i got the $65 one off ebay too, a #10. it came with the guide plate and all the screws and a elbow with it.

 

I see you have a 96 5 speed. Do you have a stock clutch? do you tow much? If you tow a lot and have a stock clutch i would say go with a #11 for the 215 pump in my opinion there is no better all around plate for a stockish truck. You can tow with the plate in the stock position with a stock clutch and tow with it slid forward if your easy on it. If you dont tow much i would go with the #10 or cut your own to a #100 and put them in the stock position till you have a good cluch. If you go this way be easy on the throttle down low or you will start slipping it. If you’re really easy on it slide tem forward but remember the #10 makes 350 and 750 and a stock clutch isn’t going to take that for very long. I wouldn’t go with a #0. If you wanted to run a #0 at Full Forward you would have to adjust your gov arm or risj it sliding under the plate. I have also heard that a #0 doesn’t add much if any more hp tan a #100 to a stock truck. Hope this helps a little

I have had a #11, #10, #0, #100, banks, pensacola, and many many other custom plates that i have made myself. If i were you id cut my own #100. Or if you dont have a grinder buy a #10 and stick in the stock location till you got a nice clutch.

 

You wont find much better info that that!

 

i just tried installing the fuel plate tonight and i couldnt break the stock tamper proof bolt with a chisel and its like destroyed.
how can i get it off?

 

There tuff. I always use a chisel then a flat head screw driver. You also might want to put something like WD40 on it to loosen it up some. Take a pic of it maybe we can give you some tips.

 

WD-40 is for lubricating stuff, use PB plaster its the best

 

Wd40 always works for me but penetrating lube would be better.

 

The only thing WD-40 is good for is displacing moisture and removing sharpie ink !!


Guys, check out KROIL - this stuff literally eats rust:

Also, you can make a good penetrating oil by mixing ATF and Acetone. But be careful with it as its hard on rubber parts.

 

Can you drill it and use a screw extractor?


Some pics would be good.

 

theyre next to impossible to drill without taking fuel lines off i had the same thing happen to me i ended up taking the whole pupm off good thing to found the input seal was goin bad
