Quick background, its my 77 k10 with an 86 305, carter carb and hei ignition I know basically nothing about the motor, I bought the truck, parked it and only started it a few times to move it around the property. It will fire right up but with rough idle ...

    What do you call this panel?

    What do you call this panel?

    The structural steel part of the dash. The reason I ask is I want to replace my 78's with a 79 unit and I'm not sure if there is a raised section on the 79 unit where the vin would have been and would it interfere with my 78 dash pad?

    What do you call this panel?

    What do you call the panel that's under the dash pad and holds the instrument cluster. I'm calling it a dash panel but get zero info about it when I search for it. And are they basically the same between 78 and 79?

    In need of a DA sander advice

    I need to start stripping the paint off some bedsides and started looking at da's. The main difference I noticed is the cfm's they use. I assume the more cfm's the more power it has, but it would also need to match your compressors cfm output. My compressor puts out 7.6 cfm at 90psi so I...

    Re-popped Bumpers

    I was just looking at bumpers on AMD's site and they say it weighs 35 pounds...seems light to me but I'll have to weigh one this weekend. I've heard they are pretty nice, but I can't confirm.

    Deciphering Engine Plate

    It's pretty hard to see but it's on the top of the block basically behind the driver side valve cover. I've used the camera on my phone and blindly take pic's until I capture it.

    Looks like the rains will be letting up today so I'll just pull the old one now. Thank you all for the advice

    Quick Question about coolant temperature senders/ sensors

    How does one find that information? I haven't seen it offered on any of the sensors I've looked at.

    Quick Question about coolant temperature senders/ sensors

    My sender is bad and needs replacing, I need to order one but don't want to pull the old one until I have the new one in hand (and it stops raining) but I see they have two sizes, 1/2"-14 and 3/8"-18. Is there any way to tell which one it could be? the motor is a 86 warranty 350 block in my 85...

    fuel delivery issues ain't getting none

    It funny but that boss for the bolt must not be drilled thru to the rod as there is no bolt in it and no oil seepage. Maybe because it's a 86 warranty block? Well it's in and working great, but now the 5/16 return line is spraying gas out of cracks in the line. never saw them till now, so...

    fuel delivery issues ain't getting none

    Well I'm sitting here waiting for the rain to stop before I get the new pump on, and was thinking.....If the old pump was weak, would that explain why the carb bowl is empty? Is it possible that it was only pumping enough to get it to run, then when it sits for any period of time what little is...

    You can buy new fuel doors. Blew my mind.

    The doors are readily available, it's a recessed bedside patch panel that the door closes into thats not made. But I swore I've seen them someplace.

    fuel delivery issues ain't getting none

    Well that worked, blew some some air in the tank, blew gas a few feet. I tried cranking it over after that figuring it was primed and nothing, not a drop pumped by the pump. Thanks everyone, especially Snooks for the suggestions. I got a couple days before the new pump gets here from Rock auto...

    fuel delivery issues ain't getting none

    ok, if I was to blow low pressure air from the post pump line back to the tank could that clear the sock filter to see if it was the issue? this stay at home stuff is got me thinking to much

    fuel delivery issues ain't getting none

    I got a fuel pump coming and in the mean time I wanted to see if the issue was before the pump, but I haven't figured a way to to pull a vacuum on it. I think the shop vac might be a little much.

    Thanks Snoots, I just separated the line before the filter and I get nothing after cranking.
