1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

[Babaganoosh]

I turned the coil overs down a inch, this gives me 5 Inches of bump travel. I might go up a half inch, what do you guys think?

Also pulled the air bumps and hopefully reseal them this week and I'll get the parts to fix the oil leak.

 

[Smokinthehippies]

That looks good to me.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I like it, no idea what I'm at with left but I like it.

Leaky fox jumps.

More uptravel more betta ride

It's at 5 inches of bump travel, might crank them up a half inch for a 40% bump travel.

It might be me but it seemed to handle better? Not sure why it would though.

More spring preload raises the spring rate up a bit.. that will help. If it was me it would be around 6 inches up travel.. that’s where we find the sweet spot for crawling and go fast to be..

 

[Babaganoosh]

Hmm yeah that does make sense now. This thing crawls once a year if I'm lucky so not worried about that.

 

[Babaganoosh]

It turns out the gasket is correct, I just put it on backwards.... I'm amazed it hasn't been a huge leak from day one. No idea why it took this long to really blow out.

Drivers side is on the top, I have the gasket upside down... It explains why it's so difficult to get the oil sender in and out.

 

[Bent77]

Oops

 

[Babaganoosh]

Oops

That's what I get for doing a engine swap in 2.3 days.

 

[Babaganoosh]

caitlyn jenner of air bumps.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Done, now to get some intake and valley cover gaskets.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Oil leak fixed... Drugs are bad mmmkay?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Not sure why but now the engine has a bog coming off idle when it's at 3/4 throttle. It is hesitant then wakes up... I wonder if pulling the battery cable will do anything? Doubt it but worth a try.

 

[Chevy305]

when it's at 3/4 throttle.

Well that's your problem right there, throttle blade is still restricting flow. Go full send

I tried, need to lift for it to catch.

 

[Babaganoosh]

This is what I get for being cheap.

 

[Bent77]

Clip or switch a wire putting it back together?

 

[6872xtc]

I'm wondering if the knock sensor and alternator were cheap replacements.
Yes?

No?

 

[Babaganoosh]

The knock sensors are in the valley cover, and are notorious for crapping out when removed.

The alternator is a new one from AutoZone and has to do with (PCM) uses the generator field duty cycle signal circuit to monitor the duty cycle of the generator. The generator field duty cycle signal circuit connects to the high side of the field winding in the generator. A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) high side driver in the voltage regulator turns the field winding ON and OFF. The PCM uses the PWM signal input to determine the generator load on the engine. This allows the PCM to adjust the idle speed to compensate for high electrical loads. It still charges just fine and has never been a issue.
