    '77 C10 350/TH350 ignition problem

    I used a combination of the video above, and this video Both are replacing the same thing, the steering shaft U-joint, but it covered what I needed. However, both videos missed putting in the inner race on the outer bearing during reassembly. Didn't film it I guess. Also, for some reason...

    '77 C10 350/TH350 ignition problem

    Thanks. Tilt pins are out (assuming these are the pressed in ones. I made a makeshift puller with an 8-32 bolt, wingnut and a 13mm socket), lock cylinder is out, sector gear is out. I even got the broken rack out. I unscrewed the tilt lever when he did, prior to removing the sector gear and...

    '77 C10 350/TH350 ignition problem

    So I have been using this video to get an idea of what I have to take apart It's a later model than my '77 but I don't know what year. He's got his wipers and dimmer switch on the column which I don't have. I got as far as 5:30. Took out the tilt spring. I cannot seem to get the collar...

    '77 C10 350/TH350 ignition problem

    Thank you. Part number helps a lot. I'll just follow the video I found and if I gotta keep taking stuff apart, I'll just keep going.

    '77 C10 350/TH350 ignition problem

    Thanks. Does anyone have a good youtube tutorial for this? I looked but could only find a video for a later model. I searched some threads here for ignition rack, it seems like people are describing taking more apart than the guy did in the video I found. Though I couldn't really tell...

    '77 C10 350/TH350 ignition problem

    Hi all. Have an ignition problem I don't know how to solve on my 77 C10 with tilt steering. I replaced the ignition switch a few months ago. The other day at a store, I got in to go home and the key turned all the way, no ignition. So I had to unmount the switch and manually operate it. Got...

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    Looks like I will be testing the warranty. Coolant in the oil, and rod knock again.

    Got me puzzled to say the least

    Does the vacuum advance work as it should?

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    I picked it up today. The AC is recharged, will have to wait and see if any leaks out. If it does, I will probably take it to the guy who installed my conversion. It's hard to start, and I replaced the battery the first time I picked it up. Also idle is set pretty high (by ear, I don't have a...

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    Over the last almost 15years I guess, I have been finding it difficult to find anyone who does anything right anymore. A couple of times I've had good people doing good work, but few and far between. If I were in a different position, I would've done it myself, but I'm also having trouble...

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    Yeah, no one cares anymore. I work on it myself otherwise, I just don't have the means at the moment for something like this. I picked it up Friday and it's still leaking from the same spot. I also discovered the ac lines were probably cut during removal or re-install because it doesn't blow...

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    Didn't realize this thread had legs. I ended up looking around for a shop, picked the most well known in town, Texon because they do the removal and install and offer a 3yr/36 if they do. I'm not 51, not 15, didn't grow up working on cars and have done plenty of jobs on my cars and truck that...

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere to work on it, or a hoist, so I've got to get it done at a shop.

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    I've got a 77 c10 with the 350/350. Seems I had an oil leak that went unnoticed since my pressure gauge inside read fine and I had no spots on the ground, so crank bearings are toast. I don't have a space or tools to work on rebuilding it myself, so if anyone has any leads for either shops in...
