I did 4 1/8" holes around the perimeter of my thermostat, running a TBI pump, and an Edelbrock Performer RPM for years and never had an issue.I'm trying to think the cooling system through, but I'm 1200 miles away from my truck for work. My truck ran just fine with the TBI pump for about a week, and then it spiked for no obvious reason.
So what happens if I use my Vortec balancer without the reluctor wheel? I've got my TBI timing cover on the Vortec block right now.Yes. The only other detail I can think of is which timing cover you would use. If you use the TBI timing cover you'll need to use the TBI harmonic balancer. If you stick with the Vortec timing cover, use the Vortec balancer and reluctor wheel and leave the crank sensor bolted in and unplugged.
Perfect, thank you.The reluctor wheel spaces the balancer out. Without it your pulleys won't align. You can cut the reluctor down to fit under the cover or you can run a TBI balancer. Be sure and check the timing marks against the crank keyway on both balancers to ensure your timing marks aren't going to be off.
I've owned both Vortec (a 2000 K3500) and TBI (1990 K2500) engined GMT400s. Both are good engines. The Vortecs do make more power and seemed to run smoother in cold weather startups, due to their more advanced fuel injection.which is better the vortec engine or the throttle body engine?
