    Need real-world exhaust advise

    Headers, 2 1/2” pipe, “turbo style mufflers” and turn downs gave horrible drone at some rpm. The fix was to install a crossover pipe. I made it so it could be removed with one side so I can remove the exhaust one side at a time and don’t have to fight with the whole thing. Anyway the end result...

    85 K10 with stacked headlights - are these connectors correct?

    I on purpose moved my low beams to the bottom due to getting caught is snow storms returning from snowmobile races. It helped tremendously to cut down the flair up and makes it easier on the eyes and brain. Southern guy probably won’t know what I’m talking about. Side effect it makes it look...

    1984 c10 Door Alignment

    Did the door get replaced? I purchased two new doors from GM and they fit like yours gaps at back, bottom and front are very nice but the top sucks. I was going to remove my drip rail at one time but after removing them the gap on top look worse so I just put them back on. Weld a 1/8” rod on top...

    Detent Cable adjustment?

    I hope the cable pictured is the old one you replaced because that one is definitely no good at the metal collar on the trans end.

    Stock type front sway bar or end link type?

    Run what you have either will do the job unless you are going to autocross and need more adjustability.

    Quadrajet

    Judging by the rivets still holding the choke on there is a good chance that carb has never been rebuilt. Clean it up and put a kit in it and as long as shafts are not worn out it should give many more years of service.

    New Speedometer Question

    1981-1983 use a mechanical/electric resumeable cruise control with speedo cable in and out. 1984 and up use an electronic cruise control which would require a VSS tied in with no speedo cables attached to the cruise control.

    Factory air cleaner/cold air setup?

    I was told on the 81’s the snorkel was on one side for the v8’s and on the other side for the v6’s. GM put the knockout on both side but only used one. I just used the parts from another v8 and weld it on and knocked out the other plug. The plastic part that twists into the rad support works...

    Did I ruin this pinion bearing?

    I’m too late but wanted to tell you to put it in with the burner bearing just to check depth so when you go to put on another bearing you can change the shim if required.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It’s not fast but is consistent. Normally 15.2-15.4 depending on the day. Short block has never been out of the truck, pan has a slight leak kind of a sweat but it’s never been off so it deserves to sweat a little. Heads were touched up back in the 80’s and now has a Crane cam, Edelbrock...
