    Anyone running the ProFlo4XT FI?

    I have been running this setup on my '74 C20 for a couple years now. I opted for the Remote Sump Option as well, since I didn't want to swap out the gas tank for an F.I. Tank. Plus, the system was on sale AND the Remote Sump was FREE with a purchase. In the past, I had nothing but trouble with...

    Ground problem?

    FWIW - I got tired of chasing ground issues with multiple ground locations. Many were in difficult to reach locations without removing other parts to get to the connections. So, I finally moved every ground to a Grounding Block that was placed in a more convenient location and grounded the block...

    Polishing a turd

    In Maine, I thought everyone let the wind and rain was their vehicles for them. "Ethel, pull the car out... storm's a com'in!"

    Hold back the tears...it's gonna make you cry.

    Sure it is... Tell them President Trump want's them to go to the crusher and not sold to a private party for $500. You'll have them inside a week. Seems to work for everything else these days.

    Loud Bang, something broke, then bad vibration in park or driving

    When I installed my Edelbrock EFI Conversion on my '74 project, I followed another threads suggestion and got a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee electric fan, which fit like OEM inside my factory shroud. I Drilled two small bolt holes in the shroud to line up with the fans side tabs and cut one small...

    Shaking while med-hard braking.

    I have had rotors with "hard spots" that didn't wear like the rest of the rotor and had to be replaced, calipers that wouldn't maintain constant pressure, etc. A good front end shop will be able to diagnose it. Fortunately for me, my brother has his own business doing this for 40+ years...

    Instrument cluster lighting issues

    I had a similar issue after someone else "worked" on my '73. A lot of weird "working" "not working" combinations with the lights, turn signals, flashers, etc... Ended up being a poorly reconnected ground wire.

    Dash bezel interchange

    I wanted to preserve my OEM dash bezel on my '74 build, so I bought another " '74 " off Ebay. I reworked the gauge holes to accept my Speedhut gauges and had it hydro-dipped in Red/Black Carbon Fiber. When I went to install it, I discovered that the light hole was huge (on my OEM the light knob...

    Sudden odd electrical issue

    Does your neighbor own a Ford? Your ride might have caught a communicable disease. Can get awfully lonely after dark. . .

    Top end kit

    Budget? Cheap Vortec Heads are several hundred, and used will need to be gone through. Also, Vortec Heads require a different intake manifold, as the mating angle between the manifold and heads is way off compared to standard heads and intakes. You will need different valve covers as well and...

    I think it's time for a new carb..

    Buy Doppleganger's for $239 so he can do his TBI, and call it done! You're welcome!

    TBI " unswap " ?

    If "TBI just doesn't seem right" it begs the question, why did you buy it in the first place? I had two '74 Internationals (Fleetside and stepside), Pain In The Ass, Pickups. Sold them to people who just had to have period correct trucks. On the International Forum, owners seemed to brag about...

    Is it bad to scrap parts versus selling?

    $1,200 worth of sentimental? For someone who is "super dutch" - spending $1,200 on "sentimental" while fretting over an extra $200 for a ton of parts. . . After the $200 additional cost for all the parts, your are $1,000 ahead of sentimental. Selling off extra parts for $400, you recoup your...

    Hood Project Opinion

    Was the scoop just for looks or did the PO cut a hole in the hood?

    New gauges installed.

    This is what I did then found out I used the wrong bezel. . . headlight and wiper switch were all wrong. Ended up modifying my OEM which I didn't want to do but time was critical.

    Awful gas milage.

    No argument from me on Californicate issues. . . especially San Franfecal. Sam was overweight, smoked, didn't eat healthy and really knew his transmissions. I always wondered when it would catch up with him. Had a massive coronary in the restroom; slumped against the door. They had a hell of a...

    Awful gas milage.

    The shop that built my 700r4 was a racing shop and the owner advised to bypass the lock up. He died from a heart attack in the bathroom a few months ago. . . so I have been asking around for another source and was directed to a shop about 25 miles away. Had them work on my '98 Silverado. Owner...

    Awful gas milage.

    Been looking at the FiTech. They (or their people) are supposed to have a long history of making fuel systems for OEM. Seems every one of these aftermarket kits tell a good story and there is at least one person on youtube who swears by their choice. Guess it's nothing but a crap shoot anymore.

    Vinyl Wrapped Gauge Bezel

    Glad you asked. . . The truck has been painted Gloss Black. I am replacing the current door panels with some used deluxe OEM's. The panels will get primed with an epoxy primer to fill the grain. Then the panels are getting a Black/Silver Carbon Fiber, the old woodgrain panel is going Flat...

    Awful gas milage.

    Well, I see I am not the only person with this confusion. I have a '74 with a .030 over 350 high nickel content block, full rebuild, HEI, long tube headers, 650 Edlebrock on an Air Gap running 14°, 268H CAM, no AC, and a new 700r4 with corvette internals and no lock up. I cruise at 60/1800 rpm...
