    Glove box lock

    EVERYONE QUIET!!! Its official. The nays were wrong, I have the receipts. Although this is for Australian right hand drive, its technically true that squares came with locking gloveboxes. STANDARD! in australia! In 1978. also look at this, wet paper filter: Imagine how weird that would be...

    Glove box lock

    memories can be blurry especially with how thick rose colored glasses get. Not saying hes lying but that the lock being there now, and him owning the truck since new, its far easier for his memory to be persuaded it was always there rather than in 1983 someone stole things out of the cab and...

    Problematic Starting - rotate crank before starter engages?

    I hear the starter spinning and based on the speed it sounds like your are correct. on a small motor where its visible this is even more distinct. Bad battery connections(Id like to see or get a visual/view of all your battery cables, your setup looks like stock+ which may not cut the cheese...

    Alternator amps

    So unfortunaterly, slighhtly, you have a rarer belt setup. Could you send a picture of your belt drive, I want to see if its the narrow looking serpentine like belt or if its the normal width kind.

    Windshield washer motor questions

    if you didnt know, the 85+ trucks i believe used a wiper hose on the arms instead of at the cowl to spray the fluid, if you wanted that type, a simple upgrade to the side hook wiper arms with the hoses on them gets you that uprade. As far as if its a big upgrade, depends. I personally like the...

    Taller tires for my 1976 K20

    I wish It could have been gotten to around the time I was born, 1998, because it would have only been sitting for 6 years according to that plate tag, and it would have had a chance. Same with the 1980 cutlass... other than running poorly nothing stopped it from being repaired in 2003 and it...

    Alternator amps

    Fully agree. If it wasnt for the added weight on the v belt style brackets could potentially cause twisting on tbe brackets, id say go right for a ad244 lol. If one decides to do that, probably best to include a 3rd way to brace the alternator from the rear to the head/block/water pump lol

    Does your alternator look like this And does your belt for that only go around the crank, water pump, and is tensioned by the alternator?

    Windshield washer motor questions

    There was a factory TSB about the driver side shooting faster than passenger (unprimed and shorter distance to the end) and also the driver side dribbling out on hard turns. Do you have the squirters on the wiper arms or mounted on the hood? (im guessing arms)

    Alternator amps

    Switching to a CS130 (stock option on 1987 trucks, not sure about 1986) would almost certainly fix your issue and give you a better alternator. Do you have V belts or a small "serpentine like" belt or a serpentine belt?

    Instrument Cluster Installation

    If the rest of the cluster fits nice and tight, then you have a few options. Bend the tabs to allow it to sit in further or make a spacer of sorts for that one , and use a longer screw if needed. I would do that since a small stackof washers can find you how large it needs to be,then cut a piece...

    Taller tires for my 1976 K20

    One of these days Ill a wheel off my 1975 grand am and dismount the tire(if im lucky there already is a tire popped off a rim while it sinking in the ground!) That car was one of the first production cars to run radials , in a year which most tires were bias ply. If I have a similar wheel...

    Also, if your reservoir and pump didnt come with it, you can install a check valve in the hoses by the pump in order to keep the lines "primed" so there is less delay from the beginning of the spray when using the pump for the first time in a litle while.
