    Another quadrajet or edelbrock?

    i got that new edelbrock avs2 and its not to bad! BUT before i read all the so-far responses i was gonna say stock is easier than modded, modded is like tattoos/lays tater chips, it’s a long expensive road and yes Carcaine is addictive, ruined my life.

    How can you tell if an off-idle stumble is caused by a lean or a rich condition? Carb

    i’m probably at least the third owner of my 84 jimmy and my off idle stumble was because my distributor was a tooth off. after getting it on the right tooth, problem was gone. good luck, hope you sort it out

    are front sways interchangeable?

    hey squares. i have a 84 gmc jimmy, and was wondering can i swap on a heavier/ stronger sway bar instead of my current one, or should i add an additional bar i.e. belltech. thanks all.

    Ball Joint Advice

    I dont really have preference on the ball joints, just had mine done with I think the AcDelco I could be wrong, my thing is with those is I try and grease em at least once a month, two months at the most. I daily drive my Jimmy and I kinda push it sometimes in the turns. If I were you I would do...

    new song called 700R4

    sorry, thought the last post didnt make it. and thanks again, my first return question would be what pressure readings are good/ whats not good? and to ‘87 the cable wasnt slop and i had driven the truck for 3 days before i notice any issue. it is much better now, i guess it’s just different...

    new song called 700R4

    hey guys i appreciate the inquiries but i’m a little superstitious. i didnt wanna get descriptive about the issue because i took it in today to get looked at, those guys adjusted the detent cable and its better now. BUT, i guess my complaint is that the trans just feels soft? weak? anemic? i...

    new song called 700R4

    the new (reman) trans has been fair but quirky. i had those guys install new upper and lower ball joints and that shmancy new avs2 carb thats supposed to have happy endings forever ( its not bad!) and now 4 days later the trans is actin out a bit. part my fault, i had to get it back end of day...

    Fuel pump help

    1987 GMCJimmy said a lot of good stuff. I have an edelbrock and those things like 6psi, my oem was putting out 7 to 9. if you put in a regulator set to 6 psi it may help. Good luck.

    Where can i find constant 12v power source

    kinda depends on how big your stereo is going to be i guess. if your just going back to sort-of stock then all previous suggestions are more than enough. if youre going to run subs and all, you may need a dedicated big line (4 gauge or so ) with a inline fuse, 30 amp maybe? tunes are almost as...

I always thought I was runnin kinda rich and dammit I was right! I am carb’d with a edelbrock 600 or 650, I asked for a 650 so I hope thats what it was, it’s...
