    Clear coating over patina: anybody done it?

    Made a huge difference with my 85...Used a Milwaukee orbital polisher, and polish, then carnuba wax. I plan to wax it at least twice a year maybe more. Only takes an hour, and uses 1/4 the wax, makes ya feel good, doin' the ol' truck right.

    Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI

    I use seafoam in anything that will not get used on a regular basis like generators, pumps. My fire control pump was giving me fits, took it to a guy that repairs small engines that i've known for a long time. He said use sea foam, and I have been doing that, nothing worse than having a fire...

    Th350 spews fluid

    I used this when I rebuilt my 350, as there was a bunch of broken parts. I like that this will screw right onto your lines, and flush the whole system. Then just blow out with compressed air.

    This is a coolant leak right?

    Took my 86 rad to get it fixed, but was bad corroded, many tiny holes. Your truck looks like it does not have air, so very easy to fix. I bought a new rad through the shop that I took my radiator to, about $570, but with care, should out last me.

    Valve seals for camel hump heads?

    ChuckN, the enforcer heads use the same components as the higher priced heads, top notch. I used David Vizards book porting small block chevy heads on a set of 194's, that was 30 years ago. Still got the engine, still runs awesome, and I am the type of guy that can't keep my foot out of it, the...

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    The last four engines I have built all had flat tappat cams. I have had zero problems I’ve used Crower and Iske that doesn’t mean that Comp, Howard and Lunati are no good. It’s absolutely how you put it together and how you break it in. Pay attention to installed height, measure each spring...

    Radiator condenser combo.

    Well momma and I are disappointed that we will not be able to take the 85 to Kentucky to move my niece back to WA. Just not enough time to get everything fixed, the tank wiring is all messed up, and with Air, the dash is full oh ducting, hard to trace the wires. I did replace the rocker switch...

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Not having fun with the fuel system as the PO really did a number on the wiring underneath, but I think I got the new switch in right. Reinstalled all the dash but the pad, put in LED bulbs, brightened it up dramatically. I have to install the switching valve, and the tanks. I am using the old...

    Radiator condenser combo.

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    More done, trying to figure out the fuel switch wiring. My bro helped me test the original switch, and it was bad. Gas tanks ready to go, but holding until the wiring is completed. Can't get enough wiggle room to get the instrument panel to trace the wires. The 73 I can pull it out far enough to...
