I don't think that truck was originally carbureted. The sensors on that engine are for a TBI truck. The one in the intake manifold... -
RRicko1966 reacted to Alaska 79 K-10's post in the thread 454 long block replacement and associated sensor issues with Like.
The key is to match the sensors to your gauges, or warning lights. Use the senders your truck calls for. It doesn't matter what the...

RI guess I never knew any better, as I shifted my sm420 just fine in many different types conditions and scenarios, that I never knew the...

RWith the sm420 you're using 2nd gear as 1st for 99.99% of all takeoffs. The Saginaw 4 speeds, and 3 speeds do have desirable 1st gear...

RFor a fun driver, I personally would much rather have a trans with a 1st gear that is ideal at all times, as opposed to one gear that is...

RRicko1966 replied to the thread OEM cylinder head castings - 1977 K10.Yep, you are 100 percent right. And when I'd ask them which double humps? They'd look at me and say double humps and I say which double...

RRicko1966 replied to the thread Accel HEI Super Coil (140003) Magic or Trash.Doesn't that unit fit right over the top of a factory HEI cap, replacing the factory girdle? I think so in which case I'd by a new cap...

RRicko1966 replied to the thread OEM cylinder head castings - 1977 K10.Yep but in post 21 he specifically said he didn't want heads that had specific give away markings like double humps. The way 21 is...

RBut, they would be a period-correct modification though.

R^^^Holy rusted metal, Batman!^^^ I didn't know we could even make a post that long.

RRicko1966 replied to the thread OEM cylinder head castings - 1977 K10.186s would definitely not be original to a 1977 k they would be 70-72 lt-1 and would have double humps which would be a give away as he...
