    Fuel filler issue. This can’t be right.

    Interesting thread, my '81 LWB has a similar problem, drives me crazy. On empty the gas flows well until it's about half full. then it takes an act of congress to get the last 10 gallons in. seems this would indicate a venting issue. Sometimes I swear I end up with more on the ground than in...

    Holley Sniper EFI fuel economy

    My truck with a 305 and TH350 + 3.08 got about 10 mpg. Installed a somewhat built 350 with a 700R4 and Sniper got about 12 mpg. Got the Sniper professionally tuned and I get about 15 mpg now.

    Dakota Digital RTX Install Critique

    My bracket held the controller and 1 BIM. I didn't look into any other options, might want to ask them.

    Truck Size

    Coming out of Ace Hardware last weekend I saw this. Not the best picture and probably the angle but good grief the new pickups are huge!

    It's alive - Blue Print + 700R4

    Understood No matter the financial payback or the lack thereof it has really transformed my truck to a very usable vehicle I enjoy driving every day. The truck was in excellent condition when I started, it just was older technology.

    It's alive - Blue Print + 700R4

    Just kidding about payback but the noise reduction at highway speeds was incredible. Now I just need to work on my vent windows...

    It's alive - Blue Print + 700R4

    A long overdue update with this install. Did end up doing Route 66 but was limited on time and did nowhere near the mileage I had originally hoped. My puppy and I started out in early April and when all was said and done we clocked about 1,700 miles. Overall I averaged about 14mpg, quite a jump...

    Dakota Digital RTX Install Critique

    Just installed a Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster in my '81 C10 and wanted to throw out a couple opinions and comments. I picked the RTX version because it mimics my stock instrument look almost exactly when off. The first is that DD has it together when it comes to building and packaging...

    Gas Gauge Problems Continue

    This just isn't normal or close to normal fluctuations. This is like it's tied to the throttle.

    Gas Gauge Problems Continue

    Maybe it just wasn't meant to be, a working gas gauge. I ended up going with a Holley Sniper and replaced the fuel tank with a LMC Fuel Injection tank kit #32-5984 that comes with a"floatless" cylinder sender and other items required for the change. Figured I'd finally have a working gas...

    Printed Circuit Question 79 K10

    I bought one of those circuit boards from LMC and was very disappointed in the quality. Typical Chinese junk. After I installed it 1/2 the lights didn't work. Found nothing was really wrong with my old one so I just cleaned it up and reinstalled. I'd do whatever it took to get your original...

    Want to build a good horsepower, good fuel economy engine for a 1978 c20 with stock 350. I don't know much and need help.

    I applaud your effort and want to give you some advice. Although I am a total SBC novice I know this has been true for the vehicles I've worked on in the past. Find a reputable vendor and talk to them about what you want to achieve within your budget. They should be able to put together a...

    LMC EFI Tank Sender problem

    I guess you missed in my post #3 that I had just replaced the gauge and already had tested it to make sure it worked. Oh well...
