I have pacesetters, same as you.

Yes they do....I quadruple checked them to make sure they didnt restrict flow, they are WAY larger then the ports on my heads and LTs.



Soooo, i dunno lol

KLAB 06-14-2012 03:37 AM

hmm maybe i have ported heads LOL

ZFreie 06-14-2012 05:04 PM

Now I'm paranoid and gonna have to check again on the other side!

ILuvPizzaTimes10 06-15-2012 02:20 AM

the sbc gaskets the bolt holes dont line up and it put the gasket inline with the exhaust flow. i sed run the 07's because they will fit allll applications!!!!

Again, ill have to double check, cause when I put mine on I made sure they wernt gonna be blocking flow.. i could very well be a dumbass lol

ILuvPizzaTimes10 06-15-2012 02:23 AM

all im saying is there is a reason there are specific LT1 gaskets.

nope. no dey dont hahaha

but yeah maybe you got 06's and thought they were 04s bc them shits were way the f off. we also tried to use my copper lt1 d port gaskets on my step dads 86 chevy with sbc square ports and they were way off...

ZFreie 12-07-2012 06:24 PM

Hissing noise from injector where it seals around manifold, just bad oring? If I shove a shop towel down around the injector the hissing goes away.

Figured Id ask before popping the rail off.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 12-07-2012 07:44 PM

pop the rail off. injector could have come apart too. better safe then sorry!

Anyone got stock injectors laying around just in case? lol

ILuvPizzaTimes10 12-07-2012 07:50 PM

i do not. haha its most likely the oring. but just check it. taking the rail off is easy!!

Cant remember, think they came in one of the feltpro kits i got when i replaced the intake manifold gasket. there were sitting in my tool box lol i have tons of random parts kicking around like that.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 12-09-2012 07:10 PM

yeah they come with itake manifold sets. only way to get em with out ordering them.

KLAB 12-10-2012 01:44 AM

Is the fel-pro intake manifold gasket just for manifold to head or did it come with a gasket to lifter valley gasket? or did you use sealer? I gotta do mine over its leaking out the back bad.

ZFreie 12-10-2012 04:36 PM

just the head to intake, rtv the front and back. I could give you a hand with it after new years, getting thhe intake on with out screwing up your bead can be tricky alone. manifold aint light and oil pressure sensor is kinda in the way.

Formula413 12-10-2012 10:07 PM

I thought I read somewhere about putting pencils in the intake bolt holes to help guide the intake down, would that make sense? I need to do mine at some point too.

ZFreie 12-11-2012 12:24 AM

The issue for me was getting it under the lip of the oil sensor with out touching the rtv back there. Alignment isnt so hard as just get tail of the manifold where it needs to be, its easy to set it on the edge of sensor, or let it drop a little and smush the rtv ever where. Just not many good way to hold it either.

Manifolds prob ~20lbs lol

ZFreie 12-21-2012 02:27 AM

Have a vibration that is getting worse. Can feel it in the steering wheel and seat, it does it constant on right hand turns and goes away on left turns, also does it at 85+ basically all the time. In or out of gear still does it, and rpm has no effect on it. Have moved wheels around in as many configurations as I could (have 6 wheels, 3 for each side) and still does it. Front suspension is new other then inner tie rod ends and wheel hubs.

The alignment is out a little bit again, but nothing crazy, and it also did this before I replaced the front suspension and had it aligned, still did it after alignment as well. So I'm guessing its not that.

Just had to drive 8 hours straight to NY and back to get the g/f. Drove me fucking crazy. Also how I know its worse lol

Drivers side wheel hub? Replace both sides at once?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 12-23-2012 12:45 AM

sounds like driveshaft to me.

Formula413 12-23-2012 12:58 AM

I wouldn't think a hub would do that, did you check for play in the front wheels? If all those front end parts are new you should be able to feel some play from a bad hub if you had one. Probably either driveshaft or maybe a bent axle.

ZFreie 03-26-2013 06:50 PM

Never updated, replaced other wheel hub and noise went away, not bad enough to feel by hand but boy did it make a racket in the car. Now I need tires, thinking ill just got with 555s for now on all 4 corners in 275

Dad and I Picked up a 93 GMC dually, was my uncles. Trucks clean runs and drives strong, 120k so needs some simple tlc but seems like its gonna be a good work truck. Looking to get a trailer next for the tractor and our possible spring landscaping endeavor, well see how that pans out.

Might start a small auto business now cause I'll have a "tow truck" lol

Nice truck and welder!!!

Sounds like you have a few options for your new business.

BigMac76 03-27-2013 01:22 AM

Totally forgot about the "display" radios in those trucks with the cassette deck being like 4 feet away from ya lol. And nice welder man! Nothing to it really, self-taught here and have never had a weld snap on me yet. And not talking about little auto stuff. Talking about buckets on backhoe's, plow frames for anything from a 944H Deere front loader, 650G Deere dozer to a 420D Cat. One bit of advice, invest in a good mask. Flashburn bites ass!

KLAB 03-27-2013 04:39 PM

Nice truck. what model welder is that

Putting a stock hood on and making ls1 lid work still

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psbb43971f.jpg

Trick to make the stock rad support work, drill a new hole and it fits almost perfect.

Short straight path for air vs stock bends and 3+ feet length, can not see how it could make it worse. lol

Why else would they put them on the ls1 unless they worked better then the lt1 intake?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 04-21-2013 11:43 PM

who knows why But sucking hot ass air from the top of the radiator makes less sence the sucking it from the wheel well. regardless of intake tubing length. hey if your happy with it SWEET! it sure does look great! but if i didnt have an "ls" car i would still have a moroso LT1 style CAI.

The dip looks good. How many coats you use?
