You don't really need that part. The probe holder is supposed to be 9.5° offset from the 0° or TDC notch on the timing tab. I just held a tape measure up to one and it is about 1/2 inch from the 0° notch to the middle of the timing probe holder. How are you going to get a timing signal? I...

Something is routed wrong then. Air from the compressor goes to the tanks under the bed. Then air is let into the airpack when you develop enough brake hydraulic pressure to cause a valve to open. That pressurized air pushes on a piston which adds to the hydraulic pressure of the brakes...

Factory is more in the middle and up high. Attached is a picture of my serpentine belt Sanden compressor mounted where the CUCV alternator would be with the Banks turbo visible below it and away from the engine some. I had a belt driven vacuum pump there for a while with no clearance issues...

I have the Nostalgia Air compressor mount on one of my trucks. I have a few GM turbo set ups to look at as well. I don’t see the trouble with putting the Nostalgia air compressor on a truck with a GM turbo. After all, GM put a Sanden type compressor on the turbo side of the engine after 1998 or...

That looks like a fun project. Enjoy.

Do a deep dive into the relationship between the compression ratio and boost for the 6.5. Lowering compression makes the engine live on constant boost compared to a stock engine that lives on 0 boost except when needed. Huge difference.

Here is the video of it taking off over my head:

I converted my Gasser M35 from a 25 amp generator to a 60 amp alternator. I had to change the pulley. Everything else mounting wise was a direct bolt on. Wiring of course was different.

FiFi was in College Station a year ago tomorrow. I went to see and hear it. South wind that day thankfully so I was able to drive around to the departure end of the runway and get a video of it taking off over me. The swapped to 2800 engines years ago to make maintenance cheaper and easier...

I went with the biggest aluminum replacement radiator I could a few years ago on my Cowdog truck. I got it from Radiator Express. They seem to be out: https://www.radiatorexpress.com/part-lookup/radiator/chevrolet/1985/k30/base/62l-v8 This place seems to have them in stock though...

I think it is fitting that picture shows a broken rear window handle. They all break!

One of mine did that when I first got it. I could leave the key on with no wait light, open the hood and jiggle the wires at the connector for the glow plug temp sender on the drivers side head rear inside the valley. I would jiggle until I heard the relay click and then get back in to start...

That is about what I paid on Amazon the last time I replaced one a few years ago.

I agree it is not a fun experience. But, if he was wanting to do it once, at a low speed and with safe thoughts in his head. Then it might be cheaper than buying a trailer.

Tax, title and license. 6.25% of what they think it is worth as sales tax then a few more things. You should be done for an amount in the low hundreds.

You want to trailer it to the trail head or just to get it initially? You could always flat tow it at a slower speed. I brought one of mine home with my M715. I had a pair of M715 engines in the back of the M715 for ballast and 26 mph was as fast as I could go and still have control. But, a...

Yes, very pricey: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/acdelco/lighting---electrical/connectors-sockets/cold-advance-solenoid-connector/d905667a342b/acdelco-switch-assembly/acd0/10154649

Contractor trash bags from Walmart are pretty good at keeping the cold wind from coming in through the door handle in the winter has been my experience. Held on with duct tape of course.

Look at the drivers side head right behind the alternator and above the exhaust. You will see the temperature idiot light sensor. Since the heads for both sides are the same casting. The same hole for the sensor on the drivers side is the hole in the head at the rear of the passenger side for...

Yes, the green wire does both the fast idle solenoid and the cold advance in side the injection pump. Except for about 6 days a year here in Texas you don’t need it.
