    Need a 1987 R10 350 valve cover grommet set

    I think Fel pro vavle cover gasket sets come with those, It's been many years since I had a TBI motor in anything tho, but I do remember changing out the gromets and I am pretty sure they came with the gasket set.

    Edelbrock 1405 carb running rich

    Ive never seen one plumbed straight into manifold vacum, theres always been some kind of a diverter or solenoid. when I rebuilt the rochester on my 1978 blazer it was hooked to timed vacum and if I remember right the emission tag called for 6° advanced, I will take a look tomorrow and double check

    Edelbrock 1405 carb running rich

    theres more than 1 way to skin a cat, I was referencing your truck in saying that constant manifold vacum to the distributor will be wrong, unless like he says you have installed a vacum can locked out at 10° which I highly doubt.

    Battery Good...No power/electricity, nothing, when key is turned to start. 1984 GMC Sierra 1500. Started once but nothing now????

    I would start by verifying battery terminals are clean and connected tight, than check for power at the starter, and than check at the fuse block, there is fusible links that can and do burn up, do some research on where there are located, (by the starter is what I have seen, but can be...

    Edelbrock 1405 carb running rich

    Backfiring and "puffing from the carb" could very well be timing related. as far as I know no squarebody came from the factory with a locked out vac can setup for manifold vacum, so I wouldnt suggest someone having issues hook up the vacumn advance that way, if it works so good whats the need...

    i think it does have its place to be a vaible way to set up distributor advance, but I dont think having the op change his current con
