    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    Also don't blow compressed air in the EVAP can, at least while everything is hooked up to the carb...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    @Grit dog Here's the pump in post #21: Edelbrock Part #17303 (I'm 90% sure). Just for clarity, the accelerator pump was working and moving; it was the power piston, which metered the primaries, that was stuck shut somehow. Maybe there's a connection between the two but I'm just stating it to be...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    So the 4MV had a different fuel inlet and I didn't want to jank together a makeshift fuel connection. I ended up cleaning up the OEM (I think) M4ME. One thing I noticed during disassembbly, aside from all the bits of charcoal in the bowl, was that the power piston was slammed down and wouldn't...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    @Snoots No catalytic converter @Ricko1966 I haven't run the vacuum test on the carb yet. I was able to turn on my truck and turn it around so I don't get a ticket until it started giving me problems again. This is the fuel pump I have and it's delivering fuel but I did not formally check volume...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    Got the new canister and test drove it yesterday with everything hooked up. All the EFE/AIR Pump stuff has been deleted. I drove it and it died again, thankfully before I left my neighborhood. I thought it was the venting thing again so I disconnected all the vent lines to the fuel tank and took...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    @DoubleDingo Yeah I'm picking up what you're putting down. This post was ultimately meant to be a question to the community with some back story, as you mentioned. I'll just keep it concise next time. Thanks

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    Fair enough. I'm also using this forum as a truck diary/library lol. TL;DR Engine stalled and eventually started rough idling. I cut the vent hose between the evap can and gas tank and it started up. Please help me fix

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    I am going to throw money at a new canister and a new PCV valve. I have part number 17061005BT so it's probably original and needs to get replaced anyways. I see that my PCV valve is covered in oil so I am going to replace that as well as all the vapor/vacuum hoses I touch. Here is my hose routing

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    No bites yet from this crowd but in my research I found this image. It may be useful to someone out there.I don't know if it's exactly for GM but it seems exactly what I have for my 5/6 port. I just hate not knowing what's going on in the black box and I don't want to cut my hard-to-find...

    Engine Stalling - Bad EVAP/Charcoal Canister?

    I tried doing some research and didn't find anything relevant so here is a new thread. There is a question at the end, I am just trying to give as much back story as I can. Without further adieu... So last week I was changing out the fuel sender on my stock 350 sbc QJet-M4M3 1983 K20 p/u and...

    Door Jamb Switch Restoration

    The only problem about buying new switches from what I gathered were the length of the actual switch or the threads not fitting the hole. In some instances they seemed to be too long for the door to close properly or were not the right size for the preexisting hole in the body. I didn't want to...

    Door Jamb Switch Restoration

    Have you thrown away parts because "they're cheap" or because you thought they were no longer useful or work cleaning? I just wanted to let everyone know as a PSA that restoring these door jamb switches are insanely easy. Mainly because of how dumb the switches are. No complications at all. Just...

    Parking Brake Light Not Coming On

    So I tested the parking brake switch and it produced ground when it was supposed to just as our messiah and savior Paul Hitch intended to. When I tested the prop valve, the gauge side of the circuit was grounded (more than likely from the engaged parking switch) but the prop combo valve was not...

    Parking Brake Light Not Coming On

    So I found sometime last week to do a quick test. The switch only had one wire that was brown/tan with a white stripe and it essentially just connects the circuit to the ground. This is looks like it's done by screwing into the parking brake assembly which is bolted to the body which is...

    Parking Brake Light Not Coming On

    Good Evening. I am trying to trouble shoot my brake light not coming on on my dash. I have never seen it on once and never again. I have new bulbs + sockets and know that the bulb is working because I have bench tested each light and gauge for functionality so, I know it's not the bulb unlike...

    Source for new gauge needles

    I actually ran into a similar issue taking the gauge cluster off. I'm planning on having a friend 3d print some unique needles to fit. Or I may finally pull the trigger on a 3d printer...

    Cup Holder Options

    I bought the backup cam and installed it. I will post later about it. Super easy to wire and install. Here are the two cup holders I considered for my bench. I ended up going with the hard plastic one because 1) It was made in the USA 2) As nice as the boat foam holder one was, I can and...

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    So for anyone looking for carburetor hose or carburetor air intake duct or anything in-between (hey, that sounds right, right?) I've gotten a lot of hits on this part as a carburetor pre-heater hose or duct

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    @Craig 85 or anyone else reading this, what is this part called? I can't seem to find it for my K20 or the air cleaner for that matter. I've looked up variations of snorkel tub and carburetor intake hose. I also think I'm just dumb however that's a different story :D

    Cup Holder Options

    That's a good idea. I ended up buying some bench cup holders at the recommendation of another thread and will probably post results when they arrive. There's just something about drilling into the original metal that doesn't sit well with me, but with plastic, I can drill holes all days...

    Cup Holder Options

    I was thinking at the bottom of the door like in this pic. I was hoping to get something to hold my protein shake so it doesn't spill everywhere! Having a manual K20 with a floor shifter limits my options

    Cup Holder Options

    Anyone think these may be good cup holders if you attach them to a strong magnet? Looking to add cup holders without drilling anything. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0097YH972/
