Re: My new project
I kept getting belt squeal no matter what I did. New belts, belt conditioner, adjustments. I didn't want to over-tighten the belts so finally I put a 29-30" belt from my water pump pulley to my alternator. The other belt goes to the power steering, water pump and crankshaft pulley.

Re: My new project
Did that fix your problem? I did the serpentine conversion for the same reason and haven't had a problem since.

Re: My new project
Ya that fixed the problem.
I replaced my perfectly good 600 Edelbrock carb with a Quadrajet to see if I can get better mileage. I have to work out a small idle problem bit it seems to have about the same power. Thanks to Charlie Roupe for the parts. What a great guy!. The Qjet has smaller primaries. I like the simplicity of the Edelbrock, too bad it isn't a spreadbore. I think they're in kahoots with the oil companies. My next vehicle may be S10 4x4. |

Re: My new project
OK gas mileage update. We built a low dollar 388 small block with vortec heads and a performer intake with Qjet. 10.3 compression flat tops and a 350/327 cam, ramhorn exhaust. Gas mileage went up about 30-50%. I'm sure the torque and efficiency of the heads made a big difference. Truck weighs about 4200. The reason I say low dollar, we used swap meet heads, ebay intake, speedway parts, $200 long block. Wish I had a 2200 stall and maybe 3.73 gears but pretty happy with it. Thinking about maybe summit headers next summer.
I am now running a 96 chevy starter with 1000 amp Interstate battery and Ford LTD starter relay on the inner fender. Starts on demand now. Dual tanks, (3 port switch) electric pump. Last edited by rayfinseats; 12-25-2015 at 03:40 PM. |
