    86 K20 4x4 350 Holly Carb - Crank, No Start

    Hey there, any luck? I am experiencing a similar issue with your shutoff and no restart. See my thread on the description of the problem in greater detail, but in short: I was driving and then it shutoff on me. Took several tries to crank it and restart. Then at home I started it and let it...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    So on 4/4/24, after getting everything all hooked up again, I started it up. Goal was to just let it idle, I did not drive it at all. Initial start up of just turning the key wouldn't keep her running. I had to give it throttle (like before) to get it to start. While running, it seemed to...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    Last night on 4/4/24 I addressed another looming concern. This "terminal block" seems to have been done by one of the owners. It was a piece of wood somehow connected to a piece of rubber with studs going through it. Seeing the wood with burn marks on it scared the crap out of me and I never...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    Another update: Unfortunately the problem seems to persist. I made the repairs outlined in this post and the next post. I also verified that there aren't any other wires that I can see with exposed wire showing through the insulation. Someone mentioned the orange/black wire for the 440...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    Just wanted to provide an update. I haven't had much time to work on this. I finished getting another car roadworthy so I have some transportation. My mechanic thinks it is the distributor. He suggested to wait until better weather to do it. I noticed my battery was dated from March 2018...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    Just so this thread isn't entirely a wall of text This is the vehicle in question. Taken in 2019 when I had a similar no electrical power issue. I bought another set of identical wheels and powdercoated them black. Thats about the only visual difference.

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    ICM was replaced 2 days prior to incident, but I'm sure it could be a bad one out of the box. Damn I'm really hoping it's not the pick up coil. I'm just not confident doing the distributor, I've never done one. I know it's just nuts/bolts and aligning/inserting it correctly, but there's...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    Normally, no I don't recall blowing an ECM fuse. Originally when I got it in 2018 I had loose, live wires that blew some radio fuse but not ECM. Since addressing those, I've not had any issues with blowing fuses. I also drove it home perfectly fine after the shutoff incident, however I will...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    First time it shutoff going downhill it was 1/4. I usually fill up at the 1/4 tank mark anyway, as I mainly drive this on the highway. I thought that being too low on gas maybe it sucked up some air in the lines. This is because I got a 40 gallon tank and I'm not sure if factory was the 31...

    Vehicle shutoff while driving

    INCIDENT LOG 11/20/2023 I was driving the vehicle in stop and go traffic to get it inspected. It ran normally, temps/oil pressure were normal operating parameters. Gas gauge said 1/4 tank full. Drove downhill, not a steep grade by any means, and the vehicle shut off. It did not sputter...

    Equal - Tire Balancing Beads, No weights to Lose

    Just to provide an update, my tires are pretty nice. Annoyed that I caught a nail literally 1 week into having this setup. But most of my driving is highway, and this is a smooth setup. I use this mainly to go upstate so it's about 90 miles highway and 5 on gravel/dirt. It's smooth even...
