    "Proper Starting procedure" for Squarebody

    I wouldn't . That things pretty cool. Just imagine that in the McDonald's parking lot though.

    I think you are right. How do I dislike your post?

    I'm really jealous of this truck! I'm gonna keep watching this.

    Door panel plastic restoration

    What do you mean? The ones on the panel or on the actual door? The ones in the metal were put there by a past owner. He just cut through the carpet that was there and wired speakers. But I took them out because they were blown. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Stalls when pressing gas too fast

    Well the side that goes against the spring is closed (metal) and the other open with a gasket. My old one is the same but instead of the paper gasket its got that rubber thing that sticks inside the filter with a spring inside it, and also acts as a gasket. Its weird that the new one didnt have...

    Oh so I am supposed to take that off the old filter and put it on the new one? Should I take that paper gasket off then? The old one didn't have that. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    What's that rubber thing though? My other fuel filter came with one but this one didn't. It should be fine right? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    I went out and got this one from AutoZone. It's got one of those paperish gaskets which is fine, but what is this rubber black thing with a spring? Am I supposed to have one of those?

    There was a spring. How come some people have the longer one though? Even the computer at advance Auto parts said it was the right filter. Are they just interchangeable or something? I don't even think they have a shorter one. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Why is the new one so much longer? I looked it up and lots of people have the long filter. Is the short one right? Will both work? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    I got it off. I just needed to take a break and wrench a little harder. I was using some nice Craftsman wrenches. I just wasn't turning hard enough. Here's the little rascal. Looks pretty bad to me. But only time (and a bit of money) will tell if this bad boy was my problem. Sent from my...

    Stalls when pressing gas too fast

    I know how to remove it. I wanted to know if I could do it without removing the air cleaner. I am just starting out working on my truck though and trying to learn so I'm not going to know everything right away. Anyway. I got the 5/8" and 1" wrench around the two nuts. I am trying to loosen the...

    Am I able to remove the fuel filter without removing the air cleaner? Or is that a bad idea?

    "Proper Starting procedure" for Squarebody

    Exactly. They just have character. If you and your friend both have a 2012 Corolla, they are exactly alike. But everyone with a squarebody has a story. Each one is miles different than the other. I'd much rather put work into an old car than have all the money in the world to buy supercars. Old...

    Door panel plastic restoration

    Yeah I think I'll just spray the other one with this paint and leave it like that for a while. The interior is pretty mismatched anyway because like I said most of it is out of a 1980 truck with a darker tan interior, but I think the door panels look good. That buckskin is what my truck must've...

    "Proper Starting procedure" for Squarebody

    That makes sense because there are so many different factors that can make a carb act different. Mine is rebuilt so maybe that helps a bit but its been pretty good so far for both warm and cold starts. The idle speed is usually very inconsistent though. Sometimes it sounds really high and...

    "Proper Starting procedure" for Squarebody

    LOL. I do start a lot of threads. Whatever. I like to learn things. I think its awesome how much knowledge people have to share. I don't really know anyone that can fix cars so I come on here for any questions I have. I've learned so much just in the 2 months or so I've had the truck. I wish I...

    "Proper Starting procedure" for Squarebody

    Oh no i've never had any problem starting it, but i was just curious. I started out by slowly pumping 4 times before turning the key because i looked up proper starting procedure and i guess thats what it is for a mustang. I was wrong to think it was the same for a chevy truck I guess. Someone...

    Autozone 40th Anniversary SquareBody trucks

    Do they still have these? I have like 20 autozones near me. If they still have them I'll start calling around. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    "Proper Starting procedure" for Squarebody

    So I was reading through the factory service manual and it said something about making sure that I am using the proper Starting procedure. I don't have the owners manual though so does anyone know what it is? I'm just curious because I've always just done one pump to the pedal and then crank...

    Door panel plastic restoration

    I did consider that. This repairs probably a bit farther down the road for me, but I was either going to see if I could find a good one at a junkyard, or fill the cracks on mine and recolor it with something. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Door panel plastic restoration

    Yeah that's what I'm probably going to do with mine. Can't even tell what color it was. Looks like almost a reddish/pinkish brown. But maybe I can just fix the cracks and spray some colorbond. I was going to try that stuff out and see if it works. Have you thought about that? Sent from my...

    Original interior color options?

    I wish there was some way to tell haha. I was looking for a color pallette of some sort for interior colors like in a brochure but couldn't find anything. I mostly want to know what the darker tan is so I can maybe repaint the door panels to match that better. My interior was used for parts so...
