I did a little digging at youtube university. At about 5:30 in this video it shows you how to remove the older style ignition lock cylinder.

What was the problem?

It is just a connection. You can splice with no issue.

Electrically it does not matter if the bracket is not there. Just secure the wire in several locations as it is a long run and may move with airflow into places it does not belong.

If you have the time what can you tell me about NG1LNS?

When you get to Alaska, I have a couple of former students stationed there, depending on the unit you go to. Looks like you got a good find.

M1031 tools HR

Well, today was productive. Block is now out and on the engine stand. Ready for cleaning and reassembly. This time while I have it out, I am going to remove the starter solenoid wire from the engine harness and run it across the cab firewall with other wiring, then down to the starter.

I like the look and operation that I can see. Are they also marker lights. On my M1031 the front markers are also turn signals, so I a little confused about the first post. But if they can do both I am very interested. And I just got the smoked lenses…

I looked up the gaskets to see what else it may fit. Every listing is for a J code 6.2l diesel. I had thought that as it is a small block chevy that it may have fit some other engines that had coolant flow in the intake. Guess not. Then I have no idea about the cutouts.

Lol. This is how I did it before

I believe I will use straps for removal. I have the engine stand. I have had it out before. Fun times ahead! Putting the assembled engine back in requires me to remove the front tires so the cherry picker can clear the radiator support.

Looking for some help. I am ready to pull the block out of the truck. I have never pulled just a block out before. Where is it safe to bolt onto the block? Heads are off. I do not want to break the block lifting it out using headbolt holes.

Had some down time today. Finished up my t-shirt design. Getting ready to have a few made. Feel free to download and have your own made. I have a front logo if you want the big picture on the back.

Well. I cannot find where anything was wrong on either side. I am a victim of my own assumptions. And, as Reacher would say, assumptions kill. In this case my wallet and my clock. That is what I get for not doing the rational thing of flushing the system and refilling it to look for leaks, maybe...
