Woohoo finally some S10 Blazer content lol . I have a 94 GMC Jimmy 4×4 4-door with the lovely spider 4.3 yay me , i got it running and driven after at least about total of 6 years and went through everything on it besides a distributor and o2 sensor and a fuel pump thats only 3 things left. I drove it 300 miles home after a good hard fight with it cause it still isn't Running Right . If i could find a good part's vehicle with the TBI style to swap the intake would be so much better and less headaches but none around .
@KnuckleHeadGarage27 I have played for many hours under the hood to get this one working as intended! The spider (When working correctly) does have some decent power. I really enjoy getting this back out again. Although now with the shift solenoid I think I need some kinda slapper bar set up. Haha, always going to be something!
@@RobHoffmann20 yeah when it would Run Right man it would take off hard and push u in the seat like wow this thing got Some Torque to it , That vortec really screams and pulls hard . I believe it has a bad F Pump cause it only has about 48psi at idle but I was told it should be 60psi or so at idle but if u rev it the pressure shoots to 55+ but the blazer does this werid very odd thing to where it will run okay and but if it sits to idling then it will start running horribly like studdering and spuddering and poping in the intake and idle drops and sounds like it's trying to misfire at same time but if u rev it off idle then it's fine but soon as u let go then bam back to that again unless u don't let it sit and idle to long and it has to be up to temp before it does this . Some said o2 sensor and some said distributor but since it's the last 3 things I've literally not replaced yet I'm just going to do all 3 cause I've about went crazy I've done so much to this thing its unreal .
@@RobHoffmann20 I wanna move on and do other things to it and not keep dealing with the running issues cause it drives me Nuts . If u ever wanted to see it or had time it's on my channel and I love these first gen s10s and blazers but man the spider injection sucks to fix
@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 I will definitely check it out. I'm actually about to jump into a little video with my Yukon at the moment lol
THANK YOU!! The Cavalry arrived just in time to save my bacon!!
Great video, and LOVE the new garage/workshop!
Thank you kindly! building is getting there plenty more work to do
What was the width of your box between the wheel wells?
I cut everything to fit in the space available. I couldent day the exact size
Possibly a rough estimate? If no clue it's alright. Thanks for the response.
@@anthonyallen3880 might be 34"
I ended up using a T40 L-shaped tool and used a wrench for leverage, worked great.
Boss is made in china.
Top Arbeit 👍🏻 Wäre das möglich das Sie mir die Größen, Längen (der Einzelteile und der fertigen Auto Rampe) und Mengen Angaben aufschreiben könnten? Wie dick ist das Lochblech? Hab da noch mehr Fragen. Aber wenn man da alle Maße im Video sehen würde, dann wären keine Fragen offen. Top Arbeit 👌😎
I appreciate the comment, I have another video where I review the sizes of the ramp parts. That should give you some more details if you are looking to build your own. Best of luck! kzread.info/dash/bejne/eZ2O2axvntu0Ys4.htmlsi=dCQL3_L3XWAeDwi_
That's probably the best sunroof installation a Chevette has ever had lol. Most of them were terribly eyeballed
Much appreciated, I definitely spent some time on the placement lol
All seems to be fine, but before to put the uper part of intake manifold, I would like to know if I need to adjust the new Fuel Pressure Regulator I just put there just to be sure.
My dad had one when I was like 3 blue I am now 31

I have your car in a hot wheels
Hi , I'm from Iraq and I have a Chevy Blazer 1996 4300 cc and it is a very great engine, is there any way to change the fuel injection system to a newer one? It is very hard to get spare parts today.
Hello, I'm not really sure about that model year. I'm sorry but I'm not much help for you. Maybe do some online research to see what others have done. best of luck!

