    Carb at high alt

    I live at 5800 feet, and drive up to the hills up to 10,000 all the time. Original cr*p carburetor, and it does fine.

    I got a lift

    Its a MaxJax, and I do not recommend it. But, the size is right for me. BendPak are a bunch of unreliable screw balls.

    NAPA Power Steering Pump?

    Just a note about Napa. I worked for them for 2 years about 5 years ago. A friend of mine was made district manager, and they have been working on eliminating "old" parts from their inventory. Parts for our Squares will slowly fade from their shelves.

    NAPA Power Steering Pump?

    My O original pump still in place after 44 years. Previous owner took it apart and cleaned it. Don't know about bearings. 6 cylinder pumps are very similar or identical to V8 pumps. No leaks, no problems. It used to leak, but it was the hoses, which I replaced.

    NAPA Power Steering Pump?

    I go to a hydraulics shop and they make hoses for me. GM uses funny fittings, so they made an adapter from the pump, and used standard parts for the rest of the hose. I told them how long I wanted it so it fits correctly.

    Backup light switch, I've replaced and still no lights any help would be appreciated

    I think he's working on an 87 with a 350... and... Either the switch is bad, not being actuated by the steering column, or no power at switch.. Then, check the bulbs in the rear tail lights, see if you get 12V when in reverse. Careful with a running engine and truck in reverse.. Check to see if...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Painted my grill badge, added some weatherstrip on leading edge of door to reinforce door sealing. Gotta do something about the front bumper soon. Truck running perfectly and even the wife drove it the other day.

    WTB Front sway bar for 81 Rwd C10

    Looking for a sway bar off an old truck in your back yard. Just the bar needed, I have purchased new hardware for it. My truck never had one and it could use it. FOR my 1981 C10 2wd 250/6 3 used to be on tree. I think it's about 1.25" dia, stock original v8 or 6 works, just not 4WD, that's...

    Leaking transmission pan plug

    Also, try Gasoilia... it's a sealant for such fluids. But, you have to pull the plug and clean, so a full drain. Either way, it's better than dropping the pan while it's full. Yik. I may have that name screwed up, but, it's a green paste.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I needed the truck the following day. I agree with you and saved the original alternator to rebuild myself soon, and either sell or save for failure of the new unit. One thing surprising, is after the alternator was swapped, the engine was so quiet, I thought it was purring (a 250-6). I'm not...

    Nice Suburban. I had an 88 suburban, a 96 (big block 2500), and now Ralph, shown at left. Good simple trucks. Welcome from Morrison Colorado.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So, OK, I did correctly diagnose bad alternator bearings, and replaced the alternator in about an hour. Looks buried under the PS pump, but, two bolts and out, then in. Hook up 1 plug and main output.. No big deal. Rock auto, $36, plus $7 core, plus shipping. I'm not returning the core, but will...

    Mirror quality question

    I just bought new mirrors (not from AMD) for another project, and yes, they are Cr%p. One doesn't even hold its own weight and just flops. I will have to modify it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'll probably get it off and find out its the water pump, or PS pump.. But my big stick says alternator. Of course, it's underneath the others. $36 from rock auto.

    Reverse light switch and wiring

    Brighter and BRIGHTER LIGHTS... How bright is too bright? I'm good.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    But, there are adjustments to make.. Timing, mixture, and someday I will replace the leaky water pump. This is a simple vehicle. There are less things to break and wear out. I hate new cars.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It started with the speedometer. My needle wandered all over the face and jumped around. So, I removed the cable and lubed the inner. Then, there was nothing. It just sat at Zero. So, I disconnected the lower end, and made sure it was engaged, and it went back to wobble mode.. So, I bought a...

    Reverse light switch and wiring

    Coolio, today I looked under the dash and saw the switch, with a blue and green wire. I pulled the plug off, and connected two wires (blue and green!) to the connector, ran them to a switch, with a ground, and installed it in the dash..When the blue light is on, the back up lights are on...
