    Careful buying online- Camaro 1979

    Around here, old vehicles are the new fad. People that never had one, and used to talk about those of us that did, now want them to be cool, hip, or whatever they call it now a days. They haven’t a clue of what to look for, and most buy sight unseen, but hey, it is shiny in the pictures.

    The old 700R4 questions!

    The 700r4 came out in the 1982 year model as an option. Somewhere around mid 84 they changed input shafts from 27 to 30 spline. Then somewhere in 87, they changed the valve body.

    Vent Window/Back Window Questions

    The vent windows can be a bear at times. I have a set I need to do, and I’ll try to remember to take pictures when I do them. Biggest problem I have now is my arthritis and working /tugging the rubber and the small parts.

    Rough Country 4” with 35’s

    Mine has had auto locking hubs since Nov 1983 and never had an issue. It is not babied either. The problems I have seen with them is most people put too much grease in them which causes issues. We have gumbo mud here in the deep south that is hard on vehicles, so wondering if it is the colder...

    LMC EFI gas tank install

    The ep381 pump has an internal bypass spring that makes it capable of producing higher pressures, but the regulator is in the tbi unit itself, which regulates pressure from 11-18psi depending on spring color, unless they have a 94-95 454/7.4 spring, which will then make the pressure about 34psi...

    LMC EFI gas tank install

    I would put in a 96-97 pump in it from a Vortec equipped truck. (Ep381) It has twice the flow of the tbi (ep386) pump

    More horsepower

    May also want to swap fuel pumps. The ep386 (tbi) pump only flows about 75 lph where the ep381 (96-97 Vortec) pump flows about 155 lph. It definitely makes a difference in the 7.4/454 tbi trucks, which always were fuel starved. What color spring do you have in the tbi regulator?

    How should i build my engine, 1979 chevy k10

    Post up what you have first. And what are your goals for the truck? Rest of the drivetrain? Trans, gear ratio, tires, etc as it all needs to be a matched combination.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Looks good. Doing something very similar on my 84 k1500, using the spare winch and frame hanger from an 04 Dodge Ram. Got it mocked up close, just need to pull the bed again to double check and finalize position

    Been showing some of the stuff from Dad’s side of the family, but have a fair amount from Mom’s side too. Dad met mom when he was stationed in Germany in 61-64. Dad’s father was in the 86th ID, the only division to see action in both European and Pacific Theatres. Mom’s father was in Rommel’s...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    This is the only lube can I have. It is part of the stuff that one of my 3rd great grandfathers bought home from the WBTS/CW along with the musket flask. The can has some grease in it but had several paper cartridges in it for the New Model Army Remington he brought home. The pistol was made...

    Favorite Project Truck Sales Pitches

    When trying to buy something, “Make me an offer” Most of the time the offer is met with “Oh that’s too low” to which I reply, “So you do have a idea of what you have to have to sell it” Or when selling I always list a price but get replies of “I can get that for ***” (usually 1/3 to 1/4 of...
