    Dimmer Switch

    I found the problem, I was correct, it was way out of adjustment. Whoever must have gotten it in and pulled the retainer clip and left it like that and never adjusted it against the rod.

    Dimmer Switch

    Getting my 84 GMC C1500 ready for Power Tour and looking to see if my theory is correct. It's been 40 years since I have replaced a dimmer switch.The dimmer switch stalk has felt spongy since I bought the truck, no crisp click when changing from high to low beam and the high beam indicator...

    Fuel Valve Replaced

    I did on mine because the nipples on the new reproduction valve are smaller than an oem.

    Fuel Valve Replaced

    I did the same thing as you, replaced 1 tank the sending unit, valve and switch. Now usually around 35 to 40 mph once the truck is warmed up, I get a hesitation. I was figuring it was the accelerator pump in the Quadrajet, but being you describe the same symptoms, I don't know.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    My wife and I went this year, and had a lot of fun. We plan on going again next year. Just a couple things I will do different.

    Dual fuel tanks and valves

    I have an 84 GMC C1500 with dual tanks. My switching valve is on the passenger side near the fuel tank. Follow the fuel lines coming out of each tank and it should lead you to the valve. Mine has a heat/ dust shield covering it.

    Power Tour

    Quadrajet accelerator pump part number

    I just got one from Quadrajet Power. I emailed them the numbers on the Carb and they sent back the part numbers that fit my carb. Fast shipping when I ordered.

    What Engine Do I Have

    It runs pretty good as is, and isn't going to get modified. I bought it to be just a driver and for the Power Tour. My wanting big horsepower days are gone, I have seen what it has done to vehicles and my wallet. Ricko, I'm probably over packing, but I want to take an extra fuel pump as that...

    What Engine Do I Have

    I didn't look, but I'm assuming they are the stock heads. I'm trying to figure out what fuel pump to buy for it as a spare for Power Tour. I'm assuming that in 94 it came with an electric pump. It has a manual on it now. I have been out of the Square body game for a long time.

    What Engine Do I Have

    I just changed my search wording on the internet, and found a list from LMC Trucks. They list "FSC" as a 1994 350(5.7L) so I guess I'm all set.

    What Engine Do I Have

    I have a 1984 GMC C1500 that originally a 305. The engine in it now is supposed to be a 350. The only number I can see is on the pad on the passenger side of the engine behind the alternator. That number is V0826FSC I tried looking for the casting number at the rear but there is too much stuff...

    how fast is your power window?

    I have a 84 C1500, mine are slow also. I thought I might be changing motors, but they still seem to work, just real slow.

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    You're right, it's that flat piece of steel that you need 2 gaskets for. When I initially purchased my carb (I purchased it directly from Edelbrock), I couldn't get it to seal. I called their Tech Line and was told no way would it seal without the plate, and the sales person should have told me...

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    Obviously you are much smarter than I am. A fuel pump pumps fuel. As long as it's the right one for my application, I use it. If my info helps fine if not, don't worry about it. Been playing with farm equipment, cars and trucks for 50 years, I have done ok so far.

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    Didn't say it would, and didn't say it was the same, and didn't say it would fit a chevy. I don't spend every waking minute looking at my car's parts. All this with the carb took place at least 5 years ago. I was just trying to help you out in case the problem I had was the same as yours. An...

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    It's the same as any other mechanical pump. Could even be a GM pump, AMC sourced parts from all manufacturers. It has a GM distributor, Ford starter and a Chrysler transmission.

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    This was all on my 1973 AMC Javelin with a 360 V8. I believe it's a 3 port but I would have to look. The car runs pretty good now so I just leave it alone. I check the gauge on the regulator every once in awhile to make sure it hasn't wandered. I'm sure it's not the original pump, but I don't...

    Oh and the car has a mechanical fuel pump on it.

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    I did the adapter plate first. I did the regulator a couple of years later as I will still struggling with idle issues. I actually saw about the FPR in a YouTube video, and checked the carb book and sure enough it was in there about a regulator. I don't remember exactly what my fuel pressure...

    Edelbrock Adapter questions

    I checked the part # and it's Edelbrock Carburetor Adapter # 2732. I had problems getting it to seal to the Edelbrock intake. I called their help line and was told I would never get it to seal without one. This was several years ago. The book that came with my 1406 when I purchased it, also says...
