    brake job....drums/shoes stinkin it up

    Timing for best power and mpg

    I've been dicking around with my timing some to get a good mix of power and mpg. When I first got my rotunda pulse meter I was at 15* btdc. Didn't have an egt gauge at the time so who knows where those were. Anyway set timing to 8.5*. Truck felt sluggish and my mpg dropped from 19-20 to around...

    will e4od from 97 psd fit 93 idi?

    guy has one locally. no forward gears but reverse works. only reason i want it is to rebuild it to replace the e4od in my truck, since i know it will inevitably fail. i have 213k on it now and it still seem pretty tight. i've read the later model e4od is stronger than the earlier ones, so...

    i know the fuel pick-up umbrellas are shot on my truck. Or i think they are. say my front tank is at 1/4 full, truck won't start, symptoms indicative of air intrusion. now if i switch to my full tank, truck fires and runs good. i can switch to the 1/4 full tank and truck runs just fine there...

    Crooked vacuum pump pulley?

    Changed out my vac pump today. Pressed the pulley on with a bolt and spacer. Looking at the inner edge of the pulley to the shaft, everything looks even. When its running on the truck tho, it quickly "walks" back and forth. The shaft on the pump isn't bent, I eyeballed it before I started. Does...
