    I need a donut

    You've got a good parts store for sure.

    Best Flowmaster

    Oh yeah, and @Rusty Nail had a good point. My crew cab has headers, H-pipe, Flowmaster 40's and full length tailpipes. There is absolutely zero drone.

    Best Flowmaster

    I can appreciate a variety of sounds, as long as it's a V8 making the music. I've got a lot of cars and trucks, I try not to do repeats on mufflers so they all have their own sound. But one of my favorites is the cheapest. My '73 wagon has a 2bbl 350, headers, 2.5" pipes and a pair of glass...

    I need a donut

    Unfortunately, I only know of one parts store that still has books on hand. It's several hundred miles from home. I've got a Napa Body Hardware book from 2013 that I have to take with me to the local store when I need to restock.

    I need a donut

    I'd a tried the local Napa (still a great mom/pop type store) but it was late on a weekend so they weren't open.

    Old77’s Oldest Kid’s 1992 S10 Blazer thread

    Just tell them that the info is from the "GM Jay, Facts and Figures" book, lol.

    I need a donut

    I rarely mess with manifolds anymore, but in the past, my local parts store back then never wanted me to have them look it up by application. They just had me go in the back and pick the donuts I wanted. These days, the stores don't stock sh!t for donut gaskets. I recently needed donut gaskets...

    Best Flowmaster

    It's funny how personal taste can differ with exhaust sounds. I'll take the drone of a 40 series Flowmaster over the ho-hum sound of a Magnaflow any day, lol. But there's also some really good options out there that are either the best of both worlds, or a mix of the two sounds. There's way...

    Stuck Hood

    There's not supposed to be a cable. You just move the latch mechanism. Does the handle not move? Try pushing downward on the hood while you try to release the mechanism. It might be adjusted too tight.

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Probably original. It's the lighter duty tie rod that you have, but I haven't messed with them much. I'm used to the heavier duty tie rods. GM had two styles in use at the same time.

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Looks like you have the smaller tie rod that maybe doesn't have a tapered hole? I dunno, the larger tie rod definitely uses the new stud like in your pictures.

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    I took care of it. You didn't do anything wrong, it's just the modern era of message forums I guess. The big electronic brain sometimes thinks a photo might contain things of the no-no variety and it just needs to be approved by a moderator before it will show up.

    Trailering your square body

    Imho, just load them backwards and don't worry about it. Just get the trucks strapped down well so they are stable and you'll be fine.

    GMC Savana, Plus a Chevy Express Now Too

    I don't like that it's painted white, but I absolutely love this van. I've pulled several loads with it now, in the 9-11k range and it handles it so well. The van is just so dang useful and the mpg isn't horrid either. And it's comfortable too. I think I've nearly put 11k miles on it now. I...

    1992 Camaro RS

    I drove it to work today, about 70 miles of backroads, round trip. It's starting to run better. It drives and handles fantastic.
