    Missfire on cylinder number 3

    I'd ohm the distributed cap and wires with a DMM first, just to rule out the simple things. Wouldn't be the first time an MSD part was bad straight out of the box. Then I'd run a fuel pressure drop test if you have access to a scan tool that can trigger the injectors individually. Do all the...

    Model year differences

    That's a great point, and I appreciate you taking the time to post it. I've never replaced a set, so I wasn't aware that they get brittle. Maybe I'll upgrade the truck to the delco/Delphi system and see how it goes removing them first. The suburban still runs great, just has wonky fuel pressure...

    Model year differences

    Good afternoon guys and girls. I have both a '97 pickup and a '99 suburban. The pickup is my "decent toy" and the suburban is just a crapper that I use to get from home to work and back. It's sets out in all the weather and heat and dust and humidity and basically gets ruined, so I just try to...

    411 swap

    Are you positive the ecm was flashed with the 7.4 file? Seems like most of the express vans were 5.7 vortec and ls based. 7.4 vans, I'd think, were pretty rare.

    Where to begin

    Buy a few basic books (how to rebuild your sbc, engine blueprinting, etc), start reading in your down time. Read it with the mindset of "I really want to learn this", not "I HAVE to learn this". Get a notebook out and jot down your goals (power requirements, usage of the vehicle, parts needed...

    Daily truck pics

    My '97. 134,xxx. Runs/drives like a dream after I replaced the entire front end, rebuilt/upgraded the trans, complete tune up, insane amounts of detailing. Brake system is next on the list, then rear suspension.

    Rocky’s 91 454SS build

    Where did you buy the tail lights from? LMC?

    305 vortec to 350 crate motor swap exhaust question

    While it's right there, and opened up, I'd junk the factory poppets right now, unless they are new.

    RedHead Steeering Gears.....

    I ordered and installed the AGR quick ratio box, along with ported pump, on my '97 2wd. Had a question about the EVO (turns out AGR includes the needed fitting, so it's plug n play to delete EVO), so I called them. The actual owner answered the phone. That impressed me. We then had a fantastic...
