Chevy starter problems

Might need to put shims between the starter and the block. Lots of Chevys require them.

Put in new starter after rethreading the hole

A lot of V-8 Chevys, GM's, for that matter, need shims between the starter and the block. Go to your local auto-parts store and just tell the guy what you need!

How do you check the Dash lights on my1986 c30 Motorhome They do not work

The fuse marked "panel" will only have power when the lights are on. Turn on the lights and check the fuse with a test-light. NOT just visually, but go get your test light and do it RIGHT!

Having electrical problems. head lamps, front side markers, and rear license plate lights work but i've got no power to tail lights or any of my interior lights or instruments. were should i start?

I just counted on my fingers and your vehicle is almost 30 years old. Depending on where you are, there is a very good chance that there is corrosion or rust to deal with. If it were me, I'd start with a voltmeter and a continuity meter and start checking every fuse, the fuse panels, the connectors, the bulb receptacles, etc. Your car could be a candidate for a frame up restoration. What a great project to consider. Best of luck.

Will a bad fuel presure regulator feep your car from running

It could. If it has the pressure too low, then not enough fuel will get to the injectors and your car won't start. More likely, though, it's your fuel pump not putting enough pressure out. Pressure regulators are very simple and reliable devices. Fuel pumps go bad more often.

Want turn over but but has power to starter

If you mean "Won't turn over but has power to starter" instead "Want turn over but but has power to starter" than change the starter. My guess, the pinion that shoots out the gear to turn the flywheel to achieve crank is broken and spins uselessly. When you turn the key you hear it spin but it can not turn the flywheel to start the vehicle. The other option is less likely but I have heard of someone trying to start a ceased engine so many times that the gear that turns the flywheel gets stripped and just spins.

Blinker lights work no taillights no instrument lights

That's likely a blown fuse. Both of those items are fed from the same fuse.
