    Cam and Lifter kits

    Heh- that's why a lot of people will modify the externals before the internals. Start upgrading the inside, and all of a sudden, you've got a bunch of "weak links" ;)

    alteranator recomandations?

    The alternators at A Z have a lifetime warranty. They are easy to swap out, and I even "kind of" purposely broke one to test their warranty. They took it back and replaced it no questions asked. A little over $100; can't beat that. I have high-performance recommendations for you as well, but...

    Mechanical (double pumper) vs vacuum secondaries

    I've been doing a lot of research lately, and it still seems to be a toss up if vacuum secondaries give you better gas mileage than a double pumper with mechanical secondaries. My engine is out of a 2000 Tahoe z71- sbc 5.7 350. It is carb'd. Bored .30 over, SRP Pistons, Pink Rods with Arp...

    Engine won't crank over. Smoke coming from pos. batt terminal.

    SOLVED! :D She fired right up! The problem was the main wire going from the alternator to the battery. It was corroded most of the way through, creating a TON of resistance. I replaced it with a new, 2awg automotive grade wire. Thank you all for your help! What I learned: If a wire is...

    Engine won't crank over. Smoke coming from pos. batt terminal.

    That's what I was reading online... knock sensor plug. The only thing is, he basically removed all sensors, so it would make sense why he removed this one as well. Is it possible that because he switched over to a carburetor, he felt there would be no need for any sensors? I just got a 3 pod...

    Engine won't crank over. Smoke coming from pos. batt terminal.

    Starter and Alternator both passed. Battery was pretty close to dead... He said I could come back in an hour and the test would be complete, but I just told him I'll come back tomorrow after work. I worked the loose wire up toward the engine bay, and took a pic. It has purple sheathing. The...

    Engine won't crank over. Smoke coming from pos. batt terminal.

    ^I mispoke- meant from neg battery to engine block, not frame to block. ;) The alternator is brand new but I will have the battery checked for sure and I will find out where the hanging wire goes tomorrow after work.

    Engine won't crank over. Smoke coming from pos. batt terminal.

    A little background- I am somewhat mechanically inclined... I am learning and doing everything myself to save money. I joined the marine corps after high school, and my job takes up most of my time. Therefore, it is a slow learning process. Point being, excuse my naivety! The reason I...

    Greetings, I just joined the site after a buddy of mine told me about these forums designed for specific vehicles. I had no idea there would be one for 88-98. I am excited about the vast array of knowledge contained herein. There is still a lot I want to do to this 'ol girl but as an active...
