    Size bolt/screw for vent windows to attach to door

    I had one missing from my passenger side. I just got real patient and pushed a bolt through and screwed a lock nut on with long pliers holding the nut inside the door. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

    Dash Alignment

    Doesn't look that bad in the picture but I'm sure some of you can relate.. maybe I need some nut clips on the padded part of the dash for the screws to grab onto? There's certainly something missing. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

    Dash Alignment

    Hey Guys - I may be poor at search function but I cant be the only person to experience this. The top/left side of my dash and instrument gauge bezel have large gaps in them. This is the case on my K10 and K5. Pretty sure the dash is new on the K10 and original on the k5. Does anyone have any...

    Timing and Dieseling

    Been a while on this thread but all is well with "Donald Truck" timing lights, vacuum guages, and internet's about vac advance, mech advance, base timing, timing curves, etc... For one thing... Get yourself an adjustable vac advance. Mine pulls 20 effing inches for some crazy reason and I'm...

    Timing for stock 350?

    I should say that if all your emissions are hooked up, the sticker in front of your radiator will tell you the factory setting Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Oil light switch leak?

    Forgot to write back about this. Bought a $10 switch and a $10 switch socket from advance... Hooked it on my floppy socket and Bob's your uncle. Thanks again for this forum. I just couldn't fathom that much oil escaping a switch that small with a leak that small. Another square lives Sent from...

    Whutizit ??

    Fun fact - if your oil switch plug isn't changed for long enough.... It will burst and 2 quarts of oil will spray out of your engine. And if you just had an oil change, you may think it's trans fluid. And then you'll cry and panic but then realize you only have to screw a $10 sensor on. :-)...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Do you actually want a gasket? Does your heat riser still serve a function? If not - pay an extra $20 and have a muffler shop replace it with tubing and forget about it.... It's function was intended for warm up and choke like applications. I'm like you and appreciate the stock functions of...

    Timing for stock 350?

    Alright, there are plenty more knowledgeable than me on here but let me give a try at helping all I can and take the beating where I'm wrong. "Every engine is different" yada yada.. true but there is also a ballpark where you can make sense of things. As told, you will hear between 34-36deg...

    Oil light switch leak?

    I drove my truck for maybe the third time in 2 months the other day for about 5 miles. When i parked, oil was pouring out from underneath. I think I tracked it to the oil light switch. My question is, how does the switch take on oil to leak that much and how do I get it off and torqued on...

    Exploring Exhaust Note Options

    For reference, I had true duals without cats and had 20" glass packs. Replaced them with a random set of turbos and the noise in the cab was almost gone but still had a nice sound when outside. I can ALMOST sneak away. Although not quite.... If that helps Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Exploring Exhaust Note Options

    Without any exhaust leaks, a run of the mill turbo would sound good. Depending on your location, if you're required to have cats on a vehicle you're age, those would soften the noise and prob give you what you're looking for, assuming the raspy deep flowmax isn't your cup of tea.

    305 Slow Uphill, Dizzy Weights?

    Also the push and pull I felt was because I had crappy wires that were too thin and not separated well enough from each other or other metal causing spark jump. Another issue was my dizzy wasn't hooked up to an actual manifold source (holy cow was that an upgrade!) And last off, I used some...

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Update - had them pull the heat riser and miscommunication led them putting it back on with new donut gaskets instead of replacing with a new freaking pipe. Either way, that was the bulk of my tick. The rest was slightly loose manifold bolts and manifold to down pipe flange bolts. Tighten those...

    engine dress up

    So I'm a sucker and needed more shallow valve covers to clear my AC compressor. $55 and I think they look pretty damn good. I'm told they'll rust and flake though ;-)...

    73-80 Red Bench Seat

    What should this thing go for? It's in great shape I just wanted gray and ended up buying an 85 seat to recover. Foam, fabric, and springs in great condition. I had hog rings off the driver side to inspect (hence the fabric wrinkle). It'll bolt in a 73-87. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Exhaust/valve tick

    Yes, mine looks like the one on post 7. But if you look up by the actuating rods, youll see you are looking straight down on the actuator plate (looks like a 7). While in that position, the valve shows open. So I wired mine against the spring tension so that plate was in line with the pipe (like...
