The harness here has constant 12v but the green and white wire will not get any power when you turn key on to power fuel pump or relay . Tried to jump fuel pump from fuel pump relay wire and do not hear fuel pump. Forgot to mention it is not blowing any fuse under dash for some reason

OK checked my plugs and they were short reach so just ordered a new set of long reach Bosch listed for 5.7 Corvette 89/90 LT5 which was all I could find so will have to do for now.
Busy running the plug thread cleaner down the plug holes now to get the carbon buid up cleaned out.

Engine/Drivetrain / Vortec spark plugs

« Last post by Chevygold on August 31, 2025, 01:42:07 pm »

My '76 C10 came to me with a Vortec 383cu in crate engine which was a good incentive to purchase I thought, whilst idly browsing Summit racing site for Vortec information came across spark plugs and realised they were taper seat long reach and although I need to check tomorrow I'm pretty sure the plugs in the engine currently are short reach!
Anyway like I said I'll pull one in the morning if it ever stops raining and see whats in there.
Could explain why my truck is so thirsty!
