    84 Bench Seat Frame

    Just out of curiosity did you get your seat fixed. I saw the plywood thing and wondered if you tried that?

    Going back to original OP gauge

    Rusty, Nick, GTX Can’t thank y’all enough. Looking and looking for that tan wire. I saw it going to the sender in the diagram for the gauge only trucks. I found it but it was like hooked to something. Couldn’t see the end it was connected to. So I got the fat boy board out so I could lay across...

    Going back to original OP gauge

    Ok. Alittle more history on my truck. I am the 3rd owner. Bone stock when I got her 28 years ago. 305 was replaced by a 350 crate motor. This picture is of what is on the back of the block. I am guessing it was placed there by the shop that put the crate motor in for me. It is a brass Y...

    Going back to original OP gauge

    Ok just thought of something. I think I am getting the 2 confused. The one that is still in the harness off that tee, is that the actual pressure sender and the one that I am replacing is the sensor? All sensors I have seen has 2 plugs on top that the original pig tail in the picture would plug...

    Going back to original OP gauge

    Ok I have a green wire that always went to the choke. 12 volt when key is on. Ok I’ll study more of what you said. By no means am I an electrical guy. So it takes a few to understand. I thought that that sense that Stuart Warner sender was not in line with the harness was the reason the choke...

    Going back to original OP gauge

    Hey guys. Not going into why I did this many years ago. But did any way I replaced the stock OP sending g unit with a Stuart Warner and gauge set up. Now I want to go back to original. Pictures are of what I found as an oil pressure sending unit for my 1985 gmc c15. 305 motor. Also a plug that...

    What a mess Edelbrock cleaning

    Thanks Chuck but I was out here this morning and it found my magnet LOL. Below where I am sitting. Here is what I used to put them in this morning after the fine nose needle nose that squirted them out. Get them at medical supply places. The carb is now back in piece. I’ll check it out once...

    What a mess Edelbrock cleaning

    Yep looks like the horse shoe one. But last night I had to take the bar out again. Lost another one. So I said time to stop I was tired. So last ditch effort on my knees with a magnet going side to side for a few minutes. And looked at the magnet. Both were on it. I thanks God. Put the magnet...

    What a mess Edelbrock cleaning

    If you don’t have one get one. Put it back together. I do hope I don’t have any left over parts. I just pretend I didn’t see that. LOL

    What a mess Edelbrock cleaning

    My first time to clean a carb. Used my new sonic cleaner. So far so good. But. First thing that happened was I was taking that tiny little clip that holds on the linkage to the accelerator pump off. Well well well. It went flying. LOL. Ran a big magnet over my garage. I found every nail I...

    New here from Mississippi

    Thanks Randy. Congratulations on surviving being a LEO. I had been in the business since 1982 and actually still in it a couple days a week as security at a local college. I have neglected my 85 sierra for about 3 years. I have had it for about 30 years and it is time to bring her back. This...
