    door lock cyl. removal

    Likely the rubber gasket has melded the two together. Or rust. Try light 'persuasion'.

    350 tbi stumbles and backfires under load

    IIRC, one should be able to see the fuel spray in real time to a point. A timing light can help. Watch for drips too.

    Doh! Missed that. While still on the fuel idea... Bad fuel delivery, like pluggy filter ot weak pump?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Waiting on FedEx today, thought that it's time to get going on things. The 16.5s just aren't going to work out right now, and I need to verify my suspicion concerning which drum the 14bff is sporting. Yup, 13" drums. That makes sense, considering that it's camper special. Looks like these...

    Re-proved it runs. Which it does, it moves forward and back and it stops. But that's about it so far. I'm impressed, since it last did this 2.5 years ago! Renewed interest in moving forward. Roadkill!

    Passing CA Smog help - High HCs

    Damn, forgot the nomenclature. Sorry In case you can't blow that up like on a phone... Don't let the distinction between oxidizing catalyst and three way catalyst mess you up. OC is the precursor to TWC.

    Yup, in '77 you get egr in the heavy category only if you're a CA 454. It pretty much starts going to hell in '78 and by '79, the only ones getting a break is 8501 # and up

    Passing CA Smog help - High HCs

    After this latest round of bull$#it is wrapped up, I can try scanning this for a better view if there is interest. On edit - yeah, give me a little bit and I'll scan the pages so it's way easier to figure it out

    Passing CA Smog help - High HCs

    Does something like this help? Did this on the fly. I used to be a state certified emissions tech in Colorado in the 80's (amongst other disciplines). Alignment is my favorite sub sector of transportation repair.

    A lean condition will raise HC as well.

    Questions about turning a Burb into a 4 door pickup

    Keep getting bad alternators??? On #4

    More probably the load from heavy recharging on the bearings, that eases as the battery is replenished, would be my guess.
