    Engine issues.

    So today I went ahead and rebuilt my carb. It was pretty dirty so it needed it regardless. Now after I put it on and started it it acted the same way. I hooked up a vacuum gauge and it read a round 15. Just for giggles I moved the dizzy around to see if adjusting timing would help and it made no...

    Engine issues.

    That's the first thing I tried lol. I tried rock on the trail then hammer when I got back to the camp site. Does the fuel pressure dropping when revving sound normal to you? Can't seem to find a answer.

    Engine issues.

    Need a little help here on where to start. I have a 76 k10 with a 350, it has a edelbrock 600 on it. So last weekend I went to a offroad park and climbed some decent hills. After climbing the first one, I noticed that it was idling around 400 and shaking real bad so I figured the float bowls...

    Temp gauge issues.

    My old gauge read 220ish so I thought it might be messed up because it read 200-210 with a 180 t stat and 220 with a 195. I had it in my truck before and it read 210 with a 180 t stat. I don't think its overheating, the radiator cap hasn't sprayed coolant out and the hoses are hot but you can...

    Temp gauge issues.

    I have a 1976 K10, when I got the truck the temp gauge only went up to the 1/4 mark so I put in a mechanical temp gauge. The waterpump failed so I put a newer radiator, waterpump t-stat and hoses. The t-stat I pulled out was a 180, so I put in a 195 to get my heat working again. I figured that...

    ORD shackle flip

    I'm thinking about buying a ORD 2.5'' shacks flip for the rear on my 1976 K10. I'm putting a 14 Bolt FF with the 3/4 ton springs. My question is will I need to get new shocks? If so what should I get? As of right now I have adjustable air shocks to put in with it but not sure on the travel they...

    Bad vibration when coming to a complete stop

    Im pretty sure its not the brakes because it did it before i replaced them. Its a 10 bolt in the front if that helps and and the hubs are unlocked on it, it stops when i let off the brakes.

My problem is when i come to a complete stop (under 10 mph) there is a vibration that feels like its coming frim the passenger front wheel. It did this before i replaced the brakes. Any clue what it might be? Wheel...

    Lug stud size

    Im going to machine the center out to fit over the hubs. The thing im worried about is that the lug stud difference. The lug nuts i have sink far into the rim. Cant seem to find any that might work better

    Lug stud size

    Alright, recently i came across a set of 5 rims and tires for $80. There off a late 90s k2500 and they where bolted to a M14 -1.5 thread lug stud or somthing simular to that. My question in my k10 has 7/16-20 lug studs and my lug nuts are to small. I guess what im asking is there a lug nut out...

    Master cylinder question

    After looking at the MC itself it has a JB6 on it but part stores around me dont even list that for my truck, which i no you cant always go by that. I just want to make sure that it wont cause any harm to the rest of the braking system if i had put a JB 6 on and it might have been a JB 5 or...

    Master cylinder question

    Question is will a master cylinder off a 76 c20 454 fit a 76 k10 with a 350. They look simular but not the same.

    BBC build

    Alright, it's time to plan my big block build. It's a stock 454 out of my 76 c20. My goals are to build it to make 400-500 hp. I'm not sure of right now of I am going to bore it over yet, as I don't no how the cylinder walls look. I would like to keep the stock bottom end if all possible. Could...

    454 rebuild cost.

    I'm going to disassemble myself and I'm wanting to assemble but don't have tools to check bearing clearances. I'll prob have them install cam bearings just because I heard that can be a pain. This will be my first build so I'm going to take it slow.

    454 rebuild cost.

    I'm about to tear down the big block for my 76 c20 and see where the knock I am having is coming from. How much does it cost to have a stock rebuild done. I realize that it's different everywhere and depends on how much machining has to be done. Just trying to get a idea. Thanks in advance.

    Can't decide what to do.

    Alright, so my nightmares have come true and my 454 has a knocking/rattling noise that sounds like it's coming from the front of the block. I've been told rod knock, timing chain slapping on the cover or bent push rod. The problem is idk if I can afford to rebuild the motor in it or if it really...

    Need help I'm lost!

    I don't have the choke pulloff hooked up because of the manual kit on it but I open it a lil when I first start it and it will run for about 10 sec an start to spit and sputter. If I open the choke slowly till I hit about 3/4 of the way open it will smooth out. I haved prob with the carb leaking...

    Need help I'm lost!

    I rebuilt it myself, put new gaskets and float in it and cleaned it but it ran fine after I rebuilt it. I'll try what you said, it's running rich because it will backfire sometimes upon startup. And when the choke is engaged it will spit black smoke
