    Engine keeps dying at random

    Well since you just touched the ignition stuff it's still possible to be the culprit. What happens when it does does your dash and lights still work when it dies? Do you get a strong smell of gas after it happens? If not then i doubt it's flooding. Possibly vaporlocking.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I believe the spindles are different. The rotors are 1.25". Reckon only thing that's the same is the pads. I had a helluva time finding the inner bearing, cross referenced to a 70s vega.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Lucky my '87 calipers were $23 ea. Might be the fact it is equipped with HD brakes. ''Twas an expensive brake overhaul I did two year ago.

    350 tbi to 350 vortec

    I am currently in the middle of a carb swap on my TBI '87. I opted to keep the swirl port heads that came on the motor for budget reasons and I will upgrade heads when I fully rebuild the motor. I am sitting at 129k miles and I too was thinking of the 12-300-4 cam and from what I have read and...

    wiring question

    How does the rest of our trucks/burbs get power from the battery? When there are only 2 wires coming off the positive post on the battery and 2/3 coming off the negative post to grounds. I have a 1 wire alternator so that accounts for one of the two and the other is going straight down to the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    thats exactly what I did. my only issue was trying to correct the twist the transmission did while the motor was out. I ended up getting the top, not the center because theres no hole there, on the drivers side to act as a pivot. What ended up happening is the passenger side was about 1" to 1...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    spent most of the afternoon fighting the TH350 to get back in line with the back of the motor. Suppose all that while being out it shifted even though it was supported. After a million trips back and forth from above the engine to under the truck while fiddling with a jack on the motor and a...

    fuel cell with or without foam?

    searched and searched but cannot find a valid answer. i know the foam is for safety and i thought mainly for strip use and a requirement for drag cars. i however am running a street only truck. for street do i need the foam? looking at an aluminum cell with probably a sending unit. stupid...

    Fuel pump placement.

    Anyone have an idea if this will work for a temporary till I get the rear tank figured out? 12 gal metal cell in the bed that just has an outlet and a vent hookup on it. Run a single line fuel sytem until I get a better cell with a return on it. Line from the outlet to an electric pump with...

    Valve seal replacement

    should be a 5/8 bolt. i replaced my seals when my heads were off, i know ideal situation, but even with the tool i could barely push the spring down. figured it was because in 29 years of never being undone before kinda made them freeze and lock the retainers in. i had to tap on the top of the...

    1987 c-10

    Gotcha I wasn't sure how far into the 90s they ran dual lights side by side. My '95 Silverado has the side by side but looks nothing like my square obviously lol.

    1987 c-10

    My '87 has the dual lights on top of each other and the grill is like the second picture. I always thought the side by side lights were years '88-95. ??

    3.08 to 4.10 first time swap

    28 spline is the axles into the carrier. People tend to beef up while they're there so adding 30 spline axles and matching carrier. Which I would suggest getting a nice posi to throw in with new axles and seals whole changing out the ring and pinion.

    Did GM use unpainted blocks?

    When I degreased my '87 it was bare iron and like yours it was covered in oil and dirt probably 20 years worth.

    no through a regulator with a return port to drop the pressure down between 4-7psi

    Fuel pump placement.

    That was one of the wires I did save. I had planned on tieing in the electric choke to that wire. Probably not a good idea to have it overlaoded. But I suppose I could fine another source for that. I have all the wires in my garage still and they're just cut and still bundled together. I...

    Fuel pump placement.

    So to be clear... Splice off the ignition wire to the starter with a fuse up to the sub harness, bc I agree I more than likely left it alone like you said it's not tied into the ECM or tbi wires? Well since I cut the relay off maybe I could just rewire up a new relay that connects into the...

    Fuel pump placement.

    i was thinking that would kill it. well i cut all the wires right at the firewall going to the ECM. i only saved 4 wires, pink ignition wire, alt wire, some wire that went to the coil on the tbi dizzy and the last i cannot remember. as i did that i meant to save the orange wires for the fuel...

    Fuel pump placement.

    On an '87 R10 with dual tanks can I put an external power fuel pump in front of the selector valve? I was thinking of installing the pump in the engine bay but probably not a good idea due to hear and the distance from the tanks to pump. Ditched the tbi setup and all the wires with it. No way...

    Stock exhaust configuration

    The air pump is the smog pump. Should be under your alternator. Helps with emissions by pumping air into the exhaust to help with cleaner air going out the tail pipe. Read through this.... http://m.smogtips.com/air.cfm

    Stock exhaust configuration

    It's a pancake style converter. The exact same as I have. Worth a little bit of money if i remember correct at certain scrap yards, just depends on your area. Also if someone hasn't popped open the hole and pulled all the platinum crystals out. Shouldn't have any issues. If you don't have...
