    Battle with rust

    Hello everyone. I've never done body work and normally just roll with the rust. In Colorado these squares don't get crazy rotted out like other places, but they do usually develop rust in the typical spots. My 1982 K20 is no exception. Cab corners on both sides, passenger rocker and both bed...

    @Craig 85 I had a question. The plug that goes into the back of the tcs solenoid, mine had a piece of something on the old solenoid that disintegrated when I touched it. What's on yours?

    I might try and round up a stock manifold from the junk yard

    Installed the new parts except the tvs that goes into manifold. The whole in the edelbrock manifold is bigger than the part I ordered. I'm gonna see if they have another part or maybe I'll get an adapter. I hooked everything up the way it shows on my air cleaner diagram. @Craig 85 you said to...

    How would you recommend I go about fixing the rust. I've never dealt with it before.

    No, your good. That manifold had an extra hole where that vacuum port is that mine doesn't have. Edelbrock intake manifold.

    Can you take an overhead picture of the manifold where those thermal vacuum switches are?

    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    I totally thought about that. Can I use calipers to measure the nipples or is there a better way? I'm sure the nipples are a little bigger to get a good fit.

    @Craig 85 Well, I ordered a pvs off of rock auto. I hope its the right one. I'm going to get a new heater hose and put it to the water pump and put the pvs in the intake manifold. I ordered the one that goes in air cleaner too. Also a new TCS from the parts place. Once everything gets here I'll...

    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    @Craig 85 so I'm having a hard time finding where this efe is supposed to plug into. I've got a random hose not hooked up to anything off that brown port on the air cleaner. Is that where it goes? There isn't any other ports near the thermostat. And the broken brown one, what plugs into the...

    Thanks everyone. It's a really nice truck and emission/smog testing or not you've all helped me decide to keep it original.

    Ok, so the EFE canister plugs into where? What plugs into the broken port on the vacuum port?

    HELP! Keep it stock or go a little aftermarket

    I'll do that. It needs quote a few gaskets. Its leaking a little oil too. Smells super rich when I punch it too.

    I'll check the thermostat vacuum. Once the truck warms up its tits. I'm beginning to think restoring any nonfunctional/ missing factory components is the way to go. It runs very well, I'm just a power whore, lol. I guess I can drive my '13 Ram sport if I want to go fast. I definitely want to...

    And when put it drive and give it gas it wants to die at just idle to about 1/4 throttle it just died on me. Starts right back up. Then you have to push passed the dead spot in the throttle and it bogs for a second then shoots forward. It didn't do it with the timing advanced.

    When I got it, it was pinging so bad. It was at 40 deg advanced. The sticker on the air cleaner says 4 deg, I put it at 6-8 deg. It runs better but has trouble starting when cold. Usually takes 3 cranks and 5 pumps on the accelerator. Maybe it's that heat riser....
