    Header to reducer

    Anyone know how the reducer goes to the header? I'm guessing the 2 flat edges get a gasket between and then flanges bolted together at about 20 foot pounds. Am I correct in assuming the gaps will be present as long as the nuts are tight?

    Terrible gap

    After looking at it closer I think the top of the passenger fender was "rolled out" for lack of better words. I think the previous owner didn't realize it or didn't care and left it with that gap.

    Terrible gap

    I agree with grit dog, my truck has been molested. I'm finding a lot of things were done poorly. Thanks for the replies everyone

    Terrible gap

    I'm pretty sure they are the original fenders, I see areas of red that match the areas of red on the cab. I ended up putting a long (about 4 foot) level on the upper edge of both fenders and there is a big difference... the level actually rocks in the passenger fender and lays pretty flat on...

    Terrible gap

    Here's some pics of the gap on passenger side between the hood and fender on my 79. I'm thinking the passenger fender has been bent out but wanted opinions from others so I'm not missing something. I was getting frustrated trying to make the gaps all over look a little better and noticed this. I...

    steering column or shaft

    Can anyone hook me up with a steering column that has the double D end for the steering shaft (2 flat spots and center bolt) ...tilt or non-tilt...no headlight dimmer...and no wiper switch. Or a steering shaft with the splined end and rag joint end. My steering column and shaft were replaced...

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    So I switched #2 and #8 wires with each other and all header tubes were over 350 degrees and it ran really smooth until I took it for a ride. I think the ride possibly jostled a bad wire?? I think I'll replace plug wires

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    All new. Maybe I will swap wires and see if the condition follows the wires.

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    I don't think so but will double check today.

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    Low miles crate motor. I was told about 25000 miles. All I did was replace all gaskets.

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    What could be a cause of numbers 2 and 8 header pipes not getting hot. All other cylinders are getting over 300 degrees. 2 and 8 are only making it to around 114 degrees. Compression in all cylinders is 135-145 psi. When I put the timing light clip on the spark plug wires it flashes so I assume...

    Timing issues

    I didn't see that but went back and read it. That is goofy.
