    Tbi fuel pressure gauge adapter

    Took these pics today. Looks like it runs around 11 psi at idle. I may have to take the tbi unit back off sometime and install the adj regulator.

    Tbi fuel pressure gauge adapter

    Did adjusting your fuel pressure help with anything? I bought the same kit, drilled the hole but didn't install the adjuster. I can't for the life of me remember why I didn't install it after having it all ready and on hand when I did the rebuild.

    Tbi fuel pressure gauge adapter

    I installed the CFM adapter and gauge 3 years ago when I rebuilt the tbi unit on my 94. As mentioned, I had to loosen the fuel line brackets but after that it went smoothly and I've never had an issue. I really like it. Picture is on my old laptop. Dang....anyways thumbs up on this upgrade!

    1994 Chevy 1500 5.7 TBI Running Issues

    When I dropped my tank on the 94 that same grease/paste type stuff filled the entire lock ring area. Everything under it was like brand new. They should have covered the whole frame in that stuff for people in the rust belt! Lol!

    Old school pics of our trucks

    Here's a pic of mine late 94 or early 95. I had just finished doing the Black Diamond lift on it and getting my wheels and tires.

    What tool out of everything you have do you regard as your best investment.

    I, like a couple others, still have the complete Craftsman set I bought in October 1975 between tech school and my first assignment overseas. The 1/2" fine tooth is still original, the 3/8 they gave me a replacement gear set for at least twice, the 1/4" skips but over the years I've accumulated...

    What is this electrical device?

    I'm no expert but I would eliminate it back to the splice at the alternator.

    89 RCLB K1500 - Quality time with my son building his first truck.

    Haha, I understand how that happens. Back in 03 I went to a car show in Columbus. Coming back I passed Summit on the way back to PA. Stopped just to look around. Ended up with my bad half full and wallet a good bit lighter. Couple weeks back returning from my daughters in Kansas City, we passed...

    Engine backfires at high rpm

    Start with the easy stuff. I would try and eliminate the misfire on cylinder 3 first. Did you put new plugs in? Check plug wires? You could run a compression test on that cylinder as well.

    Undercarriage coatings?

    I agree with Drunkcanuk. get some really good paint on there and then annual coatings of something that you can reapply annually. Every undercoating I've ever used here in north central PA has eventually developed pockets where moisture gets under it and rust starts. I've used cosmoline...

    Safety wiring bolt heads, Do's and Don'ts...

    Seeing all that safety wire brought back some memories! One story. I had just arrived at my first duty assignment in Torrejon, Spain. October 1975. 401st OMS. F4-C models. They assigned me a trainer, nice staff sergeant, Bill King. Second day Bill and I get to fixing some stuff on his aircraft...

    Bang for the buck Functional Renewal of rust belt '99 C2500

    Hey I like the next to last pic you posted of the B model with the astronauts all posing in front. It was the airplane I was crew chief on at Langley and 158 in the late 70's was then a member of the 48th Fighter Intercept Squadrons B flight. Now that;s a blast from the past! Thanks for posting.

    4th Camping

    Looks like a fun setup. I clicked on the picture and was checking it out and noticed something I had never seen before. It's unrelated to trucks. Why do they wrap the shingles on the roof down over the fascia? Just wondering. Not criticizing.

    Time to replace my compressor

    I installed a GPD scroll type compressor in my 94 in 21. Still blowing very cold. But it's not R12. Rockauto purchase.

    94 Distributor Rebuild

    So I decided to rebuild my 94 K1500 distributor. Replacing it solved my two year quest to find an intermittent no start issue with the truck. Replaced it with one from NAPA and it solved my problem. Once I took it all apart I can't find any damage to anything but I got a new pickup coil...

    Our youngest daughter fit into most of all the above read messages. Started at 8 years old actually. She was my buddy! But once it started it was in and out of hospitals, rehabs, counseling,jail, boot camp, you name it, she went to it. Our family suffered with her behavior for over 24 years...

    That is so frustrating to get a bad "new "part! It's happened to me in the past and I was banging my head trying to figure it out. Glad you got it running!
