    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    After I rebuilt the top end of the 350 in my 88. I went to prime the oil pump and make sure we had oil flowing up to the top. I took the priming tool and after spinning it for a while I started smelling gas! I realized the Oil Pressure Switch turned on the fuel pump! The power going to that...

    R4 Scroll Compressor Experience

    Here's the thread I started with replacing the clutch and went on to rewiring the clutch on page 2 www.gmt400.com/threads/swapping-the-clutch-on-an-r4-a-c-compressor.49928/ https://www.gmt400.com/threads/swapping-the-clutch-on-an-r4-a-c-compressor.49928/

    R4 Scroll Compressor Experience

    Here's what I did with mine, including a relay that givers the compressor full battery voltage. The mods are in blue. This works great, I haven't had any explosions since, LOL

    I'm confused - your 89 doesn't have metal tubes for the EGR, it only has a vacuum hose from the solenoid to the EGR. Are you sure you're not talking about the A.I.R. (Air Injection Reactor). Are the tubes you're talking about going from a pump on the right side bottom front of the engine to...

    350 swap?

    I'm curious, what does the Sniper do better than the EBL with a WBO2? I'm not that familiar with the Sniper.

    LMC wheelwell moldings?

    I got all 4 for my 88 from Rock Auto. One was damaged too but, they promptly replaced it. Fitment was pretty good, I seem to remember I had to use a drift punch to line up all the mounting holes. When I bought them, they were $32.27 YMMV

    Really wish ppl would stop bringing me trucks with hydraulic fluid in trans

    In my experience, the Moderators here are fairly lenient and will normally give you/us a warning before escalating to any punishment. Take heed and try not to get to that point :deal:

    Really wish ppl would stop bringing me trucks with hydraulic fluid in trans

    A few years ago, Brandon Brown won a NASCAR Xfinity race. While a female commentator, was talking about how he managed to win, a bunch of the crowd started chanting - she said something like "listen to the crowd chanting Let's go Brandon!" when, in actuality they were chanting "F*ck Joe...

    Or, the GMPP intake here which appears to have provisions for EGR too. Just order it, don't look at the price :rolleyes...

    EBL-flash and 4L60E control?

    I was writing my reply when you posted this, LOL :waytogo:

    EBL-flash and 4L60E control?

    I think this is getting a little confusing. The EBL will not control a 4L60E, you need a stand alone PCM. As an example the EBL won't work with a 7427. On his page, look at all the ECMs he supports. I didn't check on everyone but, I'll be willing to bet they're all for a non-computer...

    Aluminum Heads to 90 C1500

    Yeah, I have this in my 88. I would have bought the long block but, I already had .62cc heads which gave me 10.3:1 - love it so far ;) www.blueprintengines.com/collections/gm-compatible/products/blueprint-engines-383ci-stroker-crate-engine-small-block-gm-shortblock-plus-bp38318sp...

    Aluminum Heads to 90 C1500

    Those look like heads for the gen 1 SBCs with no ports for EGR and probably don't have the center bolt holes drilled at ~72° so, your TBI intake won't work without modification - "Drilled for standard and Vortec intake manifold". Something to keep in mind, depending on your application, 205...

    Fuel pressure issues

    That's too low, you need 11 - 14 minimum on a stock engine. Probably not, you may need a replacement FPR spring. Nope, a lot of us run the Vortec pump from a 96+ Nah, like I said above, you need good pressure, as an example, I'm running mine @20 PSI

    1990 c1500 Engine Upgrade Questions?

    1st, get rid of the original ECM by upgrading it to the EBL Flash-II, bore your TB and swap a 20LB spring, depending on what you do with upgrades. Get a WBO2 so you can accurately tune it. The EBL can automatically tune your VE tables with a NBO2 but, it won't do any good with WOT and higher...

    1990 c1500 Engine Upgrade Questions?

    IDK where you got that from, I'm running a Bored 46mm (650 CFM) TB with a 20LB spring on my "383" up to 5,800 RPM with 12.5 AFR on my WBO2. If anything, I may go to a 2" TB off a 7.4L. I am against running an archaic toilet bowl on top when I can run a computer controlled one. :biggrin:
