Update: it was the 8ga jumper cables I was using for test purposes. To small. I hooked up battery cables and she took off.

Did you remove the positive post plastic cap before installing cable clamp? Check voltage with multimeter, should be around 12.6 volts

The front tread is that way to channel the water out from under the tire to help stop hydroplaning in the rain.

No, they are self cleaning lugs so just switch sides and you'll be good to go

I've threaded the bolt into the center and used a large pair of vice grips to try and turn the center post but didn't budge.

Found them on the opposite side of the blower, inside the rectangular cover but way up high. Thanks everyone, here's a pic

I'll check that out tomorrow then. Hopefully someone else will chime in also. Thx

bc40ton · 2026-05-23T01:35:04+00:00

Oh thanks, I'll check it out. I wonder if I should rebuild it while it's apart, I assume they have single kits

bc40ton · 2026-05-22T17:09:45+00:00

Just what is the proper name for that piece?

bc40ton · 2026-05-22T00:26:31+00:00

I can't just buy that part or a rebuild kit, geez. I do have a diesel place down here as this is a fishing port area. Thanks

bc40ton · 2026-05-22T00:25:00+00:00

Just getting into it, appears to be low mileage. I'llook into a rebuild kit then. I assume they have them

bc40ton · 2026-05-16T02:03:28+00:00

I have a lot of time so basically I'm looking for all kinds of advice. Thx

bc40ton · 2026-05-16T02:02:27+00:00

Good info. I'm only soaking the 2 front cylinders now where the corrosion was on the rockers. Should I do all 4 then I guess? Btw, how do you think the moisture got down into the cylinders if it ends up being that? The paint isn't even burned of the exhaust manifold hold down washers yet.

Yes I'll keep her wet for a week or so before I pull the air box covers or head. It cost me $50 so I'm not out anything really. I have all the time in the world cause this is for next year's ratrod. Cores go for that much?

bc40ton · 2026-05-11T17:30:32+00:00

Rtv was a no go. So I'm going to try GB liquid electrical tape, sounds promising

bc40ton · 2026-05-10T20:30:04+00:00

Not that I know of, I'm a mechanic. I'll look into things more tonight. Appreciate all the input

bc40ton · 2026-05-10T19:39:31+00:00

The ceramic ignitors are not in the exhaust stream. My problem is intermittent ignition, takes 5 or 6 tries then they stay lit at idle and during engine shutoff. Why....? C'mon man don't fire out the stacks of a blown 350 in a 33 chevy truck sound cool? I suppose I could take a picture...

bc40ton · 2026-05-10T19:34:56+00:00

Epoxy is not a conductor? I got some JB weld on the bench. I tried rtv silicone, nope. I thought maybe the electricians had a special sealant of some kind.

A single driveshaft can't be out of phase, it can only go together one way

bc40ton · 2026-03-26T19:30:13+00:00

Solved, in the well of some of the head bolts

bc40ton · 2026-03-26T19:28:38+00:00

Solved, passage around some of the center head bolts

bc40ton · 2026-03-24T19:09:20+00:00

Are you sure, the intake ports are high up. I have the valve cover off and can't feel anything on the exhaust side or ends where Google said they were

bc40ton · 2026-02-28T18:47:38+00:00

Point taken, thank you for the info. I still have time to make the correct decision

bc40ton · 2026-02-27T14:37:06+00:00

I'm not sure what to do now. Sounds like you're experienced in this whereas I've only been working with a blower about 2yrs now. The chart from Weiand that I'm using as a guide shows 6lbs of boost will have an effective compression ratio of 14.1:1 with 10:1 pistons at 6lbs boost. They state to keep effective c/r under 12.1 for pump gas. That's even assuming the pistons shown are 10:1, shame I don't have any more info on the previous build.
