    Air Cleaner Fitting - PCV?

    You could sandwich some washers and rtv to take up space in the hole in the air cleaner housing and save the plastic doohickey in the toolbox junk drawer.

    Exactly

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I found some 8 lead Telcom wire in the mess and I think it will work as well as fit into the provided cavity. I'll make it a little longer so i can have a little leeway in how it goes back together. Lol, I said that this other column was cleaner. I mean clean as in all there and not all wobbly.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, it is the PNW. So, I'm sure it's somewhere in between. Fished the cruise wire out and thinking about how I'm going to fix this with what I have laying around. This column has something beyond just the screws being loose under the tilt mechanism. The shaft flops around, not the housing...

    Can the heater core be turned off?

    You could put a shutoff on each outlet of the core and build a crossover out of flush tees and hose. But probably easier to just use a little tubing to clamp each hose to its friend and call it good. Just depends on how complicated you are willing to make the plumbing.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Anyone have or use one of these? I may be needing one of these with the column project. I won't get one unless I need to, but wondering what others have to say about it. Not like it breaks banks or anything.... but $11 is $11 worthless dollars.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I knew this column was going to be a booger. Someone broke the column lock because they didn't have the key and were too lazy to disassemble it to remove the lock cylinder. Got down to here and came to the conclusion that this is going to be a big time sink with probably less than desirable...

    Brake light keeps going out

    Pretty sure an LS swap has become a meme. I'm in the turn signal switch camp on this one. The nubbins in the bulb socket should be looked at closely too.

    1973-1980 Tailgate Trim

    Will the hub bearings still get lube if the axles are removed on a 14 bolt assembly? For some reason it seems to me that the spinning shafts help draw fresh lube out from the pumpkin. Truth or just this bowl talking? Oh, I can vouch for a '79 Silverado having the monster band.

    Car Hauler tips/tricks/ideas

    This idea is going on the square, so I can winch my 2 wheel drive a$$ out of something if I need to. More for moving stuff around or out in inclement weather and get into trouble than any wheeling action. Wife's hardbody is for that, which needs a front receiver treatment as well. If I get a...

    A welcome from the area upriver from Astoria!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Someone swapped in a newer model column and it never has worked correctly. Brother has one that looks to be period correct but needs some love. So tonight seems as good as any to start removing the wrong column. I want to install the correct version so I have a solid place to disassemble it...

    Quadrajet Filter Spring

    The detail.... man that's exactly how I remember it too with the high end cars having filters that faced forwards and yes, the sintered filter elements in that kind of copper color. Aww man, those memory cells enjoyed the exercise, thanks. Lol

    Gas pedal is too far away for me

    If you can get the seat issue to correct this problem, that's best. If you decide you need some on-pedal extensions, be extra sure whatever you use is secured properly. Nothing brings on ultra pucker power like something between the floor and the pedal wanting to be depressed. Edit - looking...

    Quadrajet Filter Spring

    IIRC (which is always in question these days) the short filter used a spring and the long one didn't. That's 60+ year old memory for ya.
