    Fuel Pickup

    Doing a frame off on my '89 square body. Swapping a carb'd 454 for the 350 tbi. Tanks and pumps are junk so along with everything else they are being replaced. My question is since the tbi needed the return line hence the 3 port pickup, can I switch to the 2 port since I don't need the return...

    Wiring question

Ran a hot wire to the correct wiper motor and to a toggle switch. At some point switch fell off so wires where just pinched together if it was raining. Was...

    Wiring question

    Wiring question

    I agree with this statement. Not sure what the previous owners specialty was but it was not wiring of any sort. I can do the wiring, slowly, but it would be done right. Problem is I'm not sure I want too. Luckily this year came with the carb swap we are doing so I know it shouldn't be too bad. I...

    Wiring question

    Besides rewiring tge main power for the windows, a mechanic had to do some rewiring when it shut off and there was zero power...no one could find out why so he ran a jumper basically from the batt. Not sure either way will be enjoyable. Just fishing for advise.

    Would like close to stock springs. SD SPRINGS has them as well as the over load. Just not sure how stock they are as they have different load ranges available. Both my leafs have multiple broken leafs in the pack as well as deformed over load. Any names of places would be great.
