    17 vs 19 vs 21 Pitch?

    Not a rule of thumb but depending on the health of your motor you may gain maybe 1 mph top end but hole shot will suffer Manual 3 list WOT at 3900-4300 and if your tach is accurate then your over reving Note you have only so much HP so moving to a high pitch prop just changes the RPM point...

    How Do You Utilize Sliding Rear Window on Your Pickup

    If your someone who rides with windows open then it helps with circulation and noise. Wind goes in and back out rear If your like me and never open windows then it's never opened, except maybe once or twice in many years to see if it still works :rolleyes: :LOL:

    Engine won’t turn over.

    It's corrosion Start at the battery cables both pos and neg and clean both ends to shinny metal. If that doesn't fix it, pull the 10 pin engine connector apart and clean the contacts on both sides. Reconnect and try again

    Engine cranking not catching

    I'm going to guess right now that your going to need another motor. Water in the oil filter means there is a very high probability that water is also in the bearings. TX had a real bad freeze so a lot of blocks got busted Make sure the fuel filter is full of fresh gas Bleed off some gas out of...

    Gear Lube lines plugged with bolts from previous owner

    The gear lube fitting broke off and was not replaced, so a band-aid was installed. You need part 861150T02 or if you can find the old style which was all brass

    Timing is retarded ;-)

    Leak down test is done when piston is at TDC, so both valves are closed and guides have no bearing on test readings

    In most cases the change in part numbers mean nothing other than they might be getting the part from another manufacture. Old numbers use to be 5 to 6 digits Next Merc started adding a letter and then a number - 123456T01 Anything after the letter was just for separate the differences between...

    Agree Will add, I have no problem with AC Delco because they are the OEM. That said, I bought a "brand new" AC Delco gas tank evaporator switch from Rock Auto, and it was bad. Took care to dealer thinking I was missing something, and they replaced the same part and it's fixed

    OEM Exhaust Manifolds Looking for some other info

    Your motor was be way below the water line to need that much rise If your in salt water I doubt the manifolds will last very long being steel. The Mans have restriction if for any other reason they are tall. The restriction is a good thing depending on how much just to make sure to keep Mans...

    They do make a connector (don't know the number) but if it was me I would just cut and solder together. Could probably go to any Dealer and they probably have in stock
