    TPI parts worth swapping?

    If your plans don't include anything above a stock type 305/350. I definitely wouldn't run one on the factory pcm these days. There are to many aftermarket alternatives that are way better than the Ole OBD1 stuff. They are a nightmare to try an tune for anything modified, if you can find anyone...

    TPI parts worth swapping?

    Look up the distributor an see what is all about, it might change your mind. They work well an are used on lots of high end stuff. If you want to use it on a holley ecu it's plug an play. You can certainly go with one in the timing cover but they take much more effort to setup an get right in...

    Dakota Digital VHX ?

    Good tip on the reinforcement of the bracket. I'll definitely do that on my RTXs, they were way to expensive for anything to break on them lol

    TPI parts worth swapping?

    The dual sync distributor has a cam and crank sensor in it. You can get a flat cap for it when using it only for the sensors. No need to change the timing cover an add the sensor there with it! I honestly want the coils on the VC so people go wtf? The self tuning is decent but it's only for the...

    TPI parts worth swapping?

    My eventual plan with mine is to go to LS coils using the Dual Sync distributor. It will also be sequential injection instead of batch fire like the oe system. There are lots of benefits to a modern control and holley has a harness to run a tpi injection with a terminator so it really doesn't...

    Dakota Digital VHX ?

    Usually something like this. My shop is about to release a bracket for mounting. It will hold the box vertical instead though. This is right behind the gauges too since it's kind of a close up picture

    TPI parts worth swapping?

    I have a setup that I'm going to run on a vortec headed 383 with a holley terminator. Hoping for a nice big flat torque curve out of it... I gave about 150 for the whole thing. Unfortunately the vortec lower was $400...

    Nv3500 to older sbc

    Use the flywheel to match your engine. The clutch disc an pressure plate needs to match the trans.

    New daily driver

    Baby got some new shoes this week! Probably shouldn't have but I saw them on market place an went to grab them. Water leak has been banished so far. I was given a lower diffuser in a carbon fiber look that I just put on too. Not to sure how I feel about that one yet. I like the look but not the...

    Mine got some new shoes today. It's not much of a daily lately though lol.

    Opinions + Pictures needed on a 2/4 drop for a C10

    My opinion do the spindle (squarebody spindles are 2.5" too btw), the spring you like but cut 1 coil off for another 2". Flip kit in the back, this will be less work and only slightly lower than your planning right now. If the flip kit is to low you can always add a lift shackle to get the rear...

    C10 73-80 inner fenders swap for 81-91

    Yes it can be done. On a 4/6 it will just about remove the rubbing in that area with a 27.7" tire (245/40/20). A real big dip or pothole might cause a slight rub still. 5/7 it will help but not eliminate it. You'll have to redrill the holes where it attaches to the core support an open some up...

    Suspension issues - which new upgrage to buy

    Not really they are all about the same, just pickup the one you can find in stock somewhere for the best price lol. We generally have the western chassis ones on hand though.

    Precision Vent Window Program

    It all should go into the door, none of it should overlap to the outside.

    Precision Vent Window Program

    I will say I haven't had a set of the LMC windows to look at but based on the quality of their rubber I've seen/used in the past I would send a factory set for refurbishment instead of "new" ones everytime. I have seen several 63-72 aftermarket vent window sets an they are not the same level of...

    Precision Vent Window Program

    We've had 2 sets of 73-87 done an 3 sets of 67-72 at precision. Very happy with the results an as long as you check ahead an plan accordingly for the lead time it's a smooth process. I have a set to send for my personal truck too eventually.

    Suspension issues - which new upgrage to buy

    No you need to get a picture like the one below. If the axle is low like that then it's a stock spindle.

    Best quality, complete lowering package '84 2wd 1/2 ton short wide with TBD wheel/tire combo?

    I just put my standard lowering formula here in post #9. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/suspension-issues-which-new-upgrage-to-buy.35665/#post-731829 Don't get hung up on a pre-made kit. Most of them have a compromise in them that isn't the best way to go imo.

    Suspension issues - which new upgrage to buy

    It may be hard to photograph but look at the back side of the spindle where the axle is pressed into the knucle casting. If it's down by the lower ball joint then it's a stock spindle. If it's closer to the upper it's a lowering spindle. Coilovers are not a bad option but their ride quality is...

    Suspension issues - which new upgrage to buy

    This is my formula for a decent riding lowered square, it won't ride like a caddy but everyone I've done the customer is always pleased with the out come an I believe they ride better than stock setup like this. For the front start with a drop spindle. They don't alter suspension or shock...

    Sniper EFI on 292

    On a square don't buy the master kit. Spend that money on an 87 tank and sending unit an put a 96 model pump on it. In tank is way better for reliability, I like my sniper, I recommend them but I'm about to stop working on them for other people/offering advice if I don't install it. They don't...

    77 c10 lower control arm problem

    I believe where the joint presses in is the same size. You should be able to put a 1/2 ton joint right in there. I've seen people say they do it to run 1/2 ton spindles to make them 5 lug.

    C10 Revival Oaksboro N.C. Oct.22-23

    I was there but was unable to bring my truck. It was bigger than last year for sure, but I haven't seen the final count. I wouldn't doubt it was in the 9-1000 range
