    Quadrajet to Edelbrock Carb

    From what I am hearing over on one of my threads a quadrajet is a better carb for driving. It is a smoother carb and actually can perform better if tuned right. I am saving myself the trouble and just fixing my quadrajet instead of swapping an edelbrock because it is much more plug and play...

    AC Blower motor noise?

    Interesting. I'll give that a go. I have nothing to lose. And if it doesn't work a new one is only 20$. Thank you! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Proper way to fix sagging Headliner

    I was hoping to reuse my old vinyl fabric because I cleaned it with soap and water and got all the old foam off. It looks pretty much brand new, but I think it shrunk. I layed it over the backer board and it doesn't line up and doesn't reach the edges. I'm gonna leave it in the sun to expand and...

    Stalls when pressing gas too fast

    I think we've already adressed this claim. I am an 18 year old trying to learn to work on my truck and I can't move it once I take the carb apart. I also have an HOA that's gonna get mad if it sits in the same spot for too long. I keep moving it back and forth from my garage but I won't be able...

    Yeah my truck does the exact same thing. I'm gonna pull apart the carb later I think and check out what happened. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Your video is not showing up for me. I get a 404 error. But why do you think the pump failed so quickly? Maybe I'm having the same problem as you. Bad part maybe? Maybe the previous owner that rebuilt my carb bought the same part as you.

    9.50 x 16.5 Tires??

    Well I won't be killing any nuns because I have Firestones. Come to think of it that should be their slogan. "Don't kill nuns. Buy Firestones." Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    9.50 x 16.5 Tires??

    What is the difference between a car tire and trailer tire? A few of them said they were E rated even though they were trailer tires. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Are all the hubcaps universal to 16.5 and 16" wheels? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    What's the best adhesive to do this all with? Should I use the same stuff for the 1/4" foam as the actual vinyl? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Proper way to fix sagging Headliner

    All this old glue just peels off. Do I need to remove the grey stuff to get it down to bare yellow? Or just get the old glue off? I'm assuming I need the grey stuff of the back of the vinyl, but I'm not sure about the backer board. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    9.50 x 16.5 Tires??

    Thanks for that link. It would seem they are a bit pricey. I looked around and the traansforce is cheaper elsewhere, but thanks for that page. I didn't know there were that many tires available. Some good insight for next time I need tires I suppose

    Proper way to fix sagging Headliner

    I am gonna buy a cheap angle grinder from harbor freight and try this with the steel wool. If thats a bit too rough I can use it for other things like sanding. I could also just use a drill. Thanks for the info though. I'm gonna go take out the backer board tomorrow but I just need to wait until...

    Hubcap Part #?

    Yeah I agree! I kinda wish I had an older truck because I like the look of the older hubcaps like this one better than what I have.

    9.50 x 16.5 Tires??

    I had the same issue. It appears that firestone is the only brand that makes that size tire anymore. There is also one at walmart called "powerking"that are only 100$ a tire and they look pretty cool like a classic tire, but I went with firestones. They are the Transforce HT. I am pretty sure it...

    Stalls when pressing gas too fast

    Actually I may not have to. I just got in touch with the owner and he says he replaced the accelerator pump. Maybe I'm doing that test wrong or something. I suppose it's possible it broke even if it's new, but it seems really unlikely. He said check the other fuel filter under the truck. I...

    I haven't driven it since I had this problem. Nor will I have to until I finish Basic Training and go to wyoming to join the Air National Guard.

    Stalls when pressing gas too fast

    Yeah yours is electric choke and I don't think I wanna mess with that. It's also got the vacuum in the back instead of the front. I might consider having mine sent to that place in arkansas though. Only thing is the previous owner claims to have rebuilt it. It does look fairly clean, so I...

    Im not 100% sure if that carb would work on my truck or not because it looks like it has an electric choke, and the layout is a bit different, but how much were you thinking about selling it for?

    Difference between stock air cleaner and aftermarket?

    Okay well I might go ahead and just repaint my stock one real nice. I tried doing it before but I hadn't sanded it good enough and it doesn't look great. I could probably get some paint stripper on there and then maybe sand it with an angle grinder really good. I am curious though where does...
