I have a 2000 with a Series 1 SC with 50,000 miles on it and the SC is rattling. I can't find an oil fill plug on it, has anyone every changed or added oil to a Series 1? Any other thoughts as to what it might be?

The oil fill/drain plug should be to the left of the front snout, its a hex head allen bolt, we always use GM sc oil, because its what all Eatons use. Can find it at any local chevy dealer.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't seem to have that hex head/allen fill plug -
I was told I need to take the SC off and open it up and fill it or something like that - not sure about all of that though.

I know I'm way behind everyone with my Series 1 SC, still looking for some help.

Okay, we are replacing it with a Series 2 - has anybody done this upgrade? any photos or tips would be appreciated.

Especially around the back - the series 1 has a hugh vac tree and the rear of the Series 2 has 2 holes not threaded on the air inlet?

Can you tell a difference? Hopefully that solves that problem.

The Series 2 is much better - and yes, when I lifted off the old SC and installed the new one, the problem was solved.

Excellent. Those series one's get fickle after a while and being completely sealed there is little you can do yourself.

It seems to have more response, the boost seems to be the same at 6lbs, but there is more air flow - and best of all, this one can be serviced.

I haven't had it dyno yet - so we'll see then any real differences.

You don't have any 30 lb injectors, I think that's what was in the Series 1-2, they are red, laying around do you? I lost the tip off one of mine - When I took them out, one was missing - I guess it burnt up in the cyl.

Sorry, I don't think I have anything other than 42lbs or larger. I'll l,ook to make sure. If you decide to buy a new set GERacing.com usually will do the best on them. Ask for Sam and tell him Scott from Specialty Performance sent you.
