    87 C10 Hood Latch problem

    2" x 1/4" flat stock. Gently pry up the front of the hood, just enough to sneak a 13mm socket on there, and ubolt the latch from the core support.

    fuel cell vent question

    shouldn't have any problems running it just the way you said. make sure you secure it to the bed floor where it passes through, so you don't have any problems with it coming back up through the bed floor, and potentially spelling fuel into the bed.

    back spacing and rear wheels

    It's narrower to improve handling. Why mess with it if it's just going to look "better" and not drive as well?

    camel back heads?

    It the slug truck that sounds fast... We had a kid worth a stock LG4 Camaro that used to cruise with us. Car had a 6" pin on cowl hood on it. That kid would fall into the same category... The hood was faster than the car.

    Cheapest 6" lift

    Of you're going to do it, and invest a lot of money, don't cheap out. Do it right the first time with quality parts. Which is a worse scenario? Spending $1000 on a lift kit that rides like crap and breaks parts, or $1500 on one that rides nice and is bulletproof?

    upgrading your square with a hydraulic clutch

    They might be kinda hard to see off you're not focusing on them, and I have seen them with the factory seam sealer over them, making them completely undetectable.

    upgrading your square with a hydraulic clutch

    Better yet, anybody with an 84+ truck, preferably automatic, who can locate the factory dimples and get pics of them.

    i would like sugestions for my 85 350 turbo

    Not necessarily... On both statements. If it's currently undergeared (like 99% of these trucks were) overdrive will hurt mpg by lugging the engine below it's powerband. With that said, the 3.06 1st gear gear of the 700R4 will help the truck get out of the hole quicker. If we're talking about...

    Ticking Sound from Inspection Plate

    I wouldn't drive it at all. If a Tc bolt breaks, and then is floating around in the bellhousing, it can and will damage the bellhousing, and make even worse noises. Had a perfectly good 700R4 out of am 85 suburban that suffered this very same fate. Root of the problem? All 3 Tc bolts broken...

    i would like sugestions for my 85 350 turbo

    Not always true. A truck making 100 ft lb more torque will accelerate faster than a lesser powered truck. At the same time, a truck making 100 ft lb more will put less strain on the drivetrain, and will use less fuel. So many guys focus on horsepower, when the reality is what they're after...

    Carburator Questions

    Both are 600cfm carbs. The 1850 is a vacuum secondary carb IIRC, where the Edelbrock is a mechanical secondary. If you're planning on using either, use the Holley.

    You also shouldn't have any issues with a zero rate and a block.
