    Reverse light options

    MA antique registered vehicles are exempt from annual inspections, but there are restrictions on their use.

    Reverse light options

    Find a different inspection station. I may know of one in the 508 area code. Read up on Mass. 540CMR 4.04 (10)(d) there is no mention of how they work, only that they must work.

    Side marker led lights dim when marker lights on

    I haven't been able to find out what/who's bulbs I used and I don't have the truck any more. I kinda remember the bulbs had a built in resistor, not sure it was a few years ago. You may try to put the bulbs in 180* and see what happens.

    Side marker led lights dim when marker lights on

    My vote is for the wrong type of LED 194 bulbs. I had a similar issue and solved it with the "correct" LED's. :cheers:

    Did you test fit with a torque converter in place? If so, maybe it wasn't fully seated.

    Engine & transmission removal & reinstall general tips

    The radiator & core support can stay in place IF your lifting device can pick it up high enough to clear.

    1982 250cu fuel issue

    What came first, the new carb, fuel pump and filter or the stumbling? Have you tried to crank it over with the fuel line disconnected from the carb to check flow? Have you tried to put air pressure (5psi max.) to test between the tank and fuel pump inlet hose to check for restriction?

    6.5 turbo swap with a/c

    Not going to fit with the stock a/c box, plus with the stock turbo exhaust manifold's down pipe won't clear the frame and or cab without a body lift.

    '84 K20 Suburban re-wire

    The HEI wire on a gas harness can be used to activate the diesel injector pump. It probably needs to be a bit longer and there may be a few other minor changes that I can't think of right away.
