    Gas Grade Opinion Help....

    No.. it's above that..in that picture you can see the choke flap is open, on my primaries... its that little deal right in front of them... if you were standing directly in front of the truck... there's a screw in there...and the screwhead is facing directly upwards.... wish i could do that red...

    ShadeTree Mechanics

    Hmmm.. interesting, never thought about that... might have to check into that, but i never really swap out tires enough to really matter... The thing that DID suck was when I had a new set mounted on my freshly painted rally's.... I told the dude to be careful... and not to scratch em with...

    ShadeTree Mechanics

    ALL THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I LET NO ONE TOUCH MY SQUARE!!!! Except my dad, of course =0) Sucks though... because there's some things I flat out can't do: Mount tires on rims, Have it smog tested, and had a new exhaust sysyem put in... even then, I'm standing there waiting and watching like...

    Oh don't I know it!! I've been chasing a down a vacuum leak, or something for a while... replaced just about every darn hose... I have this little shake at idle... I can't seem to get it to smooth out... just enough to irritate me... Those M4ME Q-Jets are somethin else man.... You would...

    Is it just me, or doesn't it feel good when you can work on your own square... and get stuff done... Just thought I'd put that out there...LOL Changed oil, rotated tires, and had to adjust the carb some (my q-jet is a sensitive old gal).... but regardless she runs like no ones business...

    TBI Swap....

    Yeah.. the 1975 older cut off is correct... I believe it doesn't matter if you change owners.. it's still exempt before 75. Although.. if you do sell a car here newer than 1975, the owner has the responibility of making sure it passes smog.. even if the registration and tite are up to date...

    TBI Swap....

    Yeah, I'm thinking the Pick and pull deal too... it's my best shot at it... hopefully I can find me an 87 to pull from.. but we'll see... Bummer too.. cuz before I got my square, I had me a 92 Silverado 350... that got wrecked, and totalled out... could of totally pulled the TBI set-up from...

    TBI Swap....

    Yeah.. it does have a O2 sensor.. had to replace it a few days ago... I read this right up after typing my last post.. so I suppose I could use a TBI with my intake... they have adaptors huh?

    TBI Swap....

    Hmmm.. interesting fellas... didn't think about having to change out the distributor, or fuel pump... seeings that my 84 has the mechanical one up along the side. So there's no way it would work with a manual fuel pump?.. and why the distributor change? I'm a curious fellow about these...
