would putting oil breathers on the valve cover really do anything or is that just a waste of money

I had a 86 that I rebuilt the engine in. After putting the engine back in the truck and reconecting everything I had the same problem. Turn the key it would hit and and then stall. After looking for a while I found a main ground wire I had not hooked up. It was in the engine compartment and it conected to the intake I belive it has been a while and rember exactly where it was. Anyway bolted it to the engine and it fired right up. Check for loose wires, might not be your problem but could be. Good luck!

are you sure the timing is on? i just did a swap and it wouldnt start. checked the timing and it was a slight bit off. adjusted it and bam its blowin flames out the exaust. lol jk but fired right up

stryker

Timing could be a problem. I rember thinking that when mine wouldent start.

Like i said its been a good while since I did mine, but I think my problem came from the 3 wires you mentioned. Wish I could be more helpful.
As for long travel springs I did a SAS on my 86 and had 3" springs from Trail Gear and they were great. Lots of travel.

up date:
i need a new fly wheel and tourqe converter. can anyone help?

85-in-va

u just need 2 convert that thing to a five speed, make a post about it and see if anyone can tell u how difficult it is, i have never done one but im assuming the worst thing would be the peddles. good luck with ur runner, atleast it runs now and you will figure out the rest as u go

tskinnyp

i went through the the work i would have to do n i would actually be simpler to find a 5 speed runner and put the body on my frame. lol but im considering it. and again thank you for comeing down and gettin that thing on the road again if it wernt for you it wouls still be a hunk of metal sittin in my front yard
