    Help with starting 79 k20 400SBC

    yep, the leak is probably from not torqueing the heads correctly or not resurfacing the heads or needing better headgaskets that thin metal ones. good gaskets for rebuilds are not cheap. probably a waste of time but coolant in the cylinder will make that plug look really clean. a shortcut can be...

    '87 Blazer bucket seat foam replacement

    I have not found a upholstery guy that will attempt this job. A local guy found some seats in a dodge van that were very similiar to the blazer seats even the same shade of blue. my 86 k5 has 87 or 88 seats that are still pretty good but showing some wear. I tried to get them covered in blue...

    First time "real" painting.

    they make what they call nib files that do just that you can file the nibs down and it saves cutting and buffing time they also work on sags or runs but you gotta be careful as a run or sag can take several days to harden, if you mess with it too soon it can cause a mess.

    First time "real" painting.

    ok, ppg primers were non sanding epoxies down first then sanding primer over that then any filler on that. non sanding usually means it will "ball" up under sand paper but you can get by with scotchbrite if you clean it out after a few swipes usually to get some trash out before the sandable...

    GMC-IH

    ih travellalls and 70s pickups and 800 scouts all had fender tanks, I'm not sure but one of them might fit your application. When the far east embargo happened in the 70s I built two more tanks for my j200 so I could make it to the deerlease and part of the way back so I could get enough fuel to...
