    Gearing Help

    Thanks for the chart. That helps a lot. The link for the backing plate I believe is for a K20. Bigger plate than the K10 plate from what I can tell on different sites for that part number. Bill

    Gearing Help

    So, after losing a wheel this last Friday, I have been trying to find parts to repair the brake backing plate.

    Electric Power Issues

    So, I have just finished doing the LS swap on the 1984 K10, and I am finding that I have more electrical issues than I was aware of. I had hoped that I had repaired all of the previous owner issues of wire nuts and twist and tapes. At this point, nothing really works unless I turn on the...
