    Th350 not shifting

    Hey Guys, I have a ‘77 c10 400/th350. The transmission is newly rebuilt. The 400 has a pretty aggressive cam. I’ve checked my vacuum hose and fluids. The transmission won’t shift 1st to 2nd. I can drive in R or 1st, but it won’t shift into 2nd. Is it possible I need a power vacuum booster...

    Msd 8207

    So should I just run a wire from the unused ign tab in the cab to the coil?

    Msd 8207

    No, sir. I am not. The 8207 manual says it’s not required. How does your 8207 or box get 12v? Which wire? Do you use the wiring junction block on the firewall or no?

    Msd 8207

    Hello All, I have a ‘77 C10, sbc400(406)/th350. The truck was stripped when I got it. It had no engine wiring harness or distributor. I installed the Summit ready to run distributor and a MSD 8207 blaster SS coil. I’ve tried to wire this coil how they have in the installation manual but it...

    Exhaust pipe bracket

    Instead of welding in brackets/hangers, I decided to run an aluminum angle from one side to the other and bolt my hangers to that. I’ll trim the hangers down. Does anyone see an issue with that?

    Anyone run 18” on your 2WD?

    I did switch back to the other wire and it fired up and shut down as it should.

    Bolt pattern adapter

    Are there any sites that sell wheels that fit squarebodies but will list wheels outside of the factory perameters? Some of them do, but not very well. Such as, why would a website say that a 18 X 9 1/2 wheel with 5x5 bolt pattern, 5.5” Bs, and 3.3”CBD not fit a 1977 Chevy C10? Is it just...

    I did get it running last night. I had this feeling that it was a fuel issue. I started tinkering with the carb fuel bowl levels. When I cranked them way down, it would fire and keep running. But then I couldn’t get the truck to stop running. I turned the key off and it kept running. I think...

    I actually need both. My truck was single pipe but the brackets were rotted.

    Bolt pattern adapter

    Hello, Have any of used bolt pattern adapters? How do they hold up? Are there downsides to using them? I want 17x8 up front. That’s not a problem. I want 17x10 in the rear. I can’t get the rims I like in a 5x5(127). I can get them in a 5x114.3. Thoughts?

    Exhaust pipe bracket

    Hello All, Regarding the bracket that bolts to the inside of the frame- For those of you who have gone from single to dual exhaust or have needed to replace an exhaust bracket, what have you used or where have you bought one? I can’t find new oem style brackets. I thought that maybe I would fab...

    Alright, I ran a wire from the battery aux + to the coil +. The truck is firing/turning over the same way.

    So my buddy, who owns a shop and builds hot rods, stopped by yesterday. We went through the TDC/distributor process again. It took a little tweaking of the distributor but we got the engine fired up. However, it won’t stay running or idle. As soon as you let the key go and take your foot off the...

    Alright, I turned it over to tdc again. The rotor was 180 (but that doesn’t mean it actually is 180). So I pulled the distributor and reset it again. I cranked it over, and it backfired in flameballed out of the carb. I don’t have anyone here to crank it while I turn the distributor, so I...

    Yes. It’s sputters and gets real close to firing but won’t.
