    What have you done to your square lately??

    Debugging my AC problems

    For the fan. Do the obvious first. Check all the fuses. Including the one inline on the firewall coming off the junction block just to the pass side of the brake booster. Then head over to the reference section and download the wiring diagram and start chasing wires. Not a super complex circuit...

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    The tube coming out the side is a vacuum port that goes to the air cleaner thermo switch that controls the heat stove valve.

    Carb help? (With pictures)

    Bilsteins 5100 on 75 k10. Rear shock mounting fit issues

    As I recall, which is getting harder as the years go by, the frame holes for the rear shock studs are 5/8". So ya a 16MM would be the right size.

    Rear body mounts for a 74 k20

    I've always done one side at a time. All left. Then all right. That way you're tilting the body side to side and not putting too much stress between cab and fender as that's exactly where the fenders rip on Blazers and burbs when you wheel them hard.

    73-75 k5 hard top seal

    In the Reference Library forum there is a sticky post with all the service manuals. Pretty sure the 73 is there. I know the 74 (where that pic is from) and the 75 supplement are. I actually have the 74 and 75 manuals but the PDFs are super convenient print what you need and if you get them...
