    valve lash adjustment

    I have always turned them 3/4 turn. Never had a problem. One 350 i built in 1990 made it almost a half million miles before I sold it still running great! I never re-adjusted them, and they never made any noise.

    Dynamic EFI tuners in my area? Northern, CA Bay Area

    I was able to get it running. It was the ecm temp sensor. It would not read above 80 deg so ecm would not go into closed loop. It was the 2 wire sensor by the t-stat. It was a new ac Delco sensor. Bought a Murray brand from O'Reily's, and now it reads normal. It was hard to see because it would...

    Dynamic EFI tuners in my area? Northern, CA Bay Area

    That sounds like what I might need! I'm trying some off the shelf 7.4l injectors now. I just installed them and an adjusting the bin. I'm going to start at 18 psi using a vrfpr. Stock TBI timing tables should run decent enough to drive and do ve learn? I also have a set of 80# hr Siemens DEKA...

    Dynamic EFI tuners in my area? Northern, CA Bay Area

    I'm lost and stuck. I have a 383 stroker, summit racing heads, performer TBI intake, shorty headers, upgraded pressure fuel pump, adjustable fpr, wbo2. I can not get it to idle unless I crank up fuel pressure to 60 psi. It is way too lean. I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I just can't do it. I was...

I REALLY want to get this truck on the road before my surgery. If ANYONE is close to me and could...

    Auburn L S diff ????

    That's what I just bought, the Eaton True Trac. Can't wait to get it installed! The lower traction wheel still spins at 25% min to always have 2 wheel grip. No clutches, no stinky additive, no expensive synthetic fluid. No maintenance besides fluid changes. I have the same type of diff in my 07...

    Blueprint 383 short block and CA smog

    I just found out, it is NOT legal to add a 2nd catalytic converter after oem converter on obdI. On obdII, it is legal. A friend of mine has a friend who is a B.A.R. referee. So, I will just run my oem converter and hope for the best. If it fails, I'll deal with it then. I don't see any reason...

    Blueprint 383 short block and CA smog

    Of course, it's not legal for polution controlled vehicles at all in Ca, so I surely wouldn't tell smog tech. You have to state when purchasing it won't be used on public roads. Know anything about adding a 2nd cat, when only 1 is required?

    Blueprint 383 short block and CA smog

    It's a 92 Chevy C1500 2wd 5.7l Auto trans. I don't run a cat, except for smog, on any of my cars. Yeah, it has to fail smog before you can replace cat on this obd1 system, then shop has to install it. They want failed report, cat, and installation receipts if they find it has been replaced. My...

    Blueprint 383 short block and CA smog

    I have been trying to find an answer to this question for a couple days: Can I add a 2nd catalytic converter AFTER the required single catalytic converter? I'm running a y-pipe with single converter, single in muffler, and dual out. So, only 1 converter is "required". Reason for question is...

    This is exactly what I needed! Plus I could not figure out where to hook up the red, black, and green wires that plug into USB cable. I seen hole in ECU and thought they plugged into ECU somewhere. Now I realize they hook into wire side of larger ECU connector. It all makes sense now. You guys...

    Blueprint 383 short block and CA smog

    I'm going through all the documents for the EBL now... I may try to install it, and see if I can figure out how to flash the bin. I guess it will become clearer once connected to the EBL how to flash bin?

    Blueprint 383 short block and CA smog

    Because my registration is due. I bought truck about 4 months ago, and engine went out before I could get it smogged. This will be the 4th engine. First one was a VEGE reman. For whatever reason, it had metal in oil @ 300 miles into break-in. I voided warranty by replacing cylinder heads. I went...
