Aw man, I hate I missed ya! I actually wasn't working this weekend, was just there for fun but did stop by the tent a few times. That was my first time at RTTS, I think we'll be back. That was a good one
I try to go each year. Won $100 a few years back.

I spent yesterday indirectly working on my Blazer, I replaced the deck on my trailer so I could haul it to a square meet next Saturday.
What!!! You build a trailer queen?

Put the seats that I got from the salvage yard in the Extracab also put the steering column in today. Still need to mount the center console, and weld the front inside mounts.

New gaskets and TBI hardware finally came in a the TBI was rebuilt, solid this time around with no leaks. The injectors were spraying very healthily. The truck revvved up great in the driveway. On the test run it started out with some sputtering and hopes were that it would work out. About 1/4 mile away from the house all power gone, truck died. During an attempt to jump, the fuel pump made no noise at all when ignition was put in on position. Watched it get loaded up, and followed it to the garage. Hopefully what it really needs to run healthy again is in the near future.

You should add the relay kit to add years to the life of those motors
Yes for sure but man, even with 2 stuck rollers and an antique regulator, just cleaning and lubing the regulator and roller tracks, it rolls up n down as fast as every new car in the driveway, with the engine running of course. That voltage drop is noticeable when just pulling off the battery.

Beautiful. Is that your T type or SS or both?

Went to look at a 350/th350 combo for the 84 yesterday. I'll have it taken to my mechanic Friday for him to put in. Get rid of the 305. He's having it pulled the next two days so I can get it Friday. Said the motor was rebuilt 5k miles ago. Fires up nice and easy. The 305 has been acting up running bad intermittently so this should be a nice upgrade for it.

I'll have him pull all the stuff off it I want to save and just get rid of the motor and keep the th350 in case I need it later.

I'm guessing the seller "lost" the receipt for the engine rebuild?

It’s back at his mom’s house.

Just kidding enough of the Vice Grip Garage quotes, @82sbshortbed- nice find. Given that you drive big blocks, I’m surprised you tolerated a 305 as long as you did.

Yessir! I don't have to trailer it but between the cost of Boggers, yelling because of the wind noise, sunburn on my head and getting blown away by everyone on the interstate I'd rather pull it in my comfy quiet Megacab. :Big Laugh:
