I was reading Nates file on instructions for adjusting my hydraulic lifters and all looks easy except I am unsure of the best way to find TDC for each...
Bob, when adjusting lifters, you have a fair amount of leeway when TDC is called for. You won't need "exact" TDC, just need to make sure that the cylinder you...

Hello everyone, I'm pulling the original 235 Engine and Trans from my 57 Chevy 3100 Truck, and will be replacing it with a stroker 383/turbo 400. This mean I...
Jeff thanks for putting all the work into your post. It makes alot of sense and eases my mind that when I go out to do this I won't screw it up worse than it...
Bob, my pleasure. If you hit any snags just shout out. I've had the process down pat for thirty years or so but I'm still practicing how to 'splain it. One...
Ok, the proceedure so far is the same for either. The difference comes in while doing the actual adjustment. For the hyds, you should back off the adjustment...
It's 1 1/2 hours later andI have grease under the fingernails for the first time this summer. Your method for adjusting the lifters worked flawlessly. I just...
I prefer to have them straight, but it can be tricky to get them that way. I roll it across a flat stretch of concrete floor to check each time I try to ...
Glad it turned out good! A bent push rod can cause a side load on the lifter. How much is too much is subjective. I'd suggest putting it somewhere on your to...
I'm in the process of doing a frame up restoration of a 1946 GMC 1/2 ton. The truck was originally equipped with a GMC 228. I bought it with a Chevy 235 with a...

Hi Chevy fans. I enjoy every posting, even though it may or may not apply to my project. But now I need some advice that I am sure must exist within the group....
Ken, are you saying that the "batt" terminal (large wire) on the alternator is somewhat continuous to ground? Is this a one wire alternator? Have you tried...
Jeff; Thanks for the reply. I will do some more checking tomorrow in response to your questions. The alt was working fine when I decided to start ripping the...
You might want to Google troubleshooting alternator ohm meter This might bring up some information on what is inside the common 1-wire alternator In the old...
Thanks, Bill. I need to further explain that the alternator is a 2 wire set up. A small wire, which is the exciter source from the key switch attaches to the...
Since the alternator is where you are 'trouble shooting' you might just take it into a local auto parts store and have it tested, rather than spending too much...
I tested a new Delco alt (not a one wire unit) here this am and testing with an analog ohmmeter it does show continuity in one direction only. With the black...

Bill, that is probably good advice. Then I will know if there is a problem with the alt and can move forward. Thanks for you help. Ken ... From:...
Jeff; this is a two wire alt. The batt lead comes through the ammeter from the batt connection on the starter. The other wire on the alt comes from the "on"...

Growing up in the 1950's I never saw a torque tube; only have heard of them since joining here. I love the open drivelines. (just me) .bill _____ From:...
Most of the time you get an old torque tube with a Oakie Bushing which has to come out along with the rivets and old bushings and seals. The procedure is in...
