    Has any one tried the knock off holley pumps?

    Ebay has a pro comp knock off of the holley red pump, for about 50 bucks. Has anyone tried these. I originally put a delphi fuel pump on mine. It was rated at 5 to 9 psi but only 30 gph. The flow was not enough. I lost a couple of pounds of boost. I put a holley red on yesterday and its...

    Bad motor or something else?

    The owner doesen't know of the antifreze consumption. His help is a group of flunkees that tear everything up and try to hide it from him. But judging by the looks of the coolant being mostly water I'ld say they've been adding.

    Does hypermax make a 3in down pipe

    Does hypermax make a 3in down pipe and exhuast housing. I don't know the no. of my old turbo but I want to get the egts down. I thought about fabing up a down pipe from my pile of take off factory mufflers and tail pipes. Doing that I would still only have a 2 1/2 in hole in the turbo would...

    Bad motor or something else?

    Guys why does it miss only when the radiator is pressure up? If I take the cap off the miss will clear up. If I put my pressure checker at 13 lbs the miss and smoke come back.

    Bad motor or something else?

    I got done with the compression test and put it back together. It started and ran great. I pressured the radiator up left for lunch and fired it up when I came back. It puffed white smoke missed and carried on. So I am looking at heads. If we decide to rebuild this one I'll check the...

    timing questions?

    Thanks guys for the timing advice. I was at 4 deg btc. bumped it up to 8.5. Didn't make a huge difference. I did notice a little more smoke. Started a new cold air intake. But it looks like the old stock hypermax down pipe has to go. 2.5 inches is just not enough.

    Tilt column dissassembly?

    I haven't had my 84 or 85 apart in a while so pardon me if I'm off. I believe that there are two pins that have to come out. They have a small hole in each one with female threads. Most parts houses sell a little tool for removing these. It has a funny looking screw with 5/16 thread on top...

    Alternator upgrade - fusible link question

    Yes 3g's are internally regulated. I did the conversion to my 89 f-250 when I first got it and couldn't be more pleased. I have to jump tractors and other pickups frequently it handles that extremely well. The biggest reason for my choice was that I still live in town and have to make many...

    Turning the pump up

    Pull the cover off and get a mirror you can turn the motor over with the alt. You might have to hold the belt tight to the alt but it should work. I can't remember the allen wrench size. I'm thinking 1/4 but that doesn't sound right. Do you have a pyro?

    Bored at Work

    You know for all of us in the basement driving mechanical trucks and shying away from the dark side, electronic diesels, there are sure a lot of computer geeks down here. I guess though we all get tired of what we work on. I hate cars after 5:30. The braniacs hate computers. Lets all be...
