    Fuel supply issue

    I've not experienced this with my current truck, but I had a 78 Monte Carlo (damn, I loved that car), that did this. Same scenario. Ran great if I ran it every day, but leave it for 2 or 3, and she'd be a B**** to start unless I through a little fuel or laughing gas down the old fire make it...

    Fuel supply issue

    When you say 'prime' the Q-Jet, are you talking about turning it over for a bit before it starts? Or are you talking about giving the big pedal a few pumps before starting? If it's the former, did you rebuild the Q-Jet yourself, or have someone else do it? There's a couple of fuel plugs in...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks! Still trying to figure out her gauges. ;)

    What have you done to your square lately??

    HAHA! Actually, ALL of my gauges are goofy. I was about 1/2 tank when I took the pic this morning!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Been working on my instrument cluster lately. Still having issues with the gauges, but decided while I was in there, I'd change out the incandescent bulbs to dimmable LEDs. Worked like a charm, and I can see my broken guages now!! Link for the bulbs I used...

    Header/Exhaust thoughts

    Yep, that first video from Summit is what led me down the rabbit hole of confusion. I've run LT headers and loved them, but was really curious about the shortys based on the reasons above. Pretty sure I'm going with LTs. ;)

    Header/Exhaust thoughts

    So, I was looking into shortys mainly because I didn't want to modify my existing exhaust pipes. It seems though, that I can't find a set of shortys (Jegs/Summit/GSMB sponsors) that wouldn't require exhaust modification anyway, so I'm back to ordering some long tubes. With that being said, I...

    Header/Exhaust thoughts

    Thanks Snoots, that's what I'm thinking as well. I'd like to get them ordered soon, but every website only shows long tubes for an 83 K20. Any pointers to get me going in the right direction?

    Header/Exhaust thoughts

    Haven't had a chance to do any work on Blue, my work schedule is pretty intense these days. I'm not complaining though. :) I hate even bringing this up, but I'm contemplating getting some shortys in there. I've read (although there are differing opinions on the subject) that shortys are...

    My personal favorite. :favorites37:

    Hey Snoots, which part of his post are you disagreeing with? Everything I've read indicates lower engine compartment temperatures with the installation of ceramic headers.

    QJet Linkage

    Was searching for something else and ran across my own dang post. Gotta get better at watching my own threads! lol It seems strange that carb would have a choke pull off vacuum, but no way to attach the linkage. If that's the only thing the vacuum diaphragm does, should I just leave it...

    Gauge resistors or Complete Gauges

    Man, that's awesome! Sending PM!

    Temp gauge issues

    Backfoot, thank you for this post, and the information found within. I've run into a situation similar to yours. Both my voltmeter and temperature gauge are inop. The voltmeter never moves off of 0, my temp gauge reads maxed out and fluctuates very slightly after engine heats up. I've...

    Gauge resistors or Complete Gauges

    Looking for the resistors on the back of both the Voltmeter and Temperature Gauge (mine are both open..). Or the complete gauge, that would be fine too. Thanks!

    Header/Exhaust thoughts

    Bit of an update! So, my work schedule is...increasing. I'll be pushing 96 hours or so a week for the next three weeks. Needless to say, I'm not going to have a ton of time to tinker. I needed a solution for the leaky muffler and exhaust manifold, so I took her into a local fella and had him...

    Temperature Gauge Open Resistor

    So, my gauge has been reading high, meaning it maxes out on startup first thing in the morning. It seems to move a bit as the engine warms, but obviously somethings wrong here. I ohm'd out the sending unit, and checked for grounds, but all was good. Decided to pull the dash, and found that...

    Stumble at low rpm in gear.

    If you're sure the filters are clean, I would check choke operation and linkages first. Mainly, cause it's the easiest. Just my .02 ;)

    Need Shocks...and maybe new kidneys

    10-4, I'll do that. When I got the tires installed, they had 70 pounds in them. Might have actually chipped a tooth on the way home. lol Brought them down to 40, but I'm thinking I can go lower, right? How low can I go without damaging the tire, and/or reducing the life of the tire? I'm...

    I'll look into those. Smooth(er) ride? Thanks!

    Need Shocks...and maybe new kidneys

    So, I've got my '83 K20 up at running, and am temporarily running it as my DD (I left my true DD in KS, I'll pick up someday ;) ). First , I love driving this thing!! Definitely a trip down memory lane when I get behind the wheel! That being said, as I drive her more and more, and get some...

    All gauges are wonky...

    Illumination is dim, but seems to be working. Clock isn't working, no. I believe the fuel gauge moves toward the empty mark, but I can't say for certain. I'll check when I get home 4WD light works, as does the brake (emergency) and the seat belt signal. Thanks!
