83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]
Thank you for offering the help, I ended up capping some of the areas off and just routing it all the best I could with what was still left on the truck. Did I do it all technically correct, probably not but this truck ran for years leaking oil sometimes running it when it was bone dry, random...- Bo69

I agree 100% which is why I planned to take it to a professional rather than attempt it myself.- Bo69

83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]
Thank you for the reply, I think I’m going to ls swap it eventually anyways because this motor has no power and I have no desire to keep it all original. Sure I could rebuild and beef it up but I still think ls swap is the cheapest easiest bet for what I’m going for..- Bo69

83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]
Yes I’m 100% missing the distributor delay, at the time I posted the picture I wasn’t sure what the delay looked like but now I do. It’s one of those little ones like you said with 4 ports but when I google I only see ones with 2 ports for some reason. I watched a video that explained almost...- Bo69

83 C10 Headlight Issues [HELP]
Thank you both, I should have read the instructions lol and now I will (if I can find them). I just assumed the light bulb was burnt out and that the problem would be solved by the new headlights but that is what I get for assuming!- Bo69

Intro
I’m a 25 y/o DIYer who’s trying to learn as I go. I inherited a 1983 C10 from my grandpa who passed away last year and have been slowly giving it some love to make it into a daily driver/reliable work truck again. I plan to stick around this forum to gain knowledge and maybe start a thread to...- Bo69

83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]
Thank you both, I’ve got it nearly figured out now. The only thing I’m not finding on the diagram is this; what is this thing on the side of the carb? Is it a choke? What hose should route to it if any? Should I keep it plugged or just leave it unplugged with no hose on it?- Bo69

83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]
Thanks for the info, I’m not finding a decel valve as the system never had a T after the pcv valve it just went straight to the carb.. I was also having trouble finding the tvs stuff, decel valve, trans conv, continuing following the hose diagram; I also don’t see a distributor delay, efe...- Bo69

83 C10 Headlight Issues [HELP]
Installed aftermarket headlights and now only bottom two come on see picture, previously all except for bottom passenger side came on which I had assumed it was just burnt out but now suspect possible wire issues. What do you guys think is my issue? Also how do the brights/low beams work on...- Bo69

83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]
I inherited this truck with the vaccum hoses all over the place, some off, some seemed to have disappeared, maybe some stuff has been deleted? I did my best to try to figure out where the remaining hoses went and capped off the rest of the ports. How did I do? Can some of this stuff just be...- Bo69
