    Engine Stall and Transmission issue-85c10

    My 77 K5 also acts up when it's hot outside. It will run great for 20-30 minutes, then shuts down. After a few minutes it will refire. Took 3 restarts to get home from the store. The lunging and jerking also seem to be heat related but I don't think it has anything to do with the trans or...

    Hood ornaments

    My first square was a 77 Cheyenne 2-tone paint and hood stripes. It had the hood ornament. Since that hood is now on my 77 K5, so is the hood ornament.

    Hotter outdoors temps cause her to buck and cut out.

    I'm not injected; Edelbrock 1406. I've put pipe insulation on the fuel lines going into and out of the fuel pump. Also had a friend clean up the carb because it was so dirty and the right side idle screw was not making any adjustment, stuck float. I'm finally ready to reinstall the carb. Any...

    Hotter outdoors temps cause her to buck and cut out.

    Had just replaced the fuel filter when I took that pic. Has anyone tried any of the heat shield tapes or sleeves like Cool Tape or Fire Sleeve? If you have, please let me know how that worked. Also, where did you place the tape or sleeve? I think Design Engineering makes most of that stuff.

    Thanks for the welcome, Don. My first square body was a 1977 Cheyenne, a lot like yours only chocolate over cream. Bought her in '82 and the last of her is the trans in my Blazer. Appreciate the offer, Mike; I live west of Tucson but not that far west! Marcus, I did search and have been...

    Hi all. I'm a newbie here and this is my first post. I have a 1977 Blazer with a crate 350/350, 1406 carb, A/C and (headers). Last year I replaced the headers with replacement exhaust manifolds from Auto Parts Warehouse. Runs fine during the winter, early spring and late fall. Now that it's...
