Thanks,I use no-ox on all my stuff.

In general the dual plane has more bottom end torque,the single plane more top end power on a NA engine,either route you take I would gasket match the intake ports,short work with a dremel tool.On a turbo motor I cant say which is better,but I imagine GM used the single plane for a reason.

All looks good,except for the under-garment pict.Altho I have wondered if that Duluth stuff was worth the cost.

Thanks,but I really meant the whole thread not just the previous post.I will not cut or alter any of the systems wireing.

Good ?,I see green patina on copper exposed to the elements.But have seen a white powdery corrosion on electrical connections,whats the difference?

I did spin on on both my 1009s.Wix 24770 head 33$ and wix 33005 filter 21$,plus npt to hose barb fittings aprox.15$.The head unit has 2 intakes and 2 exit ports so its easy to add a fuel pressure gauge,no wif fuel light,just open drain on bottom of filter 1 a month to confirm its diesel not...

I just ordered one for my 86 1009,nice to have all this info.Searching is priceless!

The search function is the best friend you can have on this site! everything you can ask is there.

98% of the time I also use large filler nozzle pumps at truck stops,faster and cheaper and fresh diesel.

The 1/0 gauge cable I have been using is described as 5145 strands of tinned oxygen free copper,is oxygen free copper a sales gimmick? Or is there a difference.The 4/0 gauge they sell is listed at 10,000 plus strands of same stuff.Holy cow that's some serious cable!

Whats the legal driving age in Illonois?

If it got gradually worse I would be thinking glowplug cascade failure,due to bad 24v to 12v resistor feeding glowplug solenoid.

And with an auto you can drive and eat an icecream cone!

Wow nice,that stuff is about 1lb per foot,I thought I went overboard with all 1/0 ga. oxygen free tinned copper cables,all your power going to get to where it needs to be for sure.

Agreed !

I thought southdaves posts pretty much covered all bases.99% of guys on SS don't like to modify their cucvs.

No offense,but why not just go with a modern spin on filter?

Did the op edpdx ever solve the chirping problem? I thought mainsail solved the problem by tightening fuel tank skid plate and rear seat latch? My 86 1009 is chirping now,so wondering.

Good to hear of a happy purchase.When I bought my 86 1009 I was so pumped for it to get delivered,then really upset when it got delivered.I bought it online trusting picts. and seller,and never again.