The chip clip style mouse traps with peanut butter have been fantastic... Just gotta check frequently.
A few thoughts, as I have done one too. 1. eliminate that your relay may be faulty, (fuel pumps will make a noise if they are working and u. can listen for it.) 2. remember your filter, do regular maintenance on it; you need to eliminate it as the problem, 3. if you use flexible fuel pipe anywhere in the system you need high pressure classed type flexible pipe, 2. use light oil around the top retaining ring, rarely is a special tool needed, but you must suppress any spark 3. never wear wool anywhere, soap or grease your hair and don't touch it when working, beware of external spark potential, pilot lights, etc. gas vapors have a 25+ explosive range, have a proper class fire extinguisher handy, make sure all doors open; some fresh air always, and put a wet cotton towel over the hole, to seal in vapors, remove the + cable from the battery and secure it, 0 voltage draw, deaden any other electronics, 4. replace with best quality components, clamps should be sweated on, have extra clamps, 5. any gas lost, including from vapors and what's in the old pump will be lost to the system giving the sender a false high reading, so replace about twice as much gas as you think is lost, about a cupful usually, 6 when you put it back make certain it is sealed, to be sure use 100% silicone as it adheres to an oily surface, this will keep engine light from a false reading. It is way easier to cut an access hole then to lower tank. Be sure to take the fuel rail gas pressure off before starting, even a bad pump will pressurize it and it will spray out when you open the system if you don't , there is a valve for this usually under the hood.
Fuckin legend
Stop with the music. 👎🏻
I agree! Sounds like one of those damn ice cream trucks coming down through the neighborhood!@!@
Tuff torq calls for removing the overflow tube housing, I guess to allow air to more easily escape, it means removing the seat, platform and fuel tank etc. . I upgraded my 510 hour D160 with a k66y, and updated hubs,, wheels and tires. Things are tight. I ll try the overflow overfill method, but it seems like it might take as long as full disassembly. I now also a have a goal of getting air with the front wheels .....great job
Thank you for doing video
Excellent! Thank You! Your video helped me a lot. I have Husqvarna GT54LS with K66 Tuff torque 190 hrs. A plastic gas tank covers the top of the tranny. I was able to get to the gear side top plastic threaded fill hole plug with the left tire removed and reaching to unscrew it by hand. I drilled and cut to enlarge an existing hole in the back to insert the fill tube. I would have preferred to use full synthetic 5w50 but I had some mobile one 15w50 so I used it. I filled the gear side very slowly with a flex hose inserted from the back and moved the hubs back and forth to get air out. This went very smooth with no issues.... but like I said I was only doing the gear side to start with. I took it for a test ride and the difference was AMAZING. All the speed and torque was back. I have not yet changed the hydrostatic side. but I did make a small square access hole for it on the rear so I could get to the over flow jug. My point is...... I am surprised the result I got just doing the left Gear side. UPDATE: I got the hydro side done. It took a HECK of a LONG time filling through the overfill jug. and purging air. I will check and top off again after a few weeks of use. note: my husky k66 has a hydro side OIL FILTER located at the front side of the transaxle (per the deck side). Its a large flat plastic screw in plug. The machine is is no longer sluggish and moves like new.
I'm happy to hear the video was helpful for you! I'm also glad your machine is coming back to life!
I was told i couldn't use an updated spider on my 92 s10 🤔😮 but maybe I can huh
This was the original style CPI injector. the updated version from my understanding was only for the 94/95 and up models. if I'm wrong please share a link for the part I would love to see what the updated version can do
I have the same Wheels the boss rims 338 all in Chrome and yes the Chrome job on those rims suck the chrome literally flakes right off just trying to hand dry them never buy them again
what size grade 8 bolts and length ?
my bad i need to watch the whole video btw great video
@@ovenman991 Thanks for checking it out! have a good one!
it would be nice if the camera was held more tightly and you were out of the way so we could see what you're doing because you're covering it up so the video was almost useless
Which pins did you use? Dorman for s10 doors?
I would think the top bearing is likely to stay dry and there's no point in pulling the seal, repacking it, etc..
I can say when greasing the same spindles this year I do get grease out of both the top and bottom of the assembly. Typically they would have been trash by now based on the others I have replaced in the past.
Watching all the backhoe vids. Love seeing old iron back to work.
Right on! it's a great machine! I have dual batteries installed now so the start up is much healthier! This video was just a single battery.
Very fun machines, my folks have one kinda similar but it’s a MF30A tractor with MF300 attachments. Hard to find parts and leaks hydraulic oil everywhere, but still it’s fun to operate
I was running mine today clearing some gravel, I added some hydraulic oil stop leak and it has made a large difference with the amount of fluid leaks. they slowed down but aren't major.
@@RobHoffmann20out of curiosity is universal premium hydraulic fluid a viable option to put in these old machines? Our leaks so much but due to limited knowledge I’m trying to decide the best option.
@@classiccarfanatic Any fluid will be good, the fact it leaks just means it's always clean lol
@@RobHoffmann20alright Preciate it
good stuff
that rust ain that bad
Just did on 97 Astro, awesome
Could you give me the code, size and name of those fuel lines you are using?... please?.
Super helpful!!!!!!!
Where did you buy this cannot find
I had ordered it online, and more recently went to my parts store and ordered one in that way. I think you can also send yous away to be rebuilt presumably that's still an option.
Hope you feel like posting chevette updates anytime soon Rob!
I'm long overdue for some updates! Weather is turning nicer so it's definitely possible!
So what happens to the lines going into the radiator? Do you you plug up the holes or just leave connectors in?
You could Install hole plugs or bolts. you could also leave them open. I ended up replacing the rad when it cracked and just opted to buy the cheaper rad without the oil cooler.
@@RobHoffmann20 Awesome, and thanks for the video and info! Blessings!
It’s a closed loop system so nothing will be affected whether you plug them up or not
U have any parts list to ur build as to comp cams n springs n such I have a 93 4.3 n would like simple upgrades with the msd as well tia

Oooh, you got the night vision! I’m not jealous at all. 😒
How the hell do you turn on just the high-beams with the low-beams off???😧 (I have an ’03 🤷♂️)
I think something has been chewing on our gas lines . I have had to fix both cars in the last six months .
Montecarlo 2004SSSC 3.8litre series 2
My van started leaking gas out onto the tank today. I’m gonna get under there and check it out. Hopefully it’s the same thing. Thanks for the video.
Motor perkins?

Pontiac T1000, not a chevette.
"Pontiac Acadian" not t1000. Canadian Edition.
They're the same thing minus the badges~
With old Chevy's you pump the pedal two times and then push it down and hold it while you turn the ignition,
Awesome work ..Bud. I really like People with imagination and mechanical savoy.
Much appreciated, have a good one!
I got 1989 but my is standard not automatic will be same to replace the dash lights
I can't say if it's the same, but they do make direct swap led cluster bulbs now, so that helps simplify the process. Best of luck!
Best for you is digging 1 m hole on the ground
That's not the best solution for myself. No dobut that can work however. Thanks for watching, Cheers!
Great vid, helped me out! Time to get a smaller T40 that fits in there. Wondering why the starter gear failed (split in half), could be age, or could be a weak spring, or just ???
It's designed as a failure point, probably to save other parts from damage. I would think age plays a large role in the strength of the part.
I’ve had these wheels for years exact ones the chrome is black clear coat chrome when u see the Pits just use the finest steel wool and polishing compound with a little baking soda makes the wheels brand new and smooth
