    Cab Removal Questions

    Getting to the stage in my project where I need to remove the cab from frame and get it on a rotisserie, which is the style that would (on a car) mount to the front and rear frame mounts on the underside of the body. Figure I can just shorten the tube between the rotisserie uprights and mount to...

    Wanted Cruise Control Rod/Link

    Looking for the rod/link that goes from the cruise control vacuum servo to quadrajet, for mid 80s 350 sbc, appears to need to be around 8 to 8.5 inches in total length. Not sure if they made that link that long, but the approx 7 inch long link that I got at some point (not original) is too short.

    PS Pump Differences

    Hello, just wondering if there are any noticeable differences between power steering pumps used on a 1987 3/4 ton 4x4 (350 V8) compared to a pump used on an 83 3/4 ton 4x4 (350 V8)? Looks like the 1983 pump has PN 7839797 and the 1987 is 26003927. I have the 87 pump and would like to use it on...

    AC Conversion Questions

    Thanks. I did find the Ester oil recommendation when searching this site and will be using that. I'm resealing the A6 compressor and will be using Ester oil when lubricating things during reassembly. I've thought about getting an AC machine to avoid issues with Ester oil and PAG oil if I take...

    AC Conversion Questions

    Hey folks, converting the old R12 system to R134a and I've searched a lot on this site and had some of my questions answered, but have these two remaining. 1. Orifice tube. It's normally suggested to replace the tube. If I look in the ACDelco online catalog, I see several orifice tubes that are...

    What is this??

    Is the TRC system not used if the truck is equipped with AC? I think the AC solenoid for increasing idle speed when the AC is on is located in the same area of a quadrajet.

    TRC Actuator and Air Conditioning Solenoid Question

    I have a 1983 3/4 ton with 350 V8 and heavy duty emissions that has the throttle return control (TRC) system with a vacuum actuator at the carb. I want to add air conditioning to the truck, which would mean adding the AC solenoid to the carb to increase engine speed above idle when AC is on. I...

    Heartthrob 4WD Dual Exhaust

    Merry Christmas everyone! Anyone installed a Heartthrob manifold back dual exhaust on a 4WD truck with the wavy-style crossmember? I think they started using that crossmember in 1987, a little different than the "W" crossmember used on 1985-86. Maybe I'm trying to do something that's not...
