    73 grille color

    I want to repaint my 73 grille. Is it all 1 shade of color or does it have darker ir lighter accents. I can't find a pic good enough to determine myself.

    steering column or shaft

    Can anyone hook me up with a steering column that has the double D end for the steering shaft (2 flat spots and center bolt) ...tilt or non-tilt...no headlight dimmer...and no wiper switch. Or a steering shaft with the splined end and rag joint end. My steering column and shaft were replaced...

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    So I switched #2 and #8 wires with each other and all header tubes were over 350 degrees and it ran really smooth until I took it for a ride. I think the ride possibly jostled a bad wire?? I think I'll replace plug wires

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    All new. Maybe I will swap wires and see if the condition follows the wires.

    I don't think so but will double check today.

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    Low miles crate motor. I was told about 25000 miles. All I did was replace all gaskets.

    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    What could be a cause of numbers 2 and 8 header pipes not getting hot. All other cylinders are getting over 300 degrees. 2 and 8 are only making it to around 114 degrees. Compression in all cylinders is 135-145 psi. When I put the timing light clip on the spark plug wires it flashes so I assume...

    Timing issues

    I didn't see that but went back and read it. That is goofy.

    Timing issues

    advance weights were stuck, I had to turn the rotor with a good amount of force to get the weights to move. Now they move but do not return on there own. This distributor has good reviews but it it says it will not fit my 79 c10 with a 350....why wouldn't it? Amazon.com: Performance Hei...

    Timing issues

    I have a gm crate motor in my 79 c10. When I set the timing and it runs nice and smooth it cranks over really slow and don't start, I figure too advanced (if I remember, at this setting it is at about 2 dbtdc). So I set it at 12 dbtdc and it turns over and starts easy but runs rough like the...

    no power to anything in cab

    I only have one question...does the bracket at the middle of the harness normally mount to the upper passenger trans to engine bolt?

    no power to anything in cab

    Got the new harness and installed it. Now everything seems to be operating like it should. I should have just replaced it a lot of headaches ago. Old versus new...

    no power to anything in cab

    I'm done, time for a new harness! Question...I have a nice interior harness out of a 78 and it has glass fuses. Any reason I shouldn't "go back" to glass fuses and order a 78 engine wiring harness?

    no power to anything in cab

    Am I correct in thinking the wires at the junction block should always be hot? I'm doing more wire tracing

    no power to anything in cab

    interesting. Another interesting thing is the wire that goes to the "s" terminal on the solenoid is also the power wire for my wipers! Lol.
