I know the feeling you're talking about when that engine crank starts to rotate on it's own....after months and months of sweat, frostbite, blood, worry and study. It is as if you are hearing your baby cry the first time. I never get over that, even after dozens of builds.
I remember when I drove my thick to my new house. Longest ride I ever took with it. That was with a 350. So now years and years later it’s time for the new challenge. LS.
Awesome! Very Cool!! Watching you start your truck makes me want to get started even more on my swap. I'm still doing watching a ton of vids on LS swaps though.
Awsome man I'm in the middle of building a custom wire harness from scratch, and I know it's going to be an exciting day for when I get to start my car for the first time.
Congratulations on the first startup! That’s awesome! Thanks for having helpful electrical tips in the video! Can’t wait to start LQ9 swapping my 86 C10 this winter💪🏼👨🏻🔧👍🏼
i guess Im randomly asking but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
Omg perfect video for me on where I stand now.My brother turned me on to this video.I have never done wire before but restoring my 1968 Camaro and now it’s time to wire everything up OMG.I just wired my motor just to start it but now I have to start from scratch.This video is Awsome and is one of my go too.Great video thank you.You can look up where I am at on my channel.Your project freaken Awsome.
Yes yes sir great content thank you I have been working on my 64c10 step side for 5 years now and it was my dads as before me and after he was gone and none of my brothers or sisters had any care of doing anything with it I got it and I had to do all the metal from roof skin iner and outer all floors and doors fenders are tubbed and extended 2” wider and lowered by coil overs money is slow right now and I have been doing one at a time I have done 4 ls swapped car’s and right now doing a 93 Ford bronco
I had one of those crimpers, but it fell off the bench. I bought a second one, and thought I'd weld a metal tab so I could clamp it in my vice, and didn't think. Melted all the seals in the stupid thing. lol
I just started wiring my ls3 c10 using AAW kit, and I had a good laugh to myself cause it was pretty overwhelming at first but I broke it down like you did and the FIRST wire I was confident in removing was the electric choke 😂
Great content bro! So what did you end up using the third brake light for? And what about the reverse lights? I’m in the process of rewiring my 76. Using a speedway 22 circuit for the chassis but it doesn’t have any dedicated wires for reverse lights. I am using Dakota digital for dash and stand alone for engine. It’s been a pickle tying all three together while deleting the old wires and tube fuses
Paul, Heat can cook electrical or overheat other items near by. The starter solenoid with headers have a high failure rate. This is an easy cheap fix using a GM heat shield that clips on and sold by Rock Auto P/N 12668713 for $8.16 plus S&H and tax for the governor’s hot tub. That rear brake line should not be an issue but to shield it, fabricate a metal shield that attaches using the current bolt, just off set it about 3/4” away and weld a 4” sheet metal to extend 8” or so, perhaps with a bend to fit. Paint it high-temp silver to reflect heat & provide an air gap for cooler air between the header side and brake line union. I hate to ask, but I am looking for the motor mount cup, bolted on engine side that allows a single bolt to pass thru w/nut in OEM style as found on 1973 & up V8’s. My wallet has no room for the dirty dingo sliders and those eye pleasing tubular eyelet mounts, as my days as a Master Tech, dealer or otherwise is gone. This is my truck and researching products. At the dealer, bad part, get new part, GM or ACDelco box. This after market stuff is new to me. I can’t afford to paint it yet, but it’s better that this 6’3” guy getting into our car, 96 Geo Prizm my wife of 40+ years has no problem. Anyone who has the single bolt (5+ inches thru bolt type) cup that mounts to the block side is what I am looking for. I can get you some coin if you have one in your scrape pile. Cars are different I think as looking at Rock Auto for the frame side mount. I have a 67 C10 I got from my son as he quit his project, then winter came, he hit black ice and a tree jumped into the side of his 2003 Tahoe. He had it towed to my back yard and owing me for 4 cars of mine he totaled, including my Park Ave Ultra. What do you do? I am just asking as a tech to a tech. Thanks much as even the videos take work. I think I have watch most all. Very cool keeping the classic steel/iron on the road! Thanks for the efforts Paul, I wish I was next door to help do the wiring as I have factory schematics and taught 6 classes in electrical. ASE Master Tech since 1978 - Retired
Question. So you used the painless wiring kit from Amazon and was able to wire it into the stock 5.3 ecm and harness? That also have for the drive by wire accelerator
Did your engine come with a starter or did you pick one out yourself? Getting close to this point on my own swap, all your vids have been a lifesaver for me, keep it up!
Good job my friend.. It makes me happy for you I have a 72 that I want to do the swap.. Did you have to change the oil pan? And I know you have a mechanical throttlebody. but can you change the Drive by wire throttlebody to a cable ?
Congrats!!👏 👏 one question, your exhaust sounds nice but in reality its really loud or it sounds like a normal truck? I really don't want nothing loud on my truck, just wanna enjoy the ride...
We don’t have inspections. I’ve never used the horn except to make my daughters hurry up. If anything changes that I need a horn I’ll get a train horn lol
Great job and congrats. I remember that feeling and it still sits with me a year later. So are you using your old gm connectors for everything or getting new?
@@paulkc10 yeah I saw you went with 21 circuit painless, I went with AAW. Do you have an account on 67-72chevytrucks.com ? I'm about 6 months ahead of you on my build. Just now getting bodywork and paint done. Installed doors and fenders this weekend. Need anything just ask. Or find me on that site. TA_C10.
@@paulkc10 there are sooo many cool ideas on that site man. I have documented everything in detail on my truck for my family and friends. Anyways, good luck man, your doing great work. It's all about the grounds my friend 😁
Hows it going brother gonna be doing the same wiring on my ‘72 C10 i went to painless website and they also have a 28 circuit whats the difference between the 21 circuit i know the price is LOL

