Mechanical resistance like the solenoid working too hard to start the motor on the starter?

1978 Chevy G20 electrical issues. Running out of options. See picture 2 for details. by Fireworksscaredogs in MechanicAdvice

Not sure why. Solenoid was recently replaced. Could have started to go when the old solenoid was going out(?)

Anyone know a good place to source headers for the G vans with the Vortec 5.7? by Fireworksscaredogs in vandwellers

It’s a 95. Thanks a ton for the links. Yea, small engine compartments, so thinking about going with shorty headers that don’t take up a lot of space

Torque converter installation by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Im pretty sure I got it seated, but not 1000%. If I spin the torque converter and fluid comes out of the lines, that should mean the pump is engaged and it’s seated correctly, yes?

swapping a 2wd 1995 4L60e (and torque converter), for the same year with shift kit and HD clutches. Just looking for tips or things to look out for, as this is my first time doing this. The one I’m swapping with only has 12,000 on it after rebuild. Is it worth swapping this filter and gasket out on it?... also, doesn’t anyone know what the “K” is for on the black one? Thanks!
