    Adding Cruise Control To 1988 K1500

    Several years ago I added cruise control to my 1988 K1500, using parts pulled from a junk yard. It never worked quite right, and eventually I figured out that I had incorrectly connected the speed signal to the cruise control module. Instead of the buffered signal it needs from the DRAC, I had...

    Torque Specs For GM Performance Parts TBI-to-Vortec Intake

    I picked up a pre-owned GM Performance Parts TBI intake for Vortec heads, so it didn't have any paperwork with it. An Edelbrock Vortec intake install manual I found online says to torque to 11 ft-lbs, so I used those instructions and the torque sequence that was included. However, I'm seeing...

    Manual Vs. Automatic Knock Sensor

    Just stopped at AutoZone for a new knock sensor. They had a sensor listed for $37 and one for $57. When I asked for the $37 sensor, the counter guy said it was for a manual transmission truck. Do the manual and automatic 88-95 trucks really use different knock sensors? What's the difference and why?

    OEM Valve Cover Differences

    For once this isn't a practical question, just satisfying a personal curiosity. Most of the engines I've seen in these trucks have an oil cap mounted directly on the valve cover, but occasionally I see OEM valve covers with a neck that sticks up at the oil fill. I've seen it more on Vortec...

    Broken Lifter Spider Mounting Hole

    So how would one go about about fixing this one? Took the one hand approach to tightening down these bolts, this one must have had some kind of gunk down in it because it had a little extra resistance until SNAP. Am I just screwed yet again?

    Question For EBL Flash-II Users

    For you guys running the EBL Flash-II ECM tuner mod, do you have a software option to set up the ECM for automatic vs. manual transmissions? I have a spare ECM pulled from a manual truck I'm looking to send in to get the mod, but my truck has the 700R4 auto. The same pin on the ECM controls...

    Need Help Decoding My Engine

    I was cleaning up my block to get ready to reinstall my TBI heads, and decided to scrape the paint off the pad in front of the passenger head so I could document the numbers. What I found looks like someone with stamps was drunk. The stamping number looks to be original to the block...

    Charcoal Canister Alternatives

    The throttle body port on my charcoal canister snapped off when I was removing stuff to get to my engine. Dorman replacement units are about $100 online, which seems a little steep just to eliminate some fuel smell (I also don't have emissions testing in my area). Has anyone tried replacing...

    Low Cost Camshaft Options - Need Opinions

    For those following my project, I'm comparing some options for a camshaft to go in my TBI 350. Since the LT1 cam I had was bad, I'm weighing options between: - Factory Vortec cam, as I have the full setup from a spare block - TBI cam, obviously - Order a new LT1 cam, looking at about $360 -...

    Used LT1 350 Camshaft Swap Into Truck Block w/Vortec Heads?

    Most of you have probably already seen me post about this in other threads, but I'm going to start a new thread specific to this part of my project. I have a TBI block with roller cam provisions that I'm swapping Vortec heads onto, and will be retaining TBI with it. I've read some posts on...

    1993 LT1 Swap Into 1988 K1500

    In another thread I mentioned I picked up an LT1 block from a 1993 Camaro by mistake. Since the quirks with this engine are going to make it hard to resell, I'm debating on finding a way to make it work in my truck. Buying all of the individual parts to do this would likely be more expensive...

    Head Swap Options For 5.7L 350 TBI Engine

    I noticed over the weekend that my truck has developed a head gasket leak (coolant in the exhaust, hard cold starts, and engine compression shooting pressure into the cooling system). Since I'm going to have everything apart anyway, I'm considering options for possible upgrades to get a little...

    Painless Performance 700R4 TCC Lockup Kit On Factory TBI?

    Some backstory: My truck is a 1988 K1500 with a 700R4 behind a 350. In 2013 I rebuilt the truck, swapping my 2WD body onto a K1500 frame. I sold my original engine wiring harness with my original 305 and TH350 since I had a harness with my new (to me) 350 engine. It wasn't until I started...
