    q-jet electric choke

    Worked fine last winter. Its more than an adjustment. Its no where near correct. There was a Holley on it when I bought it. A 6210... 6203... something like that. Mechanical secondaries, no choke... no thank you. Sure I could have gone for a new one, but then Id have to have sex with my...

    single din radio install

    This head unit needs to be replaced anyways. It is an old one that doesnt have the external fuse, and its shorted to the chassis and whines through the speakers, even with filter on it.

    q-jet electric choke

    gahhhhhhhhh. Ok. So, I was wondering that. I didnt want to go tearing shit off if I didnt need to, but if you and I are thinking the same thing then... *le sigh*. I just didnt want to miss something obvious like, linkage or something like that, but I couldnt see anything. Ill pull the choke...

    windshield

    I did the online estimator through safelite and their repair (out of pocket) is $140 and a new windshield installed is $200. Online they dont have anything about the "premium" glass, but I am going to call and find out. I might just see if I can do the free insurance repair, and if its not up to...

    single din radio install

    To you and I, it isnt bad. To the accountant, its horrible. Haha. Yeah, I want to get dimmable LED's, but I might as well just do it if I am getting a head unit and pulling everything else apart. I hate doing double labor.

    windshield

    Ill grab the camera after work. The cell phone sucks. The only thing that Im worried about is its right smack dab in front of my face. If it were off the side, Id have it repaired no problem.

    windshield

    Thanks. Ill prob call insurance and see if there is a discount and "it doesnt affect" my coverage. I was just about to switch to Grundy insurance as it is cheaper anyways and the house insurance is up in a month. Just wanted to make sure it wasnt going to be replaced with some junk. They dont...

    windshield

    Well, it happened. Some small pebble chipped my windshield right in front of my viewing area. I assume the glass is the factory glass. So that sucks. I have to check with insurance yet, but, is it worth it to get it replaced or should it just be fixed and hope for the best? Has anyone had...

    Wiper arms

    BTW, just to wrap this up. I got on Rock Auto and without a discount (because like a dumby, I didnt check for one) and ordered a pair for my MY for $14 shipped to my door. So far so good. I thought they would come in silver because they didnt say they were black, but they came black, so even better.

    q-jet electric choke

    Oh don't you worry, I have in the past... You don't have to disconnect it to test with a piece of shit test light. Plus there is nothing wrong with the heating element.

    single din radio install

    I was kinda afraid of that. The piece of shit previous owner did a lot of wrong things. The gauge bezel is 9 kinds of f'up. So I have a new bezel and was hoping there was a different way since I don't want to really mount that pos fully. Thanks guys. Guess it's time to save up for a radio...

    single din radio install

    This isnt so much about the radio or wiring, but I picked up a new gauge bezel. I need to cut it to fit the radio. What have you all done to make sure you cut exactly what you needed out of the gauge bezel?

    q-jet electric choke

    One of the plethora of times that I had the carb off and on to fix it, I think I did something to the choke. Its been hot down here in Texas so I havent had the need to fix it, and out of the blue, its 40 degrees. So I will describe it has the choke is loose. I thought that I read somewhere...

    82 C10 fuel injection upgrade

    NEED? No. Should you? Probably. Did I? No. I wired mine up out of necessary and lack of time. I would totally do it differently, if and when, I get the time. You can get a relay kit from your favorite part store. I tapped into an IGN port in the fuse block, power straight off the battery to the...

    Anybody else have bad luck with this fuel pump like I did ?

    So in the past year, almost to the date, I have been through 3 mechanical fuel pumps. I finally got fed up and went with a Carter P4070. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crt-p4070 Except I got it for $20 cheaper two weeks ago. I installed in inline fuel pressure gauge, and I am running at a...

    Power steering box recommendations

    Ewww. I was just about to replace mine. It is leaking like a stuck pig and has about 10 degrees of play. Maybe Ill just reseal it and see if I can adjust it and/or just live with the play. :(

    Let's debate it ...oil pumps

    I know Im coming from the point of a 4th gen engine, but my LS1 had 500 hp that I spun to 7k all the time on a stock oil pump with 160k miles on it. Never once did I double guess it.

    Wiper arms

    I am tired of replacing my wiper arms with donors from the yards as they are just as old and keep breaking. So a few questions. 1. where can I get them besides LMC? Is there some place local you have found them. 1. LMC shows there are black or silver. Does it matter? As in, were silver a year...
