    1987 TBI intake and heads on early style block

    Yes, if you are swapping the heads and intake. The heads contain the holes with different angles. Keep them together and you are good to go. TBI distributor should be computer controlled. Are you staying TBI or going carb?

    Cluster Interchange Question

    Not sure about checking the gauges. 100 vs 85 mph speedos changed with the gauge fonts, IIRC. I'm thinking like 1980? Wiring Diagrams... https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/1973-1991-wiring-manuals.14498/ Also, this link may or may not be helpful...

    Cluster Interchange Question

    With your 77 having a mechanical oil pressure gauge, you will of course need to track down where that comes from the engine and do the appropriate work to put in an electrical pressure gauge. I have never done it, so I can't help you there. As said above, comparing wiring diagrams is...

    Replacing exhaust manifold with headers. But which ones??

    For the small block in my '79, I have my eyes on Hedman Elites, part #69830. I was able to check out the fit of these first hand on a truck at a local show. The guy was a bit alarmed at first when he saw my head was buried in the wheel well of his truck! We started talking and everything was...

    Is this a small block or big block engine?

    Small block. Giveaway is the center exhaust ports are next to each other. Big blocks have separated exhaust locations. Those bolts you are referring to are most likely ports for the smog system. From the factory there are some metal tubes that go through those areas and lead to, well, I...

    What color is this Green? I need some help

    I thought I had posted this, guess not. This might help a lot of people.

    What color is this Green? I need some help

    Sure looks right to me. Viewing that color through pictures is very difficult and varied. Most of the pictures I have of my truck show it with more blueish hue than in reality. I need to check out that site.

    I don't think there are post requirements to buy stuff.

    Whats you gas mileage on your squarebody truck?

    Let me play devils advocate here... You based your mileage off of the amount of dollars $$ you estimated you spent relative to the amount of time you estimate you spent driving?

    Trouble identifying these heads

    Sounds like they are 76cc, early swirl port heads. Nothing special. First year of different intake bolt angle.

    Anyone ever used Monstaliner on dash pad or door panels?

    Just my opinion, but I wouldn't do it on plastic. There is dye out there if you won't to change the color of plastic. If you are thinking of using it to reinforce the strength of broken plastic, I don't think it's the best way to go. But to cover metal, as I assume you did in your CJ5, I can...

    What color is this Green? I need some help

    Do you have some more interior pics showing the green paint and saddle interior? I have a green interior, and heaven forbid I ever have to change the color, I am thinking saddle as the parts are much more available.

    What color is this Green? I need some help

    I guess I should jump into this thread... IMO, your green is exactly like my 79. Which is code 43, Shamrock Green. Pictures have never really captured the true color of my truck, as pics always seem to make it more blue than it really is. My current phone however can capture it quite well...

    Adding lower anchor points to the bed.

    While poking around in the garage this morning I found version 2 of what was going to be front anchor points. I don't have my truck here to show you how they were to work, but you can imagine it I'm sure. The square cutouts would go over the mounting nuts. I was going to replace the bolts...

    Cluster Refurb - What are options

    I have parts left over from the refurb I did on mine, the sticky at the top of this section. If you are going to a factory tach, you will need the proper printed circuit. And you will also need the proper shell, and stand to mount the tach too. The wiring for the tach is stand-alone from the...

    Adding lower anchor points to the bed.

    I did. And I never ended up installing them for some reason. Damn @bucket, you got a good memory. I will dig around the garage tomorrow and see if I have them laying around still.

    TBI vortec heads compression???

    I'm guessing you might get to 9:1, at the most. But I don't know what compression the TBI motors came with factory, or the CC's of the heads.

    Can she do it, hot shot towing

    K10 is a half ton designation. If you have a 3/4 ton, you have a K20. It does make a difference on this site to have it correct. Just saying. And I would agree with everyone else, even with a 3/4 ton, you are going to get sick of that setup real quick.

    Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers

    You wouldn't be side tracking this thread at all! Post up some pics! Big block, small block, lowrider, 4x4... I don't care.

    Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers

    I have been keeping an eye open for headers for a while now. Just stumbled upon a set of Thorley's for a reasonable price. Does anybody have pictures of some installed? Specifically on a 4wd would be nice. I can't say I have ever heard anything negative about them. Any other review on them...

    Air filter test.

    Sadly, no. I would like to say you can choose one, better or cheaper, but even that I hesitate to say. I am from the tool and die world, and currently in the automation sector. Tool and die shops in this area, West MI, have been outsourcing the individual details of dies to China for...
