    Having problems with blinker

    The answer posted by SirRobyn0, above, has a logical answer that fits the symptoms -- the transistor circuit in the side marker LED package has likely failed. It was working for 5 years without the add-ons. Replace the side marker 194LED before spending money and time on flashers and resistors...

    SOLVED:Truck boggs down when accelerating

    Did you determine why the fuel filter was plugged? Have you checked the fuel tank(s)? Very fine rust particles will plug a filter in just a few miles.

    Instrument Cluster and Parking lights

    Part number 12015024 is the Weather Pack number for one side of the connector, using male pins # 12089040. The mating side of the connector is 12089040 with female pins # 12124580. But you will probably need new weather seals too. If so just get a $5.69 kit from allelectronics.com that has...

    Heads-intake help

    I've never owned a 305 so I did about two hours worth of reading about it since I saw your post. The 14010203 casting number puts your engine somewhere near 9.5:1 CR and about 150 (GM) HP stock. From what I have read, you can make a respectable street engine out it. Just Google "chevy 305...

    Heads-intake help

    Did anyone else notice the 5.0 (305) block ID? This thread started off asking about a 350, didn't it? Make sure of what you have before going forward.

    Roar in cab after dual exhaust installation.

    Howdy, Inspect the entire length of the exhaust for solidly mounted hangers. You are looking for two things; any direct metal to metal contact between the frame and the cab sheet metal, and any hanger welded solidly between the frame and exhaust. If the installer eliminated the rubber isolaters...

    Brake fluid from master cylinder lid

    The cap/bail/bellows/gasket depends on low pressure on both sides of the gasket to maintain a seal. If pressure builds inside the reservoir, the gasket will not hold back fluid. Excessive back pressure is caused by air in the system or a defective seal at the working end of the MC piston. The...

    Dash was cut for DIN radio

    Build it for you. Let the next owner bemoan the cut up dash. If he wants it original it will be his to do. Since your dash is wide open, why not move the AC duct to the original radio position and your new radio to where the duct was? That solves the visibility problem.

    Dim gauge lights

    I am an old fart. I rode in these trucks when they were new. I can promise you that an as-designed gauge package is readable day or night -- when new. Forty years is a long time for UV, dirt, and corrosion to work evil magic. If you cannot see your gauges odds are good that the only thing...

    Is the "body shop" tryna rob me

    OP, You have a lot on your plate starting a new family, maintaining a home, a full time job, college and whatever other obligations you might have. I think the estimate you got is totally in line. But, I would think that a full restoration with modifications is something you cannot afford even...

    Newb wiring question

    I can't see where the added blue wire goes when it leaves the picture. I am going to guess that is going to the windshield washer pump. But I am more concerned about the bulkhead terminal block than I am about the washer/wiper splices. Look at the right side of the connector. You have some major...

    Why does my steering wheel weep and what can be done about it? There were and are many different chemical compounds used by various companies through the years to form steering wheels. This article discusses only the black hard plastic steering wheels. Soft or firm grip plastic used in newer...

    Replacement seat upholstery

    That pattern is tweed. Gray, white, black tweed. I don't recall seeing tweed as factory upholstery on any truck. I am not an expert on upholstery but I think odds are good that the seat was recovered. It looks nice though. If you want it to stay the same, tell the upholstery shop to match it as...
