Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project
Alright, so earlier when I said it fired right up, it did, but it would die after about 3 seconds. We figured it was just the O2 sensors struggling with adjusting to the open exhausts. We tested the fuel pressure at the rails and it was like 14 psi. So, we tested the voltage to the fuel pump and it was like 7v. It turns out we needed to flip the orange power wire and the green PCM signal wire on the relay.
So know it's truly running under its own power! Here's a little start up vid...sorry about the terrible filming. |

Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project
Alright, mcbassin finished the exhausts, did a great job using scraps from the '01 truck's pipes.
We've been working on making it road worthy... Fuse block mounted. PCM mounted. PCM and fuse block. For the drive shaft, instead if getting it lengthened we used the yoke from the 2001 truck, because it's longer. It's a perfect fit and it gives me almost 2 1/2 inches of yoke in the tranny. '01 on the right, '86 on the left We took it on a four mile test drive and it ran good. On the last mile it got hot, around 220. It turns out you have to pour coolant into the engine via the upper radiator hose the first time you fill it. So I'll do that. Still got a few thing to tidy, but it feels good drive. |

Thanks Mark, I couldn't have done it alone...
Thanks. We've put about 60 miles on it so far with no issues and it runs strong. |

Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project
Thanks Kyle..
I installed a tachometer in the clock spot. It's a cheap ebay tach, like $17, but it works good so far I just had to put it on 4-cylinder mode. It's better than the clock that was completely useless. |

Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project
Me too, I stole the idea from a few people one the board, you just need any 2" tach. It's real easy, just three wires: tach signal (from PCM), power, and ground.
