There were 2 versions, one with a long snout for the mechanical Injection 6.2/5 and one with the short snout for the electronically controlled injection. There is a reluctor or a 'tone' wheel between the crank timing sproket and the balancer. If I recall correctly this reluctor is 15mm thick. So...

Very nice, Mike! The LBZ you kept beautifully and the new machine is lucky to have found you. 👍 She's a beauty.

No sweat. Lookin good Mike.

My SRW '93 is a JB8 13X3.5 drum that is an outboard setup. Drums weigh like 60 pounds a piece. They're sensitive to cheap shoes I find.

While your at it check for a groove cut into the axle tube by the old seal. There is a fix for this if you choose to get a repair sleeve. Pretty easy install. A link to a thread that outlines this repair: https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/14-bolt-full-float-rear-axle-repair-sleeves.32137/

Nice. Goodbye Commiefornia.

Maybe a 12x20.. Free standing. All steel. Would like it to be fully enclosed with 'some kinda' door for an average vehicle. (9x7 feet) Something not permanent. Tractor Supply sells one for around a Grand but it's just a roof, open all the way around. Trying to get some ideas. This will be...

In the U.S. driving an automobile is a *privilege* NOT a *right*... Many lose perspective of this fact. If people want to drive microwave ovens with wheels and TV's on Evey seat, automakers will make 'em. (SUV's) Gotta keep up with the Jones' ya know..:rolleyes:

Gratifying saving the old iron. Well done, and those lathe turned threads, nice

Enjoying your projects man. Share those skills, great to see.

Just zip tie em up out of the way. All those wires are for is the torque converter lockup function.

Check fluid level and condition, is it dark red/black and smell burnt? Forward clutch is likely fried. A fluid and filter change would not help you at this point. The forward clutch is something replaced on a complete rebuild. Especially on a high mile unit which yours is, probably..

Wow. What a hack job they/somebody is doing. Never trust a crate motor is right.

A standard size half mixed with a 26 thousandths under for the other half? For one rod? Jeez what a mess.

*Mechanics* is a generous term in most shops. More like *Parts Changers*

"The long injectors will not clear the stock 6.5 turbo manifold. But that's fine with me." Wasn't fine with me, that's why I made it work. Even with using wider angle 6.2 heads.;)

Nice save Mike. She will ride again.

Yes^^ The HVAC on these were all vacuum actuated. Could be that the blower motor is doing it's thing but you cannot feel any air from the vents. Can't recall if there's a default position, say defrost only, if the vacuum isn't hooked up.

The blower motor needs a ground and grounds through the flange/case on the motor itself. The fiberglass AC box doesn't offer any electrical conductivity to the cab of the truck. Maybe that's your problem.. ?
