The only thing that I can think of that is squealing would be a slipping belt on the pulley. Is the belt tensioner within specification?

Not too bad, I guess I just needed to wrap my head around disposable rather than long lasting heavy duty. I kept the panel from the box so when these give out I can find 'em again.

Since having to go on welfare a couple of years back I've been forced to go grocery shopping at Canned Foods Grocery outlet amongst others. Saturday I was suprised to find these in the automotive aisle end. While their material is lightweight and the stretchers don't connect the elasticity of...

A quick shot of my old 'Steppenwolf' CJ 5

What with as smooth as 'BB' is running I'm beginning to wonder if I need the MSD 6 after all

'Black Betty' is STILL running good as steady state so far, since I'm still trying to get on top of the ABS in 'BBB' I may forego the MSD 6a box for the time being.

For the first time ever, 'BB' started up without have to resort to pumping the gas. Just once to set the choke and on the second try she started right up. :)

Congrats Terry, it's gratifying when we can figure it out for ourselves!

Those seem to be stellar, both for quality and price. I'll hold out for a while got to work on the Suburban now.

For more than a couple of years now I've had these pair of Corbeau A4 seats in Black Betty. I also got from an EBay seller neoprene (skin suit material) seat covers. Through not so thorough use these things are tearing at the seams mostly on account of the profile of these A4 seats. Of course...

Funny thing, in the shop where I'm taking 'BBB' my '96 GMC there's a '78 FSJ Wagoneer (same year as 'BB') and I noticed that the seemingly stock fuel filter had no provision for a return line. Just a through and through filter.

I found some Gates at NAPA the following day so I replaced that fuel line, especially because that return line runs over the top of the distributor now.

I'm thinking with the fuel filter now being above the carburator fuel will be trapped in the line helping to provide a quicker startup following shutdown.

After obtaining a photo of the O.E. location of the fuel filter and lines with the help of some Thailandese fuel line (Autozone had no Gates or Goodyear) I did my best to relocate what I had from the P.O.

Thanks for the input guys, 'BB's running fine it's just the early morning startup, with the fuel defeating gravity.

Well, now that the ignition seems to be working well time for me to think about other P.O. issues. This is a hard line fuel line that's been in 'BB' since I got her and realative to it's shape and placement this is what I'm accounting longer than normal startup times. I'm thinking of...

This was just a generic throttle return spring that I recognized was on a 427 Chevy motor that was a project many years ago. The Ebayer's ad said it crossed to Chevy Ford and Mopar. I see to recall these offset return springs were once common, but not around here anymore. Corvallis has turned...

Here's the difference; No wonder those springs were hanging up the fast idle cam tang :roll: ...but do you think I could find these locally.... NO
