72 Monte Carlo project
Great project! I'm a HUGE Monte fan. I've owned 3 total, including an '86 SS. My first CAR was a '76 that was one of my fav's of all that I owned. I've never owned a 1st gen , but would love a 1st gen SS with either the LS5 or 402!- mtbadbob

Az Square
Welcome from Montana! Great score on the truck! Looks very clean & solid, aside from some damaged sheetmetal that can easily be replaced. I'm a huge fan of a 455 Olds, would also love to see some pic's of it and the heads stamping! Ok, pertaining to that little steering wheel, I'm going to throw...- mtbadbob

New to the square body scene
Welcome from Montana. I, too, am a Q-Jet man. I've rebuilt several & have had great luck with them. Make sure you check the play on the throttle shaft, because if it's wore out, it'll suck in air and to my knowledge, you'll have to ****-can it. The carb numbers on the side tell the story...- mtbadbob

2.5" Skyjacker final thoughts
I did a pair of Rough Country 2" Add A Leafs up front, 1" spacer blocks and new u- bolts in rear. About perfect 2" lift with slight rake. The ride is pretty good, but it is a 3/4" ton. Also, shorty trucks will be a bit more "bucky-feeling" in ride because of their short wheel base- mtbadbob

1987 Fresh Air Intake
I believe the TBI snorkel tubes are a bit longer because the air cleaner housing locks down onto the TB in a certain position, where the carburated versions were canted more toward the front. On my '87, I tried a snorkel from a different year, and it was a little too short to connect to the core...- mtbadbob

What have you done to your square lately??
Well, at least you didn't have -20 like we did. That is crazy, my wife & I were watching the world news and saw all the southern states that got snow. Welsome to my world! :laughing1: ;) -

Odd Cooling System issue
The new "Fail-safe" T-stats "fail" OPEN! My mechanic buddy is NAPA Certified Repair, but WILL NOT use their t-stats for this exact reason. A co-worker of mine was having this issue on his '89 Blazer and I told him to change the stat as I thought it was stuck open, even though he said "It's...- mtbadbob

87 V10 Custom Deluxe TBI Issues
Can you give me more info on the resistor, & where it goes? I think I read somewhere that it is soldered between injector power wires?? My truck is missing the pump, and I cannot get it to stop over-fueling at idle.- mtbadbob
