Electrical / Re: Diagram for firewall connector?

« Last post by Snowball on Today at 04:28:30 pm »

I’m looking for the same diagram as the original poster for a 1979 Chevrolet C 10 no AC gasoline two tanks as it looks like somebody cut some wires underneath the hood and I’m trying to fix my accessory wires and constant 12 V wires any diagrams, numbering labeling on pin outs would be highly appreciated

Don't know a whole lot on the ethanol. Trucks been up here in PA since November. Actually, due to unforeseen circumstances as being served with a divorce, the same person who helped me reunite me with her, is leaving me. So back down south we go

at minimum, with current days gas with Ethanol I would get ethanol safe fuel lines.

might be bad rubber lines coming from the top of the tank to the hardline.  My trucks down right now for that very problem.  If those hoses are bad you'll be sucking air instead of fuel from the tanks.

Why not just buy 3/8 fuel line?  If you can take the dayco you mentioned back and get efi or fuel injection hose.  its costs more but it tolerates the ethanol in the fuel better and for longer.  I know our trucks don't normally have EFI except yours, but always buy Fuel Injection rated hose.

I never thought of that before.  Excellent write up! 

My Camaro is especially susceptible  to corrosion in the cooling system.  I will give this a go!

Yes, I was thinking for some reason I should see more of the key, but I guess that doesn’t make sense. the key should be engaged enough I believe as long as the balancer is bottomed out. The balancer wouldn’t go on if it was misaligned. I’m probably overthinking it. Just on other equipment I’ve worked on that has had keys and slots on a shaft I could always see more engagement. Plus never done this before so wanted to make sure I didn’t mess it up.

If you are concerned about the key depth, I think you are overthinking.  The keyway is there to keep the balancer from walking around the crank.

Blocked off cowl drain, to many leaves and the fan sucking them in and blowing into the AC box apparently into the resistor and creating ambers.
I haven't been consistent on cleaning out the cowl....

Thinking more about it, I guess it would make sense that it only seats this far from looking at the front. I can’t see where the inner hub actually slides onto the crank into the timing chain cover so it may be more fully engaged than I’m led to believe but looking at the front.
