    1979 GMC van FUSE BLOCK diagram????

    Anybody have any idea where I can find a diagram of the fuse block of a 1979 GMC Vandura van? I imagine some previous and later years and probably trucks would be the same if I could find any close to 1979 also. I dont have the owners manual. Thanks

    1974 115HP Johnson WARM-UP LEVER ???

    I just noticed yesterday that when I raise the warm-up lever when trying to start this motor, it doesn't seem to move the throttle/spark advance lever much on the motor, and I don't see the throttle plates inside the carb opening much. The warm-up lever is obviously working some because there is...

    PICS ADDED!!!??? OMC 6 gallon tanks, vented, non-vented, and fittings???

    I have several factory O/E OMC 6 gallon tanks, some with the obvious vent in the cap and one that appears to have no vent. I have read before that even this tank should have a vent somewhere even if it is not obvious. But if the tank sits in the sun with the cap on tight, it builds up pressure...

    1985 1 Ton CHEVY VAN HITCH ??

    Anybody know if the hitches from a 1/2 or 3/4 ton full size Chevy van will fit the 1 ton Chevy van with same wheelbase? (1985) I mean direct bolt on. Also I read the 1978-1995 hitches all interchanged on 3/4 ton vans. I guess if the 3/4 ton fit the 1 ton then 78-95 would too right?

    Outboard air filter/air cleaner ??

    Why don't outboard motors have any type of air filter/air cleaner system? At least none of the ones I've owned. I posted this in the J/E section because those are the only brand outboards I'm really familar with. The question on the air silencers got me wondering about this again. I've owned...

    I just picked up this older Simpson 260 multimeter at an auction for $2.00. Appears to be in nice condition but I can't get it to read anything. I've checked batteries and fuse and all are good. All I'm trying to do right now is check a 12V car battery for voltage, just to see if the meter...
