    CARBURETOR DATED

    I have drain back issues but i think mine are due to the diaphram on the fuel pump, the fuel lines are empty after a couple days. I put a fuel line check valve before my fuel nipple in the hose honestly no idea if its doing much or not but i thought it seemed to hold better Cranking first...

    Replacing DVOM batteries

    mine was okay on that, i just used some duracell power boost or some other marketing hype, they have lines on them, the only double A we have lol Which I verified were alkaline, apparently youre only supposed to use alkaline because of the operating voltage is different, not sure how much that...

    Column Gear Shift Detent

    if you put your shifter all the way down into the most "right" gear, then push the gear shifter forward, you can walk the shifter one at a time through the individual gear range options, having to let up to move to the next one. the transmission has detents but they are not strong/apparent when...

    CARBURETOR DATED

    I forgot which Intake I have but it was only square bore im pretty sure, To aid the heat thing, you can get a heat shield for radiant heat, use it with a phenolic spacer, and insulate the fuel line where its hot, and like you said a return line all help. A small pusher pump to keep the fuel...

    Door Gap

    You seem to got it now, but the top of the frame simply looks like it just needed some encouraging. You can kinda see where it "bends" to go to far in. To just be thorough, do you have the door seals on the flange, and do you have the auxillary strip that runs across the top part of the door...

    CARBURETOR DATED

    Can op show us your setup? a stock iron manifold for a qjet with an adapter with the 1406, it would be easy to put a ASV2 on since it will still be a spreadbore intake. But if its a square bore intake, keeping your 1406 is easier because its easy to rebuild/tune and you already have it. What...

    Can you take a picture of the carburetor without the air filter on right before you crank it up? Then set the filter on, then attempt to start how you have been normally trying to, and report results

    Front end noise

    if you werent in LOC then having a slight delay itself may not be an issue but the speed difference may not be odd.. you had all 4 in the air right? If you put it in LOC then you would get matched speeds?

    Sirius/XM "Roady" with original GM truck radio

    It looks like any cassette adapter with a 3.5mm (maybe 2.5mm?) jack could work in place of the original? The only 2 things about casette adapters: 1) A delco radio with auto-reverse DOES NOT LIKE these, it will keep attempting to reverse the tape, which obviously doesnt do anything. 2) They...
