    Gas Gauge issue

    I had my original sending unit replaced about 3 years ago because I had needle bounce when driving. Everything was fine, at least I thought, until today. I decided to drive my truck around today running as much of the gas out currently in the tank out without running out. I started at 1/2...

    Rochester 4-bbl quadrajet idle on 1978 Chevy 1/2 ton

    Thanks. I actually have an original service manual and in quickly looking through it did not find the specs until after posting. Thanks though.

    Rochester 4-bbl quadrajet idle on 1978 Chevy 1/2 ton

    Had a friend come down and he was able to get it set. Just needed a few turns of a screw here and there. Sounds like it should both at high idle and in gear. Gotta love someone who can tune by ear. Thanks. BTW, stock engine and about 500 feet above sea level. Thanks for the help.

    Rochester 4-bbl quadrajet idle on 1978 Chevy 1/2 ton

    Can someone please help me. My idle is messed up/set too low. When I start my truck, it wants to stall out 3-4 times before the idle sticks. Will idle at a low rpm before ramping up to high rpm until warmed up. Can someone please provide the specs for a Rochester 4-bbl quadrajet. Thank you

    Power Steering pump

    So Rock Auto has the best price on Lares, so going to order a new one (1/2 of what O'Reilley charges :confused: . BUT!!! They offer a 1 or 2 bolt attachment. Other than ordering both what are the chances that it is a 2-bolt attachment?

    Power Steering pump

    Okay, thanks for the input. Now, if it were YOUR beloved 45 year old, one owner, pampered and would like to be buried in it, truck, which one would you feel comfortable installing. Honestly, I only need it to last another 20-25 years because I will probably be ashes-to-ashes by then. The...

    Power Steering pump

    Okay, Thanks to everyone for their replies. I have decided that I am going to have a new pump installed. I do not have the confidence to do it myself and the last time the other person here decided that "we could do it ourselves", the heater core was removed and it took 2 years to get back in...

    Truck for sale in Virginia

    Thanks. Hope he can give it a good home. I hate to see it unloved and just sitting there. I would give it a good home but I don't have the money I think/see that one is going to need. I have a feeling something is really bad with it. Last inspection was 3/20. My guess would be engine...

    Truck for sale in Virginia

    Hello all. This truck has been sitting down at my local BP station in Afton, VA (near Wintergreen Resort) for a few months. A "For Sale" sign just showed up. I know nothing about this truck or what exactly is wrong with it nor do I know the person that has it up for sale. Body needs some...

    Boom Mat under hood

    My cats go out. I have some that are mighty hunters and sometimes bring me a present only to crunch it up inside. They also rule the dogs and the dog beds. Ripped the insulation out so no more enticing bedding availability. I use bags with mothballs in my trashcans to detract the bears (so...

    Here we go

    Walked that path like 2 years ago. It is a true labor of love. Take your time, have lots of patience and enjoy the end result. I still cannot believe I totally re-did mine top to bottom all by my little lonesome.

    Boom Mat under hood

    Hi, thanks. That is the problem. I did buy a new hood liner and clips and Mickey Mouse decided it would make nice bedding material and built a nest up in the nose of the hood over the latch loop and invited their friend to build a nest further back and then store their acron trash under the...
