    Wiper Problems.

    his is a 86 so it shouldn't have the built in pump if I remember right. I think in 85 they went to the electric in washer fluid tank pump? I knw I just took one off a 85 and addapted it onto a 81 since I couldn't keep original in wiper one working

    Where are My RPO Codes?

    Not always true. I've seen alot of them on top of the inner fenders on the drivers side in the engine compartment. Just Junked a 83 and that's where they were. Good luck being able to read them tho, was a bad place for them

    I have a friend that wired in 2 alternators on his offroad truck to keep up with the lights. Not sure how he wired it tho. Run deep cycle batterys that helps out a bunch.

    Big block cutting out when you stomp it

    A friend of mine had 3 bad eldbrocks from the auto zoo in a row. Just because there new doesn't mean there right. Your vacum advance working and the advance weights loose in distributer?

    Went from love to hate.

    Leave those 2 adjusting screws alone, the one you want is on the linkage on side of carb where throttle cable hooks. Should be facing rearward and towards the bottom on front of drivers side of carburetor. The two in front side are idle air adjustments. Another thing check for a vacuum leak if...

    1987 chevy r20 no spark or fuel

    Best part is even buying all those parts, it was still cheaper than a diagnosing fee you would have had with a newer car. Plus I've found most parts are available easy for our squares. Unless your in my town looking for big block or K30 parts and no one stocks them anymore since there's only 2...

    Big block cutting out when you stomp it

    Float levels may be to low in carb, or the accelerator pump may be cracked. Might have a bad fuel filter to.

    1987 chevy r20 no spark or fuel

    I had one once have a wire break off the pickup coil. That's why I was asking earlier if you checked the wires on it. The pickup coil tells the computer that the engine is cranking and how much to fuel it for the rpm. It also tells the engine when to spark. It works same as crank sensor on newer...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    That one is in impressive shape for most around here. I just built a trailer out of one that the tailgate worked on and was excited to find one that good on a truck off street.

    1987 chevy r20 no spark or fuel

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    That's a heck of a deal. Up here where i'm from there is very little body parts left. The rust belt has finished off everything that hasn't been well taken care of. I take it those are a pic a part yard or do they pull them? That's been a dream of mine to buy rustfree trucks down south and...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    I sell repairable long beds for $350 so yea a nice long longbed should sell easy for $500. Last rustfree one I had with a small dent in side I sold for $450 next day after I got the truck in. I sell nice oem doors for $100 each as fast as I can find them to. Complete takeoffs tho so It's...

    1981 C10 Horn Button problems

    two screws to the dash and your good to go. As said in first post that will not work in the steering column. I'm almost betting someone took the column apart at one point and lost a part or didn't get something back in right. more than likely you will have to diassemble the top of column and...

    Truck died when switching tanks

    Thats a pretty kool idea. Only thing is wouldn't the return line suck air? or you think in tank pumps would provide plenty of fuel so it wouldn't?

    Bored and want something to talk about.

    I've heard tell of engine builders porting out intake, heads, and stock exhaust manifolds and gaining a 100 hp on dyno with stock engine. Little tricks like that is time consuming, but free hp. I know my dad just built a 1000 hp 526 and spent days on porting and polishing internals to get it to...
