Gm uses a 163 or 153 tooth gear ring. You say this happened after changing the starter. Could you have put on the wrong starter?
Original starters had the bolts ether straight across or staggered so you would not install the wrong one. But this dose not always hold true.
If you put on the...
Hey I'm from Fullerton.
Moved away in 1979.
Went to Sunny Hills High when it was next to Hughes Aircraft. I understand Hughes is a Target store or something like that now.
Welcome to the site.
Never, ever use PVC for compressed air. I have see what happens when it fails and its scary. We had PVC air lines in our cabinet shop. A line ruptured and sent pieces of plastic across the shop like a shotgun blast. We had to repair a cabinet because plastic was embedded in the end of it...
I feel you pain. I often wonder if its worth running a small business any more. Just when you think you have cut enough over head to stay afloat something goes up. And that something usually has Government attached to it.
I'll get a picture Monday and post it.
Also we tried out the com set on the 20 mile drive to church today. It worked great.
The head sets don't block as much noise as earplugs but it is adequate. Plus I can listen to the radio.
It sits on the lip of the roof over the doors. The front is 3/4 popular laminated to 3/4 plywood. Needed strength to carry the sagging roof. The bottom is 1/2 plywood. I am going to put a small angle bracket on the center windshield post and run a screw up into each end to secure it.

Finely got around to buying a Voice activated com set. Decided as long as I had to install it might as well go all out.
So I built a Overhead console with a stereo, CB radio, Docking station for my android phone and the VOX controller.
The radio, Cb and android play through the headsets. If...
It has more to do with the quality of the bulbs. I but in three of the made in china lights you get of ebay and they all failed almost instantly. One lasted a whole two days.
I switched the one original GE light from the other side to see if it was a problem related to the one socket and that...
Never put solvents into crankcase oil!
Most of the time it hurts nothing, but it can take out an engine.
If your engine is well maintained it does not need cleaning!
If it actually has deposits that need removing you defiantly don't want to add solvents to the oil.
Solvents will break the...
I am tired of always replacing headlights. They are expensive and not available locally for me.
This morning both low beams were out and I only had one spare.
My truck has a 12 volt system. I use a battery equalizer to charge a third battery for 12v accessories.
So I decided to convert to 12...
A magnet on the end of the drain plug would work.
You would be able to see what accumulates and clean it.
Just putting one on the oil pan or sump is a bad idea. First you cannot see what is accumulating. Second it will most likely not come out with the oil as when you remove the magnet. The...
