Engine Tech / valvetrain and cam swap questions
I have my old mustang engine on the stand.  It has been there 3-4yrs.  It ran fine when I pulled it.

I want to take out the B cam and put in a stock HO cam.

Do I need to keep the valve stems and 1.7 RR in the same spots?

When I go to install them back, are the roller lifters bled down?  How do I install the pedistal RR and tighten them correctly??  I havent installed them before, my buddy did it years ago, and we had some shims under some of them.

Lounge / Need some OBS silverado help
Anybody with some GM knowledge, I would like some help.:punchballs:

My 96 Silverado 5.7

My voltage gauge is reading much lower than normal.  I have a 2 year old Optima battery and a new alternator also.  The gauge is fluxuating between 14 volts and 4 lines below that.  It has never done this before, I have checked the voltage at the battery when it is reading low on the gauge and Im getting 13.8 volts at the battery.  I had the system checked at Oreillys and everything checks out fine???

Im not sure what else to check.  I don't know where the dash gauge reads from?  Any advice?:bowdown:

LEADS on T-Bird/Cougar Stuff For Sale / Nice black 88 XR7 in KC yard
There is a pretty nice 88 XR7 in the yard in Pick and pull off Truman rd.  Front Row.

It is black with grey interior.  Sport seats are in good shape.  I would have taken them, but without power they wouldnt slide foreward the get to the back bolts.

It has digital dash with ECT, and prem sound with graphic EQ.  All front lghts are above average condition and would buff out and look nice.

Drivers tailight is gone, but passengers is still there.

I took the hood. 

The seatbelts sleeves are perfect, It killed me to leave them.:disappoin

Misc Tech / Heater core r/r
Getting ready to do this on my 88.  It has floor shift and coolcats says to remove the shifter.  Ive never done this before.  How does it come apart?  I know how to remove the handle, but I have never taken one apart further than that??

Or can I just pull it all the way to first gear and make enough clearance?

Any other tips on the job, other than whats on Coolcats??:bowdown:
