I'm fairly new to this site so my apologies is this is not the correct thread.
I've been hearing a lot lately that old trucks have very simple designs and that
you can make them last forever with little maintenance. I do not know if this is true but it makes sense.
Does anyone know of any extremely reliable Chevys I could look at?
ones without the pesky emissions control lights popping up every second?
I'm on a really limited budget and want to find something under $1500.
Under a grand would be fantastic though. Just something to get to work and an hour trip three times a week.
hope this makes sense.
any response will be greatly appreciated.
thanks guys.

Long story short there is no spark from the coil, I tried a coil/ign. module (little black box that is mounted beside the coil) from my tahoe and it didn't spark either, but the one off the jimmy cranked my tahoe.

I checked the red wire (I think) the haynes book says to check on of the wires that go to the coil with the key on and it was hot with the key on.
The only other thing I did was check to make sure the sensor on the bottom of the timing chain cover was plugged in, I assume thats the crankshaft sensor.

Other then replacing the computer what can I do/check????????????????
Because I didn't put the motor in I don't know for sure that there isn't somthing unplugged or missing.

Also the wires that go to the front clip where cut and spliced back together, I don't know where they go, but theres more wires there then just blinkers and headlights.


I forgot to say that the engine has been removed and rebuilt.
This is the first time we have tried to crank it. ]]> Nonspecific exoticwelding http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969943 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969852&goto=newpost Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:43:37 GMT I have a set of heads I believe to be 327 double humps but I'm prolly wrong here are the pics and the numbers from what I can read are

I have an 87 s10, 2.5 inline 4 with a 4 speed manual. From the info I have gathered threw my own searching around, and the gm service reps from a reputable dealer, I believe that I have a T4 borg warner. I was told that a T4 is basicaly a T5 minus the overdrive gear. The motor I found and have yet to purchase, is a rebuilt 3800 series out of a 2000 Firebird. Firebirds and cameros both had the T5 as the manual transmission on the v6 models, so my question is will that motor match up with my trans (T4?) just like the T5, and if not where is a good place to find an adapter kit. The guy that has the motor will sell me all the other components under the hood. I know I am going to have fabricate some things in my truck. My main concern is the engine to trans.

My grandmother bought it new in December of 1983 and gave it to me last December. I'd like to do an LSx swap at some point, but I thought it would be way more original to do something with the stock 229. Has anyone out there played around with this engine? I'd love to do some sort of turbo setup or something, but I'm having trouble finding any information on upgrading this turd. Any input is greatly appreciated. ]]> Nonspecific vgames33 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969387 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969372&goto=newpost Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:37:35 GMT Has anyone used a later model TBI engine with electronic ignition with the electronic lockup transmission in an earlier model car.
