    Not sure what's happening here

    Thanks guys. Got the new Eddy 2101 on last Thursday. Managed to mess up the distributor timing 180 degrees out. Rather than lose it in the alley behind my place, I just paid the local shop to fix that & change the oil. Just took a quick 3 mile tow. Now on to fixing the brake booster, weather...

    Not sure what's happening here

    So I popped off the intake for the first time this evening and don't know what to think. Is this normal (pics below)? I'm replacing the intake with an eddy 2101 so I'm not really concerned about the old intake. I'm much more concerned that this is a sign other stuff is wrong; it seems like an...

    73 K10 w/350 has some weekend issues

    It's one of those SP2P intakes. I have to install a new thermostat so there's a good reason to drop in the new intake.

    73 K10 w/350 has some weekend issues

    Ok, ok...where to start... So I finally got under the hood of my new 73 K10 after a week of listening to some weird whistling/squealing that only happens when coasting or at low rpm. I also noticed a vacuum noise from somewhere in the back right of the engine bay. I'm new to this, so the more...

    Whistling Noise while coasting

    Haven't got a chance to take a good look at it yet...but the sound seems like it's coming from the right side of the engine bay between the air cleaner and master brake cylinder. Any other possibilities or things I should check when I get into it this evening?

    Whistling Noise while coasting

    Two questions on my 73 K10 350... 1) After accelerating, if I take my foot off the pedal, I start to hear a whistling noise. If I slightly apply pressure to the gas pedal, the noise fades a little. If I depress the gas pedal more than 25%, the whistling noise completely disappears. The...

    73 K10 needs advice

    Thanks man. I'll take a look at the RPO when I get it back from the shop this weekend (if the RPO sheet is still there). Regarding the alarm...you definitely got me thinking. What's the best bet on this? The fact that it doesn't even have a hood release & anyone could walk up and pop the...

    73 K10 needs advice

    Thinking it might be worth giving it a couple inch lift. Sits lower than my old '09 1500. Rough Country? Sky jacker? Not trying to go for broke on it yet...just want to be ready to pull the trigger when the time comes. Gotta mentally spend that Christmas bonus a few months in advance haha

    73 K10 needs advice

    Definitely need the new intake. Saw the recommendation for the edelbrock 2101. Thoughts? What carb & distributor? (without breaking the bank) The interior is pretty crappy - the one pic doesn't do it justice. Cracked dash, armrests, no radio. So I got a bit to do there.

    73 K10 needs advice

    Just got this 73 K10 custom deluxe off ebay from my boss as a work bonus. Pretty sweet. I had it delivered right to our family mechanic of 20 years to go through it & give me a real breakdown of what it needs done to be a reliable daily driver. I haven't really seen it yet aside from a drive...
