    What have you done to your square lately??

    Cleaned it up, changed out a couple ground cables for some thick boys I made from welding leads, and changed out short filter and air cleaner lid for the taller Big Block style air cleaner.

    PCV manifold or ported vacuum?

    carb number 17083442. Here is a photo of the vacuum diagram under my hood. It shows a hose from carb to T and one side of T goes to PCV, other side goes to Decel Valve (whatever that is), and small fitting on top of PCV valve goes to cannister.

    Great, that's how it is. Could bad PCV valve cause massive oil consumption.

    Broken hearted kid and fuel system

    I have a suggestion, might be stupid. Do you have the fuel filter facing the correct direction??? IF it was in the wrong way, that would allow it to run when you fill the bowl, but not from the pump.

    83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]

    My understanding is that is the choke pull-off. It is hooked to the choke linkage and also has to do with allowing the rear barrels to open.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I've done a budget LED headlight upgrade on my Square. I used Glass H4 housings, H4 LED bulbs, and Wiring harness socket adapters, all from Amazon. They will work without the adapter sockets, but the high beam and low beams are reversed. I used the adapters to reverse the two wires for high...

    Temp gauge problem

    I was driving my 83 pickup (305 bone stock) on the 4th and the temp gauge is pegging out to maximum, but the truck shouldn't even be warmed up yet. The coolant is cool to the touch. It stays pegged out even if the key is off, and even if the battery is unhooked. That would have to be the...
