    Fuel Pump Woes and Questions

    Roger that, thanks for that Ricko! Still, I think I'll tear into her this weekend, and get rid of the Mr. Gasket electric, install a new mechanical pump, blow out all the lines and maybe replace the fuel caps. Speaking of which, is there a good way to see if a fuel cap is bad? I know that it...

    Fuel Pump Woes and Questions

    LOL No worries. Re-adjusted my timing (without vacuum) to about 9°. Seemed to help. I also unscrewed the fuel caps. That helped a ton. Still, she's missing at at idle. I should clarify, that I may have been wrong in my assessment of #5 not firing. I 'think' it's number five because it...

    Fuel Pump Woes and Questions

    Roger that Snoots. I'll probably be pulling the fuel tanks and taking a gander in there at the socks. Having said that, I loosened up my fuel tank caps, and that seemed to have made a pretty difference. She still not perfect, but I was able to keep her moving without too much trouble. I'll...

    Fuel Pump Woes and Questions

    Good morning folks. I've actually got two problems I'll be asking about. Let me know if I should split them and have separate threads. :) Rebuilt the Qjet on my 83 last weekend, and everything went well. The carb wasn't in too bad of shape, but I did notice that all of the bolts/screws were...

    QJet Linkage

    G'mornin folks! Does this look right to y'all? It seems like that vacuum operated solenoid isn't connected to anything. New to QJets, so please bear with me. :)

    QJet Identification

    I've done some searching, but not having any luck identifying the carb that's on my 83 K20. Looks like the numbers are "17080213" Any of you good folks have some data on my Qjet? Thanks!!

    Quadrajet Part Question

    Quick question for all you Quadrajet Gurus. I pulled the Q-Jet off this morning for a refresh. The truck in question is my recently acquired 1983 K20 with cruise control and A/C. As I was pulling the carb off, a nipple broke off of this part. (Not sure how to post directly, so I'll have it...

    Thanks for all your suggestions, I really appreciate it. I was under a time crunch yesterday (I'm over 9 hours from home), and made a decision that I hope won't come back to bite me in the a$$. I went with a local tire dealer that had a set of 285/75 R16s in stock. They were of the...

    As I drove from Houston to Kansas last night, I got to thinking. Could I put a tire on a stock '83 K20 that was a bit wider AND a bit taller? I was thinking I'd go with the 265, but is there another option that would fill up the wheel well a bit more, without rubbing? Thanks again

    Howdy folks! I'm finally on my way to go pick up Ol' Blue. I had a plan a back in May of going up, but COVID put a kabash on that, but I'm finally getting up there to get her road ready again. With that being said, I'm going to be changing out the tires (the existing are showing signs of...

    Goodyear Wrangler Radials

    Not to hi-jack this thread or anything, but how does the cost delta play out when you go to mount them? Road hazard, stems, lifetime rotation/balance, that sort of thing? Thanks for the tip!
