    Finally getting to drive it 4/6 drop

    Sorry, just saw the replies. I have no rubbing issues at all. I'll have to take measurements and post them on fender height at the wheel well opening. I got the engine dialed in too. It always ran rougher than I thought it should. It wouldn't idle as good as it hoped, it spark knocked at WOT...

    Tubular LCA worth it or not?

    No worries. I still have it on the rack, waiting to do the rear flip kit. I may take it out and look into this. It's not going to get a ton of miles when done though.

    Tubular LCA worth it or not?

    Ok folks. I received a new lower control arm from LMC and installed it tonight. Seems like a decent piece. Came with bump stop, bushings and ball joint. I compared it side by side with the older one and the only difference I can tell is the shape of the stamping the bump stop rides on. The sway...

    Tubular LCA worth it or not?

    So, I hit the easy button. I'm going to order one from LMC and take one for the team here. They show LCA assembled for $149 each. I'll post results and thoughts on it once it arrives. The biggest thing is the ball joint. At that pricepoint I'm betting its a cheap one. I may still replace with a...

    Tubular LCA worth it or not?

    I Already have spindles and springs. I was hoping to do this reasonably cheap. I know the new lca have to use the updated sway bar so that's an additional cost. Any other additional costs I'm not seeing?

    Tubular LCA worth it or not?

    So I'm in the middle of replacing my spindles. 2.5" drop spindles and 2" drop springs. Flip kit in rear. Passenger side went on relatively easy. Drivers side looks like the lower ball joint is bad. I went ahead and removed the entire LCA with spindle attached since it won't release. I've tried...

    1986 TBI engine upgrade questions

    No high performance goals here but improved driveability and everyday power would be great. 300hp 350trq would be fine.

    1986 TBI engine upgrade questions

    So it's not a huge under taking? Those parts are pretty easy to find. Even better if a custom prom can be easily burned. Is there a difference between the ECMs though? I figured it was a prom issue, not necessarily the ECM. Any issues to worry about with a different ECM running the other...

    1986 TBI engine upgrade questions

    I have the opportunity to pick up an 86 G10 4wd long bed. It needs a couple things, nothing I can't handle after what I just went through on my 74 build. I want something suitable for daily driver use but would likely only be used for weekends hauling the boat or normal truck duties. The truck...

    1974 dash different?

    I think it had something to do with the 73-74 specific sizes around the bottom of the steering column or the wiper or headlight switch openings. I can't remember exactly what it was. I have a 74 and picked up one a couple years ago and remember it being specific to those years. Sorry that's not...
