    Front End Alignment???

    hey thanks a lot man. I now understand the caster measurement and what the numbers are. when I looked at the specs at work it did not specify what to measure so I was clueless lol. now is the decision of changing all control arm bushings to polyurethane as well as all leaf shackle bushings and...

    Front End Alignment???

    I'm trying to make sense of caster chart because there are 11 different measurements from 2 1/2" to 5" called "dimension A". what is this dimension referring to? looks like it is pointing to the coil spring lol

    Front End Alignment???

    what manual is that? Haynes or chiltons? I will check some of the options for the c10 short wheelbase to see if all toe caster, camber, sai, and thrust angle are the same. if so I guess it wont matter then. btw thanks for the pics of specs, wish I had seen the a while ago lol

    I need a steering column for a 1986 classic sierra

    might be able to help ya out. I will check and see what I have later or tomorrow. I believe 1984 through 1987 for trucks is a bolt in swap. earlier models from 1978 or 1979 whenever the intermediate shaft went from splined to 2 flats will work but do not have the multifunction switch for wipers...

    stock wheels?

    anyone know which wheel will accept the (dog dish) style hubcaps from 70s-80s era? the kind with the bowtie in the middle that kinda looks like a 5 spoke rim I guess lol. I have a set of 4 on a c20 but I want to put them on my c10. my c10 has the wheel where it will accept the center caps and...

    Edelbrock 1405

    its not pouring out like a diesel exhaust haha, but from both sides its pretty noticeable. when I had the valve covers off adjusting the valves it wasn't all the way warm but I couldn't tell at all

    Edelbrock 1405

    it seems to smooth out at higher rpm before vacuum drops. pretty sure head gasket is not the cause no coolant burning or oil at all and have compression. maybe its the valve guides since I never had ones installed when I had valves dressed on the stock 1997 vortec heads lol. I did adjust valves...

    Edelbrock 1405

    when I adjusted the valves I also cleaned plug wires checked cap and plugs and since the plugs were out i did a compression test just to check being its a fresh rebuild with roughly 10-20k on it and everything looked fine. cant remember #'s but all were relatively same. what if I go 1/4 turn on...

    Edelbrock 1405

    man that ethanol is pretty shitty huh. where can I get the neoprene hoses? I'm about to change 3 old rubber ones from near the tank before I have a leak. anyway I did just pull the valve covers about a week ago and snugged up and checked all valves because I had one on passenger side that I...

    Edelbrock 1405

    have another question sort of unrelated but I didn't want to start a new thread. so I trucks passenger side exhaust (true duals btw) always sounds strange like its farting lol and when I put my hand over it theres a lot of smacking. drivers side is usually better/normal. sometimes I'm able to...

    Edelbrock 1405

    I am using the edelbrock spacer already which is like 1/4" thick give or take. 87 octane with 10% corn juice right now is about 2.50 a gallon and 87 regular non ethanol is over 3.00 and I don't think it makes a difference. I know someone with a 351w ford which is equipped with a 4150 holley and...

    TV and throttle cable bracket question

    Anyone know of a bracket for a 700r4 trans that will mount to an edelbrock 7116 performer rpm intake manifold? the edelbrock adjustable bracket I bought if for the gen 1 style 12 bolt intakes and since I have the vortec style the angle and amount of bolts are different, current setup is 1405...

    Edelbrock 1405

    d it never diesels or tries to keep running. I will check to see if it leaking. I have the edelbrock gasket that it thick to prevent that I believe lol. fuel pump is relatively new ac delco. and filter is inline that edelbrock sent. which if I remember correctly I have seen the fuel hold in...

    Edelbrock 1405

    it starts fine if I shut it off after 5 or 10 minutes, its when it sits for maybe 15-20 minutes or even hour and its not cold its like I need to keep pumping it to start.. timing is not an issue otherwise it would start hard after I shut it off and restart it right away.

    Edelbrock 1405

    who has experience with these carbs? I'm having trouble setting my choke and/or fast idle cam with the electric choke kit I bought for it(came with manual choke). I am also curious as to why it will start fine with 1 pump cold, and will fire right up after just shut off, but if still warm it...

    FORD RAKE ?

    LOL nice.. maybe I will just replace the shackle bushings and look for a used set of leafs with more springs to stiffen things up. I'm thinking about going with coilover shocks on the rear since I'm in need of them anyway, but that's the deal with the different sized lengths? will any set work?
