Help with starting 79 k20 400SBC
Welcome from Austria. Is it tdc or could it be that timing is 180° off? Add some advance, around 8-12. Choke is set up right? Idle mixture screws have a base setting? Spark plug cables are in the right order? Check everything and if all is right try to start again.- ali_c20

Welcome from Austria. Watch some episodes of Stay Tuned, Vice Grip Garage, Finnegan's Garage or Roadkill. There are many shows that show how to revive a car that sat for decades.- ali_c20

Hello From NorCal
You have a truck without catalytic converter. The stickers vary with years, if it is a truck with catalytic converter it would be on the sticker. Your AIR system has to work. Make an emission test then you know if your system works or what needs to be fixed.- ali_c20

Hello From NorCal
Yes the sticker on the air cleaner or on top of the radiator support. If it is a truck with catalytic converter the word CATALYST is very prominent on the decal. Or NON CATALYST.- ali_c20

VEGE Torque Converters?
It's a company founded in the Netherlands. They do remanufacturing for like 80 years and are owned by LKQ which is an American company. Reviews look good on Summit, I would go for one.- ali_c20

Can anyone identify this rubbing noise?
Separately. It's just 2 bearings, 2 bearing races and the inner seal per side. Go to your local auto part store and get quality bearings.- ali_c20

Carb help? (With pictures)
Welcome from Austria. When starting with the engine cold the choke plate should be closed. Step on the accelerator before cranking and the choke plate should close. As soon as the engines fire up the choke plate is opened a little by the vacuum pull of. It runs on higher rpm for faster engine...- ali_c20

CARBURETOR DATED
I had luck with Carter pumps, all working without flaw. Fuel pressure ratings and real pressure is not matching most of the time. That's why I run fuel pressure regulators.- ali_c20
