base. I wired up an Edelbrock Pro-Flow MPFI which is working fine, 0411 PCM. I have hacked into the wiring harness so many times now, I cant believe it still runs? No A/C, EGR, Cruise, Antilock, airbags, T56 swapped... Pretty basic at this point and everything removed...

    Neutral Safety Switch bypass

    I did a trans swap from auto to manual in my '97 RCSB. Started this almost 2 yrs ago, things got in the way but wrapping it up now. When I removed the auto, I chased all the wires back to the PCM and unpinned them. So I know I have a NSS problem because I removed the wiring. I'll tie this into...

    02 sensor/ENG1 fuse circuit. Elect Gurus - help please!

    I am not sure if I have a problem or not. I went in for a tune this spring and the tuner guy says your odbii is dead. I locate what I think are 2 shorts in my wiring. 1 in the cab - I have located that one. While looking at the power dist. box (fuse box under the hood) I note that many of my...

    Under hood Power distribution block power

    Stupid question... Regarding the power distribution block under the hood, what source is the 50 A fuse labeled Betty? Is that a direct feed from the batty, the main power supply?

    Ridetech Wishbone coilover rear set up

    Anyone install Ridetech's rear wishbone set up yet? I was going to make up a 4-bar set up but am considering this as an alternative. I would assume the wishbone would outperform a 4 bar but looking for some 1st hand feedback...

    Alternator excite wire

    I installed an analog gauge cluster, removing the OEM cluster. Naturally my alternator did not charge as it did not receive a signal from the dash bulb (excite wire). I am considering just putting a resistor inline as opposed to re-connecting to a warning bulb (still kinda on the fence) but am...

    old style water pump - vortec and by pass

    Cam sensor

    Kinda confused on what the cam sensor really does. I installed a Blueprint Engines 383 in my '97 C1500. I actually missed the connection to the cam sensor and ran the truck for several weeks until I went to get the cam retard offset dialed in at the dealer. I was shocked to hear I did not...

    0411 swap, no A/C now

    Did the 0411 PCM swap this weekend, tuned by Black Bear. First off thanks to Lextech for the absolute complete pinout - outstanding!! Secondly Blackbear is no joke. I pushed the cam duration a bit far and had pretty bad surge in gear, extremely crappy idle and only if in N and, well, kinda...

    Dist Timing retard crank/cam

    I put a crate engine in recently and finally took it to the dealer to have the timing adjustment dialed in. I was not throwing codes - it was tuned out but I knew it was not set correctly. They were not able to set the the retard because I never connected the cam sensor plug. I was surprised...

    question on MPFI spiders

    I am replacing the OEM spider with a MPFI set up. The injector tip (well plastic shroud) sits well into the intake runner. I am assuming its by design. Is there a benefit/problem in trimming the plastic back to be flush with the runner, or should they be left extending .5" (ish) into the air flow?
