Turns out my alignment is off. I'm driving it to let the suspension settle in and then I'll get it adjusted
Oh okay, never heard of that. So if I were to go get an alignment would I want to buy and bring some of those or would a shop have universal ones...
I saw somewhere the through bolt for the leaf springs is too long to fit in the groove on the lower shock plate that goes on the bottom of the...
That's what I was thinking too. I'll just wait and see once I get the tires mounted. I didn't have an angle grinder to cut the bolt or brackets...
Yeah I removed the bumps stops and the sway bar
Finally getting my truck back together and installed my lowering springs and blocks this weekend. Might end up reorganizing the leaf springs but...
So I installed my the Mighty Max lowering springs and noticed that when the truck was off the ground, the spring was not tall enough to snugly fit...
Ah okay. In that case I will probably forego the rebuild. I was planning on switching to a Weber next year anyway. As it is I only have about...
Thanks I'll take a look. Probably something in one of the manuals I have too
Clay, you were right. My timing was out 180. Got it to start up and idle, but idle was low and it only stayed running for about 30 seconds if I...
Okay thanks will do!
I checked the timing again after these issues. Cylinder #1 at TDC (verified with an inspection camera) crank pulley notch set at 0, dizzy rotor...
Yes, the spark plug wires are correct. I'll be looking at it a little more today. Hopefully think of something
Well I'm stuck. Engine cranks but won't turn over. I know timing is good. I verified spark to all plugs and ignition coil. Fuel pump is working...
Checked the valves and cylinder walls last night and both look great. Thanks again for that advice, I feel better knowing that those areas are in...
Thanks Clay those are some really good tips. Wish I had known to check the cylinder walls and valve stems when I was buying the engine. Oh well,...
Yeah I understand pre-filling the oil filter, I do that on my other cars where it's mounted vertically. But how are you supposed to do that with...
Thanks Fred! Fingers crossed the oil pump is good. Honest question, how much oil can you actually get in it with it mounted on the side?
So I am nearing the end of my motor swap (original 20R spun a bearing and I found a local, running 20R for a decent price so I just swapped that...
Good point. I was wondering how hard that would be. I've seen some people say you need a decently tall lift to get the engine + trans out...