Like the birth of your first child. I got a 94 short bed,motor change. Ect ty I learned a lot
Congrats on first fire, sounds awesome! Big boost on hearing the engine again after a big restoration👍
Congrats! I was excited for you. I know exactly how you felt.
And congratulations on d start cant wait to hear mines

Yea babe! that first fireup is awesome!
Awesome job brother!!!! I’m doing this swap on my 71 also. Love the info in the vids! Keep em coming!
Also, Congrats on the first fire!
Awesome! Great to hear the first start and all the good things going on in your life. Keep it up.
Another milestone! Sounds good - and it's not too loud!
Not at idle.. lol. I have a feeling when I open it up that will change

Haha whoops
Great video, this is a big help on the wiring that I was concerned about.
Really good job and breakdown of how it's done 👍
Thanks man
Good stuff brother, keep it up.
Awesome progress!!!
Nice man. Congrats. Sounds great!
Nicely done, congratulations!
There is nothing like the first fire up
Awesome, fun to see it fire up.
I just started wiring my ls3 c10 using AAW kit, and I had a good laugh to myself cause it was pretty overwhelming at first but I broke it down like you did and the FIRST wire I was confident in removing was the electric choke 😂
Sweet !!! So awesome buddy !!
Awesome video ... congrats on new house
I have two exact same problem with my C10 but then I switched it 180 and then it started right up
Right tools make the difference
Hell Yeah!! Keep chopping away at it.
That made me smile.
Hi nice work what you mean by flipped the coil at a 180 degree & im havin the same problem no fire from d coil & injecter not releasing gas....
Heck ya dude! 🙌🏻👍
Congratulations, the white chevy looked like a 65-66 just got a quick look.
Its, a 66 , my Dad had a 66 BISCAYNE white , it was the family car he Drag Raced on the weekend super stock class.
I wish I new how to do all this I would start working on my 70 c-10 like this guy is 😞
One piece at a time. You can learn.
@@paulkc10
Can't learn if you dont fail..Thomas edison once said..."i have not failed i've just found 10,000 ways that won't work".
NEVER GIVE UP!😎👊🏻
100%
Mine doing the Exact same thing , what do you mean you flipped the Ignition coils 180 degrees

