    Finishing 350 swap. No spark

    ok the esc worked fine with the 305. when swapping in the 350 i wanted as little junk as possible on the engine. so i took most of it off not realizing the sensors wires and such could mess the dizzy and/or carb up. i thought the newer dizzy and carb would just function like ones typical on the...

    Finishing 350 swap. No spark

    Thats exactly what im getting at haha. I still have everything I believe, so it could be just a matter of reinstalling a few things. But it was running before so I know it works. I think the issue then was the accelerator pump because I reconnected that since it completely stopped working. That...

    Finishing 350 swap. No spark

    In theory, it should work since the trucks electrical system dizzy and carb are all stock... right? All I swapped was the intake manifold on down so it should all interchange, I think. The only problem is I got ahead of myself and asumed all I needed were the vaccum advance, brakes and other...

    Finishing 350 swap. No spark

    Anyways, now that ive thought about it, i think i lost spark after I cut all the esc wires going to the distributor. The green and black ones are spliced but the white and brown ones are disconnected. I looked around but cannot figure out what theyre for. Anyone? Do I need them?

    Finishing 350 swap. No spark

    I recently swapped a 75 350 in my 86 k10 and am having some issues. The 350 has the electric carb and hei from the original 305. Swapped it in and drove it but ran like crap and bogged down over 1/4 throttle. Problem got worse and figured it might be carb related since the original engine was...

    needin some speakers

    SQ guys will laugh at 4x10's, and besides which there is hardly a market for them. But if you are just lookin for tunes there are some options. Pyle makes 4x10s and 3.5s at a good price.

    Any Father/Son trucks out there?

    my 86 is a grandfather/ grandson truck. He bought it new because he wanted something with 4wd in case it snowed (he was an on call doctor back then). He daily drove it for only about 5 years. I got my grandma to convince him to give it to me for my birthday. Once i got it it only had 36k on the...

    4" lift 33's or 35's?

    if you do the proper bumpstop setup if should be fine, i had to get new bumpstops and put a spacer in order to prevent rub/ bottoming the shocks

    4" lift 33's or 35's?

    with a 4 inch lift id say definitely 35's, it doesnt look too stuffed to me. 33s would look too small (i personally dont like a jacked up/small tire look). if you wanted an extra inch id get the zero inch add a leaves instead of a body lift :doublepuke:
