    This is all great, but any guidance for the original issue?

    You are correct, but in 1987 they switched to the V/R designation from the older C/K series and did that until 1991 from what I know. I know the history but I ain't any good of a mechanic lol

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    Most everything else common has been gone through, though it is a fairly tired little engine. make's around 35 p oil pressure. plugs, wires, cap, rotor, haven't vacc tested, bought the tool though. the used Edelbrock I got came off a running dodge magnum so not too worried about that. All good...

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    There's an older Holly manifold around, could it work to just pair this Edel and set it on top of my .305?

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    I have a 1986 K10 with a .305 and a VERY trash quadrajet that had an attempted rebuild. Just bought a used Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm to start over. I know I need an adapter, what what one? I've heard #5765 or #2696 as useable adapters, but can anyone confirm? And is there anything else that needs...

    What size is my fuel tank?

    I watched it as I filled it the last time, and it really blows out from around the unit, makes little gazers then runs down the sides of the tank. I bought I seal already. someone's already cut a hole in the floor over the tank so that helps.

    What size is my fuel tank?

    It's a gas 350 V1500, I'll go out and measure it now. Issue now I found totally separate from this is that the tank leaks a ton out of the top when I fill it up! Sender unit or seal? More $$$ either way...

    What size is my fuel tank?

    On the dash its marked "suburban SLE" if that's any indication.

    What size is my fuel tank?

    I'd still like to figure it out for other reasons, When I filled it up to the max it was leaking out of the top! So some replacement parts may be in order.

    What size is my fuel tank?

    On my 90' suburban I'm trying to figure out my tank size for helping calculate my mpg, but I cant figure out if its a 36, 38, 40 or something else. is there a definite way of telling?

    Finally have this girl home, now what?

    Yes, all VERY good things, Since the truck was so cheap, I can afford to put money into it. Yes the speedo reads 5-7 too high. The upper and lower front left ball joints where replaced, I know that can be a factor messing stuff up, probably needs a good alignment?
