    1988 IROC-Z

    When we went to California for the power trip concert we got pulled over twice in the camaro for no front license plate by DPS. Once on the way while I was driving and once on the way back while she was driving. Lol Had a custom chevy plate on it that I engraved. They were both cool about it...

    Want to build a good horsepower, good fuel economy engine for a 1978 c20 with stock 350. I don't know much and need help.

    This is what I'd recommend for you to get better performance and not break the bank with your skill set should be able to do the most of the work yourself. When I first got my truck it had an old 305 in it. I got an edelbrock performer intake for I believe under 200 bucks. If you have a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'll ask him tomorrow. It made a huge difference for mine. It was really stiff before and now it's perfect. I'm guessing he'd need the measurements from firewall to cable bracket. All the new ones I've bought for it were 24" and was way too long.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Gave them a bath and cleaned out the leaves in the beds. So much better looking out of a clean windshield. Lol Cleaned all the atf that leaked out from the th350 core I had in the bed. Then took it to AZ to get a rear view mirror and window crank for passenger side. I see why the po...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The 2 doors for the 82. No rust, electric windows and locks everything is there. Even door panels are not too bad. If they were blue it'd be perfect. Lol

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The 84 is home with new starter, led lights working properly and new smooth a$$ throttle cable. It got rid of that loop that made it hard to press the gas pedal. If anyone has that same issue I can get one like this from him if any of y'all want one. He custom made it to fit right.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yesterday was a great day for my squares. The 84 is ready to be picked up today from the shop and I scored two sweet doors for the 82 that I picked up after work. It's so hard to find good parts around the Houston area anymore. This guy has a couple of squares in his yard he's parting out. He's...

    Truck stopped idling after fuel ran out.

    I have an edelbrock on my 84 that wouldn't idle either. Found out it was getting too much air. So screwed the air/fuel mixture screws on the front of the carb all the way in. Then backed out one and a half turns. Had to play with them a little but now it idles much better. Idk if that is your...

    Carb Swap?

    Yeah they're great! I called them when looking for a quadrajet. He was very helpful and asked what I was planning to do to the engine. I told him a cam, intake and hedders. That's when he recommended that one and I've been really happy with it. I was thinking about getting another one for the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mechanic texted saying the 84 caprice starter worked and was way cheaper. Now I'm really mad at myself for missing that post because I would have tried it. Oh well, he's fixing a couple other things too fir me. Lol

    Carb Swap?

    I paid a little over 300 for a stage 2 quadrajet from national carburetors in Florida. Stage 2 is fir a motor with cam, intake and hedders. They tune it for you so it's ready to go right out the box. That guy will save you about 100 bucks to rebuild it. Score!

    Carb Swap?

    @Paladin would be Proud of you! Lol

    Carb Swap?

    Yup, I had an edelbrock carb that got pitched in the trash and a nice new quadrajet took its place. Couldn't be happier. And when I pulled the 305 and put in a 454 the quadrajet was put on it and it never missed a lick. Best carb for our trucks imo.
