Views: 37 | Comments: 1 Hi, is been ages since i last posted. My 1980 k20 is running great! One oil leak at spedo sensor is it, and rebuild the window crank on the passenger. She’s good! I’m about to buy a car hauler for my other project, 52 international. I figure it’s about 7500 pounds, but will be rated for 10,000 pounds. Motor is torquey, plenty for a few towsper year. 1. I wired 30a to the 12v for electric brakes. Is that sufficient? 2. I have a rebuilt, with heavier parts, th350 in it. We’re geared way down since it’s k20. Nice transmission cooler up front. Any concerns or things i should be worried about? Thanks! April 22, 2024, 07:29:47 PM by JohnnyPopper
Views: 118 | Comments: 6 In replacing my radiator, I noticed the tank fittings were 1/2 inch instead of 5/8, looking inside, the opening was roughly 1/4 inch diameter. I called the distributor, was told not to worry, aluminum is more efficient at cooling. So much for a 'factory fit' replacement. The transmission is a '66 GM THD 425, and the cooling lines are definitely a higher capacity. I thought I could laser measure the temp after a run to see if the trans is running hotter then the engine by a significant percentage. Being ignorant of transmission design, I don't know if this obvious restriction is severe, or if the 'flow volume' of oil is not that great. It's not that there are load issues. The question is: should I worry? and/or add an outboard cooler, bypassing the wimpy one? As always, thanks in advance for you help! April 21, 2024, 11:16:10 PM by Mike81K10

Is there anywhere on the forum with a pdf of the 1976 users handbook, the little glovebox book? Thanks Graham April 18, 2024, 04:22:12 PM by Mike81K10
Views: 199 | Comments: 8 Would the OEM mechanical fuel pump work or would I need to het a HP Fuel Pump? I noticed the aftermarket fuel pumps do not come with a return line. Is the return line really needed? I would prefer to keep the mechanical, yet have thought about an inline electric pump. Any recommendations would be great. I also would like to know if anyone has used a fuel shutoff valve solenoid 12VDC. I have noticed they are powered in the open position and no power in the closed position. I would like to put one in my system to enable me to shut of the fuel supply for security purposes. Any solenoid valve recommendations? Perhaps we should have a topic for security options on our trucks. Pages: [1]
