Air Conditioning leak checking / finding information sharing thread
Oil is what circulates the refrigerant through the system. A leak will show up as an oily spot. Dye is used to distinguish one oil leak from another. Look on the underside of your hood for an oily streak indicating a compressor seal. Look closely at both sides of the condenser, again looking for...- Finkaire

Best Spent $$ for Square Restoration
Buying and storing parts has one drawback, it’s hard to return a part that doesn’t fit a year later. Overall I had pretty good luck. Best restoration parts were the GM re-pops. -
Best Spent $$ for Square Restoration
I like that sort of creamy yellow Chevrolet color, it’s a great color. Changing color is a frame of restoration. Depends on how far you want to go. I like the yellow and you can play with the shade on the repaint without having to do the jams and the bed conserving costs. The yellow with black... -

87 headlight bezel color ?
Mine was a darker color than the argent silver. Bought the GM repops from LMC and they were the proper color. Not sure which colors go with which years, but there are two colors, lighter and darker. The bezels match the grille.- Finkaire

Look at these 2 steering gear boxes. Whats best.
Same issues with mine, had the frame welded and replaced the steering box. The first box was almost like no power steering at all, advertised as improved. Replaced with a box more like the original, two fingers. Second box was more expensive, both new, not rebuilt.- Finkaire

96 sanden compressor into an 83
Your truck did not come with barrier hoses. Slip on fittings will not work with barrier hoses. Find a hot-rod shop for a referral, you will need them custom made. Good luck! I’m still running R-12 in mine- Finkaire

Locked up brakes
Rear brake lockup! I gave up and took it to a shop. Got it back with the brakes dragging. After three attempt and a bunch of money they work.

The positive cable runs to the fuse box where wires are fused to individual circuits which are then grounded to the chassis. Anything electric can be turned on or off by interrupting the...- Finkaire

Searching for a modern sound system
Anyone have one of these installed in their truck, just wondering. Thought it might be just what the doctor ordered to compliment the dash unit, only 3” deep, fits under the seat.- Finkaire

High Idle 84 chevy C20 w/350
Mine did the same thing, there is an adjustment for the high idle. I adjusted mine down to where I don’t think I have a choke any more. I have to feather the throttle to keep it running in the morning but then it runs fine, just passed smog. I have the electric carburetor- Finkaire

Searching for a modern sound system
Okay, speakers not bad, not great! OE speakers are 3” in the front and 10”x? In the rear. They do sell replacements, and then there‘s 6x9’s, kick panel speakers. I believe the retrosound has plugs for amps and subwoofer. I mostly like the controls compared to my sons Alpine- Finkaire
