I had a clogged macerator due to hair on the chopper blade. When I removed it I found that two of the bolts holding it together were loose. Further inspection revealed that they were brass studs that had corroded and broken just above where they screwed into the middle section of the pump. I was...

Bob There is a resistor pack located on the driver’s side of the heater box. Clip the yellow wire and it disables the low blower setting from being on all the time. Did mine years ago. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I know that GM designed it that way. But sometimes we run the roof...

Ken Its likely not a bad tire but a bad balance job. They cannot use their usual cone mount for an Alcoa wheel. Tell them they must use the mount that most of them have that use lug nuts to hold it to studs. I had used a Discount Tire at one time. They said all they had was the cone. I told...

But the Ford Model T was used extensively with a plow behind it. They sold Model T tractor conversion kits in the 1930’s. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I also remember when you could buy a Chev "delete rear bumper, radio, 1 > windshield wiper, no defroster" for under $2000.00...

Pipe taps should work just as well. Some of us have pipe threading tools that are larger. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > Hey, Jim, > I just discovered the easy way to remove the suspension arm bushings from > those stepped bores: Just go to your tool cabinet and get out a 1-1/4" or...

Hi Rick Its not the slight pressure that is the problem. At times the tanks get so hot that when one removes the fuel cap there is a geyser of gasoline which can shoot up a foot or so. Then the gasoline boils for a while and copious amounts fo fuel continue to come out of the fill spout. This...

However, didn’t those have to be revving quite high to develop the high hp? Our GMC 455 and 403 rarely go over 3000 rpm. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > both BMW and Lancia were pushing well over 600 HP from inline fours back in the late '70s with their racing efforts. the Lancias...

Yes, Jim Kanomata (Applied GMC) stocks most of what we need for our GMCs and when we buy from him we know it wit fit and is the right part. I did not buy it from Lowe’s to save money but I needed it the same day so that I could replace it and use my GMC the next day. My Onan was starving for...

My thanks to Mike Hamm. I went to Lowes and found an exact fit for the Onan filter. Look for a bright yellow filter as it came with a yellow foam outer wrap that can be removed for cleaning. It is labeled as a Briggs & Stratton Air Filter/Precleaner. It is part number 793569/793685. The UPC...

I know that someone has made a filter from an auto parts store work by fitting a cover on the bottom and possibly lengthening (or shortening) the center rod. Could you please let me know what filter you used for this? Thank you Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO

Something seems strange. I also have a 1977 Kingsley with the 455 and use the Wix 51049 and it has plenty of clearance with the starter. Are you using a non-stock starter? Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I tried the wix 51049 and it was too long and would not fix because it hit the...

I have lost 3 starters in the 37 years that I have driven my GMC. Once I had to be towed on a Sunday to a parking lot of a NAPA where I was told they could rebuild it. The other 2 times I was towing a toad, however I had to wait two days for an autoparts store to get one delivered. So I now...

There isn’t clearance to mount underneath. You might consider using a bumper storage box such as one made by Frank Jenkins. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I was just wondering this myself this morning! Trying to figure out some additional outside storage and that thought occurred...

James BarBQue tanks are DOT tanks. Our GMC tanks are ASME certified tanks. DOT tanks have to be inspected and recertified every few years. ASME tanks do not need recertification. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > I'm trying to remember what tunnel I was going through out east. > >...

Scooby Doo — Why are you running 80 psi? That might be contributing to the wear problem you are stating. You are probably reading the sidewall that say Max Tire Pressure is 80 psi. That doesn’t mean that you should use the Max pressure. You should base your tire pressure on the weight on the...

You would use a line from the engine intake manifold vacuum fitting to the tank and another line from the tank to the vacuum booster check valve. Usually it will only give you one or two good brake applications if your engine should stall so in my opinion it really isn’t a great substitute for...
