    Rochester Quadrajet Woes

    I just did this last week on my '77. You are correct, there is a ground wire and a power wire, which was recommended to connect to the wiper motor wire. And of course the electric choke itself which mounts to the manifold. Nothing needs to be changed vacuum wise. I had been having choke problems...

    Kobalt vs dewalt for a sawzall

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    Just wanted to update this thread, I wound up installing Flowtech long tube headers which fit great, and a Thrush dual exhaust kit which included mufflers. The exhaust kit needed modification, but the truck now sounds great, way quieter and far more enjoyable to drive.

    Need help identifying this metal line coming out the back of my carburetor

    Not needed if your brakes don't have a vacuum boost.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got around to installing the exhaust on the K10, consisting of Flowtech headers and a Thrush dual exhaust kit that I bought a couple years ago and had in storage till now. The headers fit great, the exhaust not so much, but after some cutting/welding/bending, it's on. I can't comment on...

    Locked Hub Isn't Really Locked

    I cleaned up the hubs and gave them a good spray with chain lube. They work as they should now.

    Locked Hub Isn't Really Locked

    These hubs are presently packed with what looks like ancient lithium white grease which is likely the problem.

    Locked Hub Isn't Really Locked

    Truck is a 1977 K10, 350 4sp, spicer manual locking hubs. The other day I needed to use 4x4 to move the truck to a different location across some snow. Locked the hubs, shifted to 4hi, and carried on. Got stuck. Front driveshaft was turning but the front tires were not. Had to get the Ford to...

    3.08 Gears. What to Swap to?

    Truck is a 1977 K10 with a stock 350, SM465, 31 inch tires, and 3.08 gears. It sees about 70% highway, 20% in town driving, and 10% low speed yard driving (some deep snow, small hills). No towing at all. I am satisfied with the highway performance, but it feels like it needs deeper gears around...

    Engine Block Heater for SBC 350

    I've lived most of my life where it regularly gets -40 for extended periods, and based on my experience from what I have used: First choice - recirculating coolant heater Second choice - coolant heater in place of a freeze plug Last choice - Magnetic oil pan heater. I haven't tried the other...

    87 receivers

    When I looked a couple years ago, I couldn't find one either. I don't think anyone is making them for sale. I did however come across youtube videos on the topic of modifying a rear hitch to fit between the front frame rails.

    Installing a New Exhaust System Including Headers

    I am installing a new dual exhaust system on my stock '77 K10 to replace the swiss cheese straight pipe. I am also installing long tube headers. I have the passenger side header bolted in and the collector flange is touching the driveshaft. Any tips on bending it to clear? I am reluctant to heat...

    Are you using a kit that includes all the parts?

    Recently found a new windshield on the local fb marketplace. Installed it today with a new gasket.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Loaded up the K10 with scrap metal today. I've been having issues with the divorced choke, not opening all the way. So I disconnected it and it ran way better on the highway, and used less fuel. I am going to try one of those electric conversions

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I haven't driven the 77 K10 much lately, and when I most recently drove it, the front brakes were dragging badly, but intermittently. Changed both calipers and bled the system and she's running great again.

    What are these for?

    Mine are completely gone, just a hole remains. Do reproduction inner fenders have this feature?
