Help Me Find Accessory Bracket Bushings

January 28, 2025, 09:10:26 AM by Dr_Snooz | Views: 2156 | Comments: 12

My '89 350 has these amazing cast aluminum accessory brackets.

The brackets use these spacers to align the pulleys.

One of my spacers has gone missing. I'm trying to find a new one, but don't know what to call it, or the GM part number. Nor am I having much luck searching the online parts catalogs. Nobody has any drawings or anything.

Can someone help me out here?

83 Gauge options

January 17, 2025, 09:10:21 PM by slideways | Views: 2332 | Comments: 6

Im closing in on finishing my 83 K10 and of course it has the big dummy fuel gauge and no tach. I'd like to upgrade to the tach but i dont want to go digital or spend $800 on gauges. I am totally clueless with electrical and scared of the printed circuit deal but it almost seems like the tach conversion kit is the safest way to go. I thought about doing the modified Autometer setup or the glowshift deal but adding and butchering wiring doesnt seem wise to me. I'd like to get a Painless kit eventually also and having it all neat would be nice. What is the nicest and cheapest way to accomplish this? My oil pressure needle broke and the coolant gauge has been swapped and hacked in with a harbor freight one so i'd basically need all of the gauges except amps.
My last question is if i have to change back to OEM coolant gauge what is the sender wiring for that? Does it work through the spiral wound sender wire i'm using with the $15 aftermarket gauge or would i have to retrofit more stuff back to make it stock again?

Thanks
