converted from ford to chevy
hey im new here. i really wanted to put a wanted ad up but oh well. i have a 02 ford ranger 2wd that never let me down but the truck payment got to be a pain. i found this 86 chevy k5 blazer. the title says k10 but its not. it had a rod knocking in it when i got it but i got lucky and found a H.O. 305 with 85k miles and i got it for 350 buck! i know the guy who had it. and i heard it run. im only 18 and i used to be pretty good with cars but i got into computers for a while then i found this project. i worked on it night and day. got the old engine out and the new one in. i had to modify somethings because it was a older engine then what i had. but i got a 2 piece rear main seal instead of a the cheap 1 piece seal. i got to drive it a few days ago and i used to be a ford guy but that sound of the v8 running off the manifolds is priceless! just got to watch out for the cops haha. the trucks got a few kinks in but other than that i love it. but i need to figure why the gas gauge stays way past full. i tried the grounds but still doesnt work...idk why. any ideas. i need a y pipe for it is anyone has one for a 4wd. i live in northeast ohio and i will drive a little to get it if i have to. thanks. is there any hidden grounds im missing? i got the 2 on the back of the cylinder heads or is one suspost to go to the wiring harness to the body? and the 2 by the battery and the on on the gas tank. all my other gauges work except the gas gauge. oh and my tail lights done work...everything else works tho...idk any one?
