The Best Carburetor?
I am a carburetor dunce. I can't make old Qjets work well or stay in tune and I'm too lazy to learn. The last 5 sbc that I have owned I take the offending Qjet off and put an adaptor on the stock manifold and mount an Edelbrock 600 cfm with an electric choke and drive it around. I am not a...- Long Rider

Something killing battery
I recently bought a C20 that had been in a storage shed since May of 2012. One of the problems was the same as yours. I put a new battery in it and then Had my wife start it while I watched with the hood up. Sparks were shooting from my exhaust manifold. The heat shield had rubbed a small hole...- Long Rider

Storage tray
The pasteboard one I had was a wreck. I wasn't trying to keep it original, so I did this. I glued a couple of 1x2 inch boards in the detents in the cab and then screwed the rifle rack into the wood, so I didn't have anything going through the cab to the outside. I also used the original type of...- Long Rider

Fuel filler issue. This can’t be right.
I have found that holding the filler upside down works for me as well. I have to do the same thing filling the 67 Fairlane and the 58 Biscayne.- Long Rider

Factory hei distributor and coil
What 73cheynne said but take the small tube of grease that came with it too. I think the two most common thing that brought Cs and Ks into our shop on a hook were control modules and the white colored rotors. Not sure what GM was doing to the white rotors, but they were a very common fail. If...- Long Rider

Interior Package
What TotalyHucked said. " Even when these were new, the interiors were about 10 different shades of whatever color they were." I have done 4 of these SQ Bdys now and have had good results with LMC for retractable seat belts, lower door panel carpet sets, bench seat hinge covers, door sill...- Long Rider

Seat recovering
Save a lot of pain and suffering and go buy a good set of hog ring plyers. You can also save yourself some time, sore hands and frustration by covering the foam with some "BIG" trash bags and then slide the new upholstery over them, get everything lined up then pull the bin liner out. Helpful...- Long Rider

Remove accessories from this old truck?
I would pull them and save them. You might want them back on after some time goes by or you could sell them and use the money for something you know you want.- Long Rider