Can you tell me what type of harness you uses and what engine do you use ?
Question. So you used the painless wiring kit from Amazon and was able to wire it into the stock 5.3 ecm and harness? That also have for the drive by wire accelerator
Painless kit is a chassis harness. PCM is PSI Conversions. The painless harness just supplies ignition power to the PCM. This is drive by cable.
@13:07 where'd you get that from? that's a neat addition
Johnny Law Motors. They have an eBay store
What you mean you flipped the coil wires 180 degrees?
I had 1-3-5-7 coils plugs plugged in 7-5-3-1
In fla ? Maybe I can help. I have a 94 been working on
Did your engine come with a starter or did you pick one out yourself? Getting close to this point on my own swap, all your vids have been a lifesaver for me, keep it up!
Already had one
where did you get the motor?
Could you link where you got that wiring kit from ?
It’s linked in the description
You using dakota digital gauge cluster?
I am not. Something a little different than the usual
@@paulkc10
Dakota digital isnt cheap or usual,but are very accurate.
What are the gauges of wire did you use for the battery and ground wires?
1 gauge
Possibly the same exact kit I got a 350 in my 78 but wiring is shot all of it needs to be replaced
What rad hoses did you use? Im using the same rad in my 67 5.3 swap
Stock silverado hoses
@@paulkc10 ok cool. I can't seem to get mine on the upper rad outlet.
What did you do with the 3rd brake light cable?
Put two red led strips on the back of the fuel tank for a third brake light
No frickin way. I'm building a c10 in my driveway and I have to get it moving in 6 weeks because my dad's renovating the house...
COMING ALONG VERY NICE. JUST CURIOUS WHAT BRAND RADIATOR AND ELECTRIC FANS ARE YOU GOING WITH ?
DNA motoring. Picked it up off a guy on marketplace. We’ll see how it does
Good job my friend.. It makes me happy for you I have a 72 that I want to do the swap.. Did you have to change the oil pan? And I know you have a mechanical throttlebody. but can you change the Drive by wire throttlebody to a cable ?
No you’d need a new throttle body
Let’s say if I have a drive by wire throttle body
Can I installed a cable throttle body.. it will work? Thanks for your reply by the way
Yes it will. Obviously you’ll need to rig the cable to the pedal and lever arm
Great progress 👍🏻🍻 Who did you go to for brake lines? I like how yours wrap around the outside of the frame
Inline Tube. They make all sorts of kits
I’m here 100 comment on here
You sir are Chingon
Is this only for a LS swap? Or does it work for an original 350?
Chassis harness is for all trucks. PCM portion is only for LS
Congrats!!👏 👏 one question, your exhaust sounds nice but in reality its really loud or it sounds like a normal truck? I really don't want nothing loud on my truck, just wanna enjoy the ride...
It’s loud
curious, why no horn? is it not a requirement in your state?
We don’t have inspections. I’ve never used the horn except to make my daughters hurry up. If anything changes that I need a horn I’ll get a train horn lol
@@paulkc10 lol
Great job and congrats. I remember that feeling and it still sits with me a year later. So are you using your old gm connectors for everything or getting new?
It’s a reworked harness so some are new, some are reused

What brand spark plug wires are you using ?
MSD
Hows it going brother gonna be doing the same wiring on my ‘72 C10 i went to painless website and they also have a 28 circuit whats the difference between the 21 circuit i know the price is LOL
More options for customizing it, especially if you have a more optioned truck or have add-ons like power windows, etc
paulk_c10 ok thanks appreciate the reply i am planning on power windows in the future!!
@paulk_c10 does this painless kit works on stock motor or just on ls swapped?
It works for stock motor. I modified mine for the LS swap
Thanks for the replied and great job 👌👏👏
where did you buy your radiator?
A guy on Facebook marketplace
That face when it turned lol
👍👍👍
Iooked like a 65/66 Impala???
It is a ‘65. Good catch
Are you using dbc or dbw?
Cable
👍
I need someone to install my c10 1979
looks like your daughter was happier than you when it fired up.
