Help ID-ing and sourcing a part
@squaredeal91 No, I don’t have pics as I have not started the job yet. I want to make sure I have the parts before I start the job. However, @legopnuematic did indeed find the part I’m looking for. I’m not a huge fan that they seem to no longer be available… Do y’all know of a workaround if I...- Disco

Help ID-ing and sourcing a part
Hey all. I just noticed the rubber of my driveshaft center support bearing is shot. Before it gets any worse, I should probably fix that. The truck is a 78 short bed with a 350, a Muncie SM465, and a 12-bolt. While doing some YouTube research on how that’s done, I’m seeing there is some sort of...- Disco

Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…
It was the inspection cover or something inside the bell housing. All I know is it was a quick fix.- Disco

Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…
I put on a new Holley Q-jet and had her running pretty well. Just needed some fine tuning. Then the ignition switch disintegrated. All of the plastic in this truck is JUNK. Now that I have some money and it’s not hotter than the fires of damnation, I’ll probably get out there and swap out the...- Disco

Nope. Muncie 4-speed. And it was the inspection cover.- Disco

He had you add a fuel regulator on a carb? I would suspect a needle and seat or a float if a carb is flooding, unless you added an electronic fuel pump with a higher output that the mechanical pumps. If you are using a mechanical pump, the needle and seat should be enough to stop fuel flow, as...- Disco

Sliding rear window gasket?
So the aluminum brightwork window in the Big10 there at the bottom is dealer option style? That looks like what mine has.- Disco

Sliding rear window gasket?
I know this is an old thread, but I have a question. My 78 needs the rubber, felts, and latch replaced. I also picked up a slider off an 80s model from a scrap yard. I see rubbers like the one above that state "fits 84-91 OE sliders", so my question is this: Is there a difference between 73-83...- Disco

@JBswth, it was the inspection cover, apparently. They pulled the cover to check inside the bell housing area, found nothing of concern, put the cover back, started the engine to use a stethoscope to track the sound, and the sound was gone. The only thing we can think is the cover was put on in...- Disco

Carb question
Do you have a picture or two of how this is done? Will I need to purchase a OP switch? I’ve seen a few threads around about converting Q-jet divorced to electric choke. Is that what we’re talking about?- Disco

And that’s it? There’s nothing else to do converting from divorced to electric?- Disco

Carb question
I’m gonna revive this with another question. @Paladin, since you encouraged getting a Holley, maybe you can help. Everyone else, feel free to chime in… I’m replacing the tired slobberjet with a new Holley 4175 Q-jet style unit. It has an electric choke. I need a suggestion of where to look for...- Disco
