Hard accelerator pedal
NP! It seems that perhaps that is just how the Edelbrock carbs are, stiff. I should just be happy that the truck runs and shifts well and stop looking for nit picky issues.- Juan Cano

Hard accelerator pedal
Update: I replaced the vacuum cap, not with tape but a proper cap. I removed the throttle cable from the linkage and the cable moves easily, so is not the cable housing. I will read more on the springs, although it is hard to move the linkage with the spring disconnected, so I don't think the...- Juan Cano

Hard accelerator pedal
Update: Fixed the vacuum plug. Also unhooked the accelerator cable from the carb, and it moves freely. It's more like the lever as it pivots is hard.

Hard accelerator pedal
Wow, thank you so much for so many ideas to test. I will work on them this week. And yes, the pedal has always been hard. It's only hard at first, then it moves well. Now it sounds like dirty bedroom talk. And yes, probably comparing it to a 2021 Kia is not fair.- Juan Cano

Hard accelerator pedal
Hi; have noticed (and wife noticed too last weekend) that the accelerator pedal is hard to push. There is no soft start to the pedal, so sometimes if you are not being careful, you push it and truck lunges forward because you gave it too much gas. This has an Edelbrock Carb. I removed the...- Juan Cano

Yes please; not sure it will be cost effective to ship a liner from New Mexico to Rhode Island though. But interested anyway. My truck is not perfect so parts that are pretty good will work. Thank you. -

LMC Heavy Duty harness (quad headlight )
Hi; this is an old post but, working on doing this on my 1986 C10. So the 3-prong plug, you put that on the upper light connector that is on the wiring harness? Then the rest of the plugs just go to the light? Confused about this.- Juan Cano

Power Window Relay Conversion
This is why I am looking into the upgraded harnesses for headlights and windows. My driver side window, which works sometimes, I noticed previous owner added power cables (probably because it stopped working) and it's hacked together with the headlight switch and goes straight into the battery...
