    Less problematic?

    Hi, I was just wondering peoples opinions on a performance carburetor that takes less adjustments like the Edelbrock does compared to the Holley. I do not want a q-jet. I like the Edelbrock 600cfm for my 350 but am considering more power at 600cfm out of a stock carburetor. Any suggestions or...

    All original my baby

    That’s just want my uncle told me when he briefly owned before me that he kept replacing points on the 305. He’s not all that handy with cars.

    All original my baby

    As far as I know 1982 was the last year until fuel injection for the 305. I could be wrong though.

    All original my baby

    My uncle bought it off an old man in 2001 I bought it off him in 2002. The old man must have added it. Also the old man knew it was special he only sold it to my uncle because he saw he was a deputy sheriff and wasn’t a hot rodder like me.

    Hood sale price?

    Ya, I’m mainly mad at my dad for the 2” scratch is why I’m selling it. As for original parts, it’s originally a 305 truck so I don’t see originality being if any value some day. I love the look of a cowl hood anyways. I guess I’m old school anyways I’m 37yo. Not that that’s very young.

    I’ll admit, I forgot certain spelling and punctuation after being hurt by my ex years ago. Being hurt really changes a guy.

    Steering column?

    Hi, dumb question but I was going to buy a factory style steering column unit to replace my original. They say they take old cores, but mine is pretty parted on the outside but insides are 110,000 miles and nothing wrong with them. Would they still take it? If so I think I’d get a discount but I...

    Tonneau low-profile?

    As I remember the one from Checker Pro was extreme low profile. You couldn’t see it at a glance it was so low unlike others. But Checker Pro is out of business oh well I guess I’ll do without one, Thanks guys!

    Tonneau low-profile?

    Hi, about 15 years ago I think the company was called Checker Pro made a low profile tonneau cover for my 1981 Silverado. I don’t think they make it anymore or went out of business. Does the 1973-87 square body trucks create a lot of wind drag or not? Also who make a low profile tonneau cover...

    Porter cherry bombs?

    Hi, from my experience Porter Shorty cherry bombs are louder than Cherry Bomb cherry bombs and Thrush brand also. Does anyone know of another brand besides Porter that’s louder? I need 2-1/4” inlets and outlets. I’ll swap on whatever is recommended to see if there louder myself.

    Side post?

    Never mind I just checked the battery tray sits up so high a top post battery the hood wouldn’t close on and I’m not drilling in holes in it to lower the tray. I know for a fact it originally came with a side post battery because the sticker on the inner fender is still intact and shows so to.

I know it’s a novice question but I haven’t ran my truck since 2003 at 20y years of age I was and can’t remember the cons. Also is there a internet link to property...
