    High elevation tuning.

    I have Edelbrock E-Street EFI on a 400ci. I am at 5400+. What should I set my AFR to? I have been looking for an answer to that for almost a year. My truck is getting horrendous gas mileage and it seems to be running crappier. Any suggestions?

    Rally wheel worth

    But I'll bet they'd go through 1.5 feet of snow with the greatest of ease.

    New From South Texas

    Holy Crap! ! ! Did they never change the oil in that? Makes me wonder what the inside of my 400 looks like. Now you got me wanting to take my intake off! Damn you! ! !

    8 MPG?

    It does improve Gas mileage. I got a 50% increase in MPG. I went from 4.12 to 6.85. It is other stuff wrong with the engine that is preventing better fuel economy. But hey, I don't call it 6.85 Miles per gallon, I call it 6.85 SMILES per gallon.

    8 MPG?

    Tell me how! I've changed over to EFI and still only get 7mpg if I'm lucky. I have a feeling I've got to tear it down and rebuild it.

    Where do you mount your fire extinguisher?

    I also saw one mounted down below the dash on the driver's side by the vent.

    Where do you mount your fire extinguisher?

    If you don't have shoulder harness like my 76 didn't, I mounted it beside the passenger's head. And since you're tall, you can just reach over and flip the release and have the extinguisher in your hand in one move.

    Gauges and headlights electrical issue

    I had this problem, sort of, when the headlights were on, my Right Signal was dim. Turned out it was a small short in the front right marker light. Change out the sockets and it should correct the turn signal indicators from lighting up when the head lights are on.

    Correct power steering pump

    I thought they're different sized lines. 1 should be 5/8" and the other should be 11/16". Not on my truck they're both the same. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Correct power steering pump

    I just replaced my lines, and I think I got them reversed. Can anyone tell me on this picture which opening is for the pressure line from the pump. I have a 1976 K10 with a 400. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Correct power steering pump

    How come none of the pictures are showing up on this thread? I have the same problem in a 76 K10 with a 400. My power steering belt is really loose. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    C10 power steering lines

    I am having the same problem with my pressure line. It looks different than my original. Here are 2 pics. The new one is interfering with adjusting/tightening the pump belt. No one has the exact replacement as the original. When I remount the pump, i can't get the line to screw into the...

    Should I try these wheels out?

    Fuel Tank Size

    WOW! ! That is 14.xx per mile. What is your engine and and what altitude are you at? I just replaced my Rochester Queer Jet (Sorry for the non politically correct term) with an Edelbrock EFI TBI system. and I am hoping for the same. But after 300 miles, I am only getting about 6.25mpg. It was...

    Fuel Tank Size

    I know if it was a single tank on a 76 Long Bed, it was a 20 gallon. I have one of those. I bought this 76 Short bed recently with 2 tanks and they are a 16 gallon. I don't know if you could fit 20s in a short bed. And the straps may be a little off for the 16s in a long bed. See if a bed mount...

    Door lock is stuck

    Send me your buddy's name! I want him to come over and get mine opened. I was replacing the window felt strips on a 1976 Chevy K10 and I shut the door to go get something and when I came back the door would not open. I had the door panel removed from the inside and I think maybe that some of the...

    Door Latch Mechanism on 1976 Chevy K10

    Thanks, but all the mechanisms for the outside door handle and the inside door handle are working, it just isn't releasing the Bear Claw that latches the door shut on the striker. The linkage from inside moves the arm that you circled in red and the locking linkage seems to be working. I think I...

    Door Latch Mechanism on 1976 Chevy K10

    It is not the lock that doesn't work, it is the latch mechanism that keeps the door shut or allows it to open. I can't open the door now.

    Door Latch Mechanism on 1976 Chevy K10

    Charlie, Thanks for the welcome! ! ! I remembered I have an endiscope that I bought to look at the cylinder heads and I am going to look at it tomorrow. I have looked online for any help, but have spent the last 3 hours looking to no avail. I will keep you posted. But I think I may be crawling...

    Door Latch Mechanism on 1976 Chevy K10

    I was replacing the window felt strips on a 1976 Chevy K10 and I shut the door to go get something and when I came back the door would not open. I had the door panel removed from the inside and I think maybe that some of the debris from the dry rotted window felt fell into the door mechanism...

    Did my truck come this way??

    This is what the Ziebart Logo looks like.

    Did my truck come this way??

    I had my original 1976 Custom Deluxe K10 Ziebarted. They drilled 3 holes in the roof to insert spray heads to spay the roof panels with the Ziebart rustproofing product. In my truck the 3 holes were drilled behind the visor and in the back above the window. Check to see if the plugs have the...
