    1977 factory installed roof antenna,

    That base looks like an old Cell Antenna Base. I worked in that craze... drilled an awful lot of holes in the roofs of new cars !

    Eastwood Versus POR15

    I did a frame up pickup resto once. Had everything dipped. Frame got PR'd. That was a waste of time and money. Even dipped, you just can't seal the thing up enough to keep it from peeling. The only way to keep it from rusting is.... Well,...... So, I'm going to say something (some will) think...

    How many bolts hold the transmission on and where?

    Do it a few times in a week and it gets real easy ! I did an (1) out, in, (2) out in and an (3) out in all in a week while I was "checking" used transmissions. I'm 65, and I did it myself. Yes, LONG extensions expose the top bolts once the rear of the trans is lowered a bit. I used to do them...

    Quadrajet Mystery and questions

    I ordered one of Cliff's books today. It's something that I am at the point of learning about rather than just flipping carbs to keep it running. I' have had them apart a few times over the years, but not for any "tuning" reasons. I was surprised though that my -0204 does have a brass plug in it...

    Quadrajet Mystery and questions

    Yep, your right. Carb on it now (17056202) does feed from the left side, so it is Chevy. Another site now indicates Camaro and Corvette. I have been searching now for what jets/rods may have been in the '83 truck from the factory. No luck yet with something absolute. Thanks ! Current carb pic...

    Quadrajet Mystery and questions

    Wow, thanks fella's. That Cliffs forum looks like I can learn a lot there. And, the PDF will be tonights reading. I went out in the garage and found a carb off of my old '81 Chevy P30 # 17080204. This looks to be closer at least in age, but it was on 350/auto truck. I do know it was original to...

    Quadrajet Mystery and questions

    In August, I picked up a 1983 GMC C1500 w/ 305 (H-ESC), 700r4 and 273:1 ratio. Story was it had been parked in a shed for many years with little use by second owner who passed prior to his 90th birthday. Oil change sticker indicated that it moved 400 miles since early 2019, and was told by...

    Fuel Gauge Tank Selector switch and valve

    >>>> Can the switch and or valve cause my fuel gauge issue? Not the Switch I dont think, but the valve... Yes. The Valve has the contacts in it for the sender selection. I did two new tanks as well, and I thought I was out of luck getting the gauge to work. But, I switched the tank valve back...

    Help With Parking Break Dash Light Staying On

    If you do pull on the park brake release and lift up on the pedal and the light goes off, you probably just need to tighten up your parking brake cable a bit so the springs out back pull the pedal up all the way when released. If your afraid that you have weak springs inside the drums, you could...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'll take this challenge, But It's a list of what I did since the middle of August. I dragged home an '83 GMC that had been in a shed perhaps since around 1988. Wisconsin Truck, so there are a few little holes but nothing major. 71,000 miles on the clock. I'm 65, retired just a few months...

    Help with GVWR Label ?

    Oh Jeez.. two minutes after I posted, I used a KG to Lbs calculator and found that the second number is Kilograms ! Duh ! There is no indicator on the tag that says anything about Kg's, but 1339Kg = 2950 lbs. So, I got it figured out. Thanks anyhow. I'm pretty new to the group with a truck I...

    Help with GVWR Label ?

    Can someone explain what my Door Weight Tag is actually telling me ? Maybe I am just stupid, but they show two numbers for each section. Here is what I have: GVWR 5200 / 2359 GAWR Frt 2950 / 1339 GAWR Rr 3100 / 1407 I assume the GVWR of 5200 is the max weight, but what is the 2359 ? I don...

    Delay Wiper Module

    I'm new here. Haven't even looked into how to post photos ! But if I have it correct, all squarebodies wiper switches supply a ground to the motor for the speed you want it to run. Check your wiring diagram. My motor has 3 plugs on it. Way top is the Park Terminals, next lower is Washer...

    Delay Wiper Module

    With every car/truck I have ever had, I kind of disliked the delay. Especially the ones that make another swipe when turned off. And, I was always adjusting it... never right.... So, on my truck, I simply have a N.O. momentary push button in a small housing right under the turn signal switch...
