Chevy 350 Knowledge
I just bought a Cobra v8 Trike.
They are also known as Ecstasy & Renegade trikes.
It has a Checy 350 in it, a 350 auto transmission and an S-10
rear end.
I have never owned any Chevy products before,so I know very little about them.
I would like to learn about them, so I can better maintain my ride.
Questions:
1--How can I tell what year my engine & transmission is?
2-Where do I hook up an oil pressure gauge?
3--Where do I hook up an oil temperature gauge?
4--Where do I hook up a water temperature gauge?
5--Where do I hook uo an amp meter?
6--Where do I hook up a volt meter?
I have an Equus speedometer and the cable is broken.
Where can I get a good speedometer cable for this set up?
(the cable goes into the transmission tail piece)
The engine and transmission have about 150,000 miles on them,
but they were well maintained.
I live in Tampa,Florida.
What weight oil should I be running in this heat?
What are the best spark plugs for this engine?
What about the rear end?
Are there any tips or tricks that I can do to keep the engine and transmission running their best?
Thanks to all for their help!

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
