    No start, no lights…

    Hey everyone, I have a 79 c10, SBC 350. Been noticing a slow sluggish start when hot. Yesterday the truck wouldn’t do anything. Turned the key and nothing. The cab light starts off really dim when I get in the truck and gets brighter the longer I leave the door open. If I hit the key to crank...

    Help with wiring!

    Guys, in my attempt to clean up the rats nest under my hood near my fuse box, I try to remove any unnecessary wires. Now my truck won't turn off with the lights on? What in the world could cause that?

    New cluster/gauge install…Nothing works!!!

    Just to update my situation, the gauges all worked except the voltmeter. I think it may have fried it on hookup. I had a blown/melted fuse. Once I changed the fuse I put another voltmeter in, but wired it directly to ground/12v ignition and bypassed the printed circuit. Now all my gauges are...

    New cluster/gauge install…Nothing works!!!

    Guys, I have a 79 c10 with a 5.7 350. I bought the truck from a guy who stripped it down and basically didn’t have anything stock on it gauge wise. My goal has been to return the cluster/gauges/bezel back to the stock year. I bought all the gauges from LMC with the tach as an option. The...

    Overheating at idle ... 1979 c10

    Here is my current setup: Thanks for the replies so far. I will definitely check these items. Currently these fans run all the time. I haven’t put the fan thermostats on yet. Once I realized I had too little air flow from these fans, I figured it wouldn’t hurt it to run all the time. I’m...

    Overheating at idle ... 1979 c10

    Hey guys, I’ve got a 1979 c10 with a 350, 1406 edlebrock carburetor. Truck has been running fine. Had the radiator flushed, water pump is good, coolant is full, new thermostat placed in it last week, and I just installed 2 new electric fans. Both are blowing towards the engine. The truck...

    Won’t rev past 2000 rpms

    They were both set at zero before. Not sure what that means. Haven’t read enough on it. I definitely haven’t moved them previously.

    Won’t rev past 2000 rpms

    I got the MSD 6425 6al with a rev limiter. I’ve had it for a couple months and have been able to reach 4000+ rpms. Recently it’s started keeping me under 2000. Could the box be malfunctioning? I do not believe this model is programmable.

    Won’t rev past 2000 rpms

    Okay so there may be something to this line of thinking. The truck had a MSD Ignition and blaster 2 coil. I replaced both bu the coil needed a different boot other than the standard 90 degree type. So I bought a kit and made my own. I’ve always wondered if that may be failing? I recently ordered...

    It idles great. Even in reverse or drive while stopped. It has a fuel filter near the carburetor. It was installed 3 weeks ago.it’s the clear kind. Seems unobstructed. Maybe a bad fuel filter?

    Hey guys, First post here. Just bought a 1979 C10 Cheyenne trim. It is an automatic 5.7 350 with a 1406 Edelbrock carburetor. I just put a 1 inch phenolic spacer on it. Recently I had the local shop to do a complete tune up. New plugs, wires, installed new carburetor, oil change, brakes...
