    CMP Retard New Motor 99 k1500 Suburban

    Yea i took a screwdriver and taped a large socket on to it kinda like what the bottom of the distributor looks like i lost my mind trying to figure it out and get it right. I'll try again later but I'm really hesitant to open it up again cause I usually lose track of which way the pump needs...

    CMP Retard New Motor 99 k1500 Suburban

    The problem is I know I'm a tooth off but I cant get it to drop into that spot I can go a tooth either way but not right on. The distributor probably has less than 10,000 miles on it maybe even 5,000 it looks brand new the old one was all chewed up. thanks for the response so late the...

    CMP Retard New Motor 99 k1500 Suburban

    Looks like I may be off a tooth counterclockwise on the distributor rotation decreases a negative reading and when you take out the distributor and rotate the gear clockwise you decrease the negative

    Pacesetter header and y pipe off

    Pacesetter header and y pipe off

    I can barely get to the middle plugs it is a total pain. On the passenger side the last pipe rubs the firewall I was gonna try and get a crowbar in there to put a dent in it. not the best fit but I have the air injection so selection was limited surprisingly no leaks on the initial few runs...

    Pacesetter header and y pipe off

    took some more time on it yesterday and it looks like if I pulled the exhaust in to meet the header the exhaust would be less than 1/2" from the driveshaft and I think that is really close. I'm going to try and get pacesetter to exchange it. geez this project started back in May. I got a...

    99 vortec Flexplate ring gear

    Yea I think someone was looking out for me again cause I didn't even fit the torque converter back on the transmission after pulling the old engine. Just goes to show you, you can never do enough research. I heard the clunks and the converter spins freely but I should have made sure the...

    99 vortec Flexplate ring gear

    I was reading on another forum where they said it was normal to have a gap anywhere from .06 to .19 over that and you should use a washer. The torque converter is all the way against the crank. the spacing is at the mounting holes

    99 vortec Flexplate ring gear

    99 vortec Flexplate ring gear
