    Looking for a gopher in Northern Indiana

    So a guy in Dupont, IN has a set of cargo doors for a '78 Suburban. Same colors as mine but not rotted and has all the latch hardware. He's about 4.5 hours from me and can't meet on the weekends so that leaves me screwed. Anyone in that area travel to Chicago at all? Or live between the 2? Paid...

    They are Delco #19256067 or 41-993. Or are you saying NGK uses the same #?

    So I got my plugs yesterday. They are tapered seat. Also read they they are a better heat range for colder climates. I'll probably run them and see what happens

    Yup, you are correct. I've read a few sites where the guys run the 41993 plugs in the vortec 454. They do mention they are from an L31 also but they never mention the seat type and I didn't realize that. Thanks for checking. I'll have to buy different plugs now lol

    Y'all need to go to rockauto.com and get yourself a set of Iridiums for about $18. ($45 - 5% and $3 per plug rebate) AC Delco 41993 Heard they make a big difference in the L29 engines. You can keep the .060 gap for more power or decrease it to .045 for a smoother idle but it loses power at...

    Take Advantage of These Rebates at RockAuto!

    I did! Bought some Iridiums for my BBC. $5.63 each, 5% discount covered about 1/2 the cost of 1 plug, +$3 rebate each= $18 for a set of 8. Sounds good to me!

    I'm hopefully buying a 496 rotating assembly for mine here in the near future. Doing some research on what I want to do with the motor and found that these rockers fit under the stock valve covers with an adjustable valve train kit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-1411-16

    NVU gauges

    https://newvintageusallc.mybigcommerce.com/73-87-chevy-f-s-performance-ii-black/ Anyone used these? I'm really thinking about getting a set in the near future. USA made is a big plus for me as well. My only peve about them is they don't use the factory blinker locations but I might look into...

    Need help with cold idle settings

    So as the temps have been dropping here in Chicagoland my truck is finding it hard to stay running. On a decent day I come out in the morning, step on the gas pedal once, fire it up and it stays running. High idle is usually around 1k rpm, by ear (I don't have a tach, that will happen when it...

    Take the air cleaner off, douse the whole carb in 1-2 cans of carb cleaner while working all the linkages. I bet some stuff is stuck.

    Well crap

    I was going to suggest the same thing.

    Does this look correct to everyone??

    I agree with everyone here. Your brackets are reversed. Plus I'm pretty sure your shackles are on backwards as well. I've seen them all installed with the opening toward the spring.

    Question on NP 205 rebuild kits

    I've heard horror stories about Novak but I know ORD has awesome customer service if anything is wrong, though both have quality kits. Here is a 205 rebuild guide that you can print if you want. I like to have paper copies available when I do stuff so I don't get oil all over my phone, lol...

    These are the only 2 companies I have found that sell them and they are both out of stock. NP205 32 Spline Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit (northwestfab.com) NP205 Slip Yoke Eliminator Kit (offroaddesign.com) Mine was a slip yoke rear. My above post quote ORD's site (and referenced below) that says...

    NP205 experts

    yeah, there is an adapter for that. I was looking for the rear driveshaft output shaft. Mine was a slip yoke but I wanted a fixed yoke and they don't make the conversion kits any more. I think I found my answer though. I'm going to email them and double check on the cross interchangeability...

    So I bought one about 2 years ago. It had a slip yoke which I removed and sold fully expecting to buy a SYE kit. The time has come where I am looking into getting my 205 mounted to my 4L80e and no one has a SYE anymore. Apparently the manufacturer of the output shafts went out of business or at...

    2wd box for 4wd?

    Just curious, if it's clockable can't the 2wd arm be used? I've never really looked at a 2wd version. I know the 2wd version is clockable in 4 positions, the 4wd is only 1 way. EDIT: Ok, I just looked up the arms on rock auto, didn't realize the 2wd version had the link on it. I wonder if I...
