    Help with starting 79 k20 400SBC

    Welcome from Austria. Is it tdc or could it be that timing is 180° off? Add some advance, around 8-12. Choke is set up right? Idle mixture screws have a base setting? Spark plug cables are in the right order? Check everything and if all is right try to start again.

    Welcome from Austria. Watch some episodes of Stay Tuned, Vice Grip Garage, Finnegan's Garage or Roadkill. There are many shows that show how to revive a car that sat for decades.

    Hello From NorCal

    You have a truck without catalytic converter. The stickers vary with years, if it is a truck with catalytic converter it would be on the sticker. Your AIR system has to work. Make an emission test then you know if your system works or what needs to be fixed.

    Hello From NorCal

    Yes the sticker on the air cleaner or on top of the radiator support. If it is a truck with catalytic converter the word CATALYST is very prominent on the decal. Or NON CATALYST.

    VEGE Torque Converters?

    It's a company founded in the Netherlands. They do remanufacturing for like 80 years and are owned by LKQ which is an American company. Reviews look good on Summit, I would go for one.

    Can anyone identify this rubbing noise?

    Separately. It's just 2 bearings, 2 bearing races and the inner seal per side. Go to your local auto part store and get quality bearings.

    2 piece driveshaft needed

    2 piece driveshafts for C20 trucks with Th400 are made on order from Dorman at Rockauto. For C10/C15 I only saw 1 piece drive shafts. Junk yard and rebuild or local shop. Or someone here has one 4 sale.

    Carb help? (With pictures)

    Welcome from Austria. When starting with the engine cold the choke plate should be closed. Step on the accelerator before cranking and the choke plate should close.

    Yes. The pressure was always 2-3 psi higher as rated.

    CARBURETOR DATED

    I had luck with Carter pumps, all working without flaw. Fuel pressure ratings and real pressure is not matching most of the time. That's why I run fuel pressure regulators.
