    Summit Brand Headers???

    I bought a set of their long tube ceramic coated ones and couldn't get them to fit on a 77 K10

    Hellooo, from da North

    Hello from Regina! There's a youtube video where a guy used an adjustable receiver hitch and adapted it to fit between the front framerails.

    Magnetic Block Heaters, Gas Engine?

    In my experience the magnetic oil pan heaters are not as effective as coolant heaters, but are better than no heater at all.

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    I only have experience with the flowtech and the summit long tube headers. The collector flanges on both were not past the shackle. I don't have a pic but my flowtech fit like the ones in John's pic above.

    Fan blade

    I see you found one but I just wanted to put it out there in case someone else is in that boat in the future that Speedway Motors also has a good selection of non clutch belt driven cooling fans, I got one there for the SBC powered willys jeep. I got to pick the pitch, diameter, blade type etc

    The squeaking is getting on my last nerves

    Did you use urethane bushings or rubber bushings? I've heard that the urethane ones can be loud if not sufficiently greased on installation.

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    You've been fortunate. The headers I bought were correct for the application but were a bit crooked where the collector was welded on. Resulting in the driveshaft being in the way.

    Just curious, if is this a completely all brand new carburetor, why do they need a core back?

    Rochester Quadrajet Woes

    I just did this last week on my '77. You are correct, there is a ground wire and a power wire, which was recommended to connect to the wiper motor wire. And of course the electric choke itself which mounts to the manifold. Nothing needs to be changed vacuum wise. I had been having choke problems...

    Kobalt vs dewalt for a sawzall

    Have the Dewalt 20v chain saw, it's been very handy for small jobs but goes thru batteries more quickly than the recip saw

    Kobalt vs dewalt for a sawzall

    I use the Dewalt 20v reciprocating saw, with 6ah batteries, no issues at all

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    Just wanted to update this thread, I wound up installing Flowtech long tube headers which fit great, and a Thrush dual exhaust kit which included mufflers. The exhaust kit needed modification, but the truck now sounds great, way quieter and far more enjoyable to drive.

    Need help identifying this metal line coming out the back of my carburetor

    Not needed if your brakes don't have a vacuum boost.
