    Where to get quadrajet rebuilt?

    This is a very timely thread. I was just having a mechanic buddy look at my carb this weekend. He did a better job at tuning it that I did, but still recommended Quadrajet Power as well. He told me even though I rebuilt my carb, and it's running descent, I should still call him and give him my...

    Looking At Buying 1997 Cheyenne C1500 As Daily Driver Feedback Please

    To play devil's advocate here... just because it doesn't have a "Carfax" history, doesn't mean that the history is bad. I have NEVER had any service done at a stealership on any of my vehicles (several purchased new) unless it was for warranty repair. I do however had a computer spreadsheet...

    Blower fan/relay

    The purple wire hooks directly into the blower motor. On my truck ('82) it is the only plug that is on the actual blower motor. The ground, is just wire from the blower motor housing / frame to the firewall.

    New clapped out ‘87 350

    I think for $500, you're going to get away with a stock rebuild and some recommended machine work, that's it. I spent almost $2k on a "budget" 305 for my truck. Not high hp numbers. Just a mild cam, flat top pistons, a slight (.008) head decking job, and quality head work with a valve job. That...

    Show your sick toy !!!

    Here are a couple of mine. Had to edit... the last picture, the center camper trailer isn't mine. It's my Mom's, and I just store it for her because I have the room.

    Mudflaps-not the woman type.

    Thank you! First time I've ever had a boat (my 3rd overall) that has more hp than the tow rig. It has the 380hp Volvo Penta 6.0 in it. Cruises at 50 mph pretty easily!

    Mudflaps-not the woman type.

    Hey... what's soo bad about the single big mud/rock flap. :) I have BOTH style on my truck. The big "unibrow" does wonders for keeping rock chips off my boat.

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    Sounds pretty cool. Any pictures?

    Loud Knock After Replacing Intake Manifold

    The video of it cranking over just isn't fast enough to produce that same noise it sounds like. I don't know, but I'm leaning more towards pushrod / rocker arm chatter from your fist video. What doesn't make sense though is if you only replaced the intake, you wouldn't have messed with the...

    Fixing vapor lock now that I barely made it home, experience with 3 port filters?

    I don't know that you have a fuel issue. Especially with the behavior you're getting from the truck, in January, in Oregon. I'm leaning towards Ignition Control Module... (maybe because I just dealt with that being my issue). My issues started out very similar, and I'm wondering if when you...

    Show your daily driver

    I have always loved that latest model GTO. A guy might see one a year here in my neck of the woods.

    Goodyear Military sand Performance?

    No experience with that tire on sand, but just about any tire on sand likes to be under-inflated. If you have a way to air down when hitting the sand, then airing back up for the street, do it. I don't know how heavy the sidewalls are on those Wranglers, but I'd imagine they're pretty good...

    Bought a boat

    Not sure how I missed this thread before now, but looks like you did a good job on the rebuild. We loved our toon when we had it. I wanted something more, and the wife didn't want anything, the pontoon was the compromise. Since then (14 years later) we're on our 3rd boat, and one I don't want to...

    New LED headlights, black or clear housings?

    I think the black might be too much, especially if you have the chrome front bumper. Go with the clear lenses/housings if you're going with chrome in the front end.
