    vent window tip

    For the past 3 day's off and on I have been trying to install new weatherstripping on my 1976 suburban vent window without much luck. The curved portion would not snap in. I let it sit in the sun sprayed it down with windex and still no luck so I took a couple spring clamps and when I clamped...

    Just an FYI

    I just want to give a quick review on a new at least to me product. I saw a commercial last month for a rusted nut and bolt catalyst (I think that's the right word ). It's called Superzilla the green wonder product. When I saw "green product" I had my doubts but for the sale price and all the...

    Does this sound like it had work done

    I'm less than a 1000 feet above sea level. I also forgot to mention there is no knocking, no burning oil, and the only thing that leaks onto the driveway is power steering fluid which I'm going to fix when the rain ever stops.

    Does this sound like it had work done

    Thank You for responding. I don't see any shiny parts but other than the dipstick there are 2 broken exhaust manifold bolts, and there were a couple of ground wires that were not connected. My oil pressure while I'm driving is a steady 60 psi, but that is according to my stock dash gauge. I love...

    Does this sound like it had work done

    Hi Guy's. I have been reading through all the different post's and was especially interested in the thread about testing with a vacuum gauge so I gave it a shot. I connected the vacuum gauge to the manifold fitting that the line for the trans goes to and at idle it was a very steady 18. I didn't...

    looking for 17 inch wheels

    Well the good news is that I found some wheels. The bad news is that I was on my way to get them and I had a blowout on the expressway. The left rear blew and bent my exhaust pipe, and damaged my perfect quarter panel. I had to call my neighbor since I forgot my jack he showed up got the spare...

    looking for 17 inch wheels

    I've got to look a lot harder since the wheels I have seen so far are out of my price range. I'm living off SSI disability and with another surgery coming up I have to consider my co pay. I'm sure something will come up . Thank You so much guys for all your help.

    looking for 17 inch wheels

    Hey all. I have an opportunity to get 5 nearly new tires for free but the problem is they are 17's and I have the stock 16.5 wheels on my 1976 k20 suburban. I can't find the wheels partly because I'm not sure what year GM wheels will fit on my 76. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You

    Q-Jet is rebuilt, but has a bit of seeping/leak on top of carb..??

    I think the 3/16 is how far from the edge of the float bowl you take your measurement not the actual float measurement. The float measurement should be closer to but definately less than a 1/2 inch.

    fixed warped carburetor causing high idle

    I was starting to think about getting a new carburetor since I couldn't figure out the high idle issue I was having. After rebuilding my carb I couldn't get it to idle properly and after double and triple checking everything I checked and found the air horn and the middle section were warped and...

    quadrajet very high idle

    I was guessing and kinda hoping that it is a vacuum leak until I remembered just for kicks putting a straight edge across the throttle body (middle section ?) and it was definately not flat but I heard that this is common and after watching a lot of videos on youtube of guys rebuilding...
