Views: 59 | Comments: 3 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: 191 | 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. April 18, 2024, 04:08:42 PM by philo_beddoe
Views: 106 | Comments: 3 Well, I know what is hitting it, had lots of bags of soil, mulch, that sort of thing in the bed, on way home from wmart, when hitting a drop in the road, or bump, I could hear the scrape. Why is this hitting, can I cut a space in this stupid rivited on box? And why is it rivited, and not simple bolts? Pages: [1]
