    Grounding question

    I've said multiple times, used to be only cars with a factory radio got the braided ground strap from the engine to the firewall. No radio cars didn't get that ground. Now it makes more sense.

    Grounding question

    Battery cable goes to engine . The starter and alternator are you're highest amperage circuits, so they get priority.

    A/C options - 81 C10 Non A/C cab (LS Swap in progress)

    I'd build my own engine driven system with OE parts. But here's a guy who did electric, saw the downfalls and figured out the upgrades.

    Is this a bullet hole?!?

    Maybe it was Blunderbuss loaded with Legos. Personally I didn't think it was a firearm hole either, but I won't dismiss the Blunderbuss theory.

    Is this a bullet hole?!?

    I don't think they all do, and not in all circumstances. I had one myself with zero problems. But Remington has been sued over them. The guy who's went off once before, should have investigated why or at least made sure the gun was unloaded before putting it in the car. Not all small block...

    How much paint do I need?

    If you are using fans as an impromptu garage paint booth, have them blow air into the garage through filters,even a bed sheet. Do not suck possibly combustible fumes through electric fan motors. Depends on what you are spraying and at what concentration,but not worth the risk.

    Is this a bullet hole?!?

    Wow, Remington has a few models with issues. The thing that got me about the 20/20 case. Was if it accidentally discharged through your roof, you need to find the problem, you need to get it looked at, you need to empty it before putting it away. It's not all Remingtons fault.You had a warning...

    Is this a bullet hole?!?

    There was some dateline? 20/20?episode a long time ago about Remington 870s accidentally discharging if you bumped the stock. One of the guys in the interview, his gun had gone off once by accident and put hole in the roof of his truck, he wrote it off as a fluke occurrence. But it happened...

    How much paint do I need?

    I'd spray it,even with a cheapo gun. It's still going to be less$ and a better outcome than 900 spray cans. But honestly I'd pony up for some budget single stage auto paint and a cheap gun.

    Voltmeter Not Working

    Just use a multimeter. If it shows negative voltage your red.lead is on ground and your black lead is on power. And no need for 25 foot test leads you can pull power or ground from fuse box, cigerette lighter,etc. A useful tool is grab an old cigerette lighter cord ,cut the cord ,strip the wires...

    Power brake upgrade question

    Converting from manual brakes to power,you need a power brake brake pedal or relocate the position of the pushrod on the pedal Power brake and Manual brake have a different pedal ratio. Give us more pics of the manifold,with the air cleaner off. Most of us have worked on 9000 V8 trucks to every...

    Carb help on a 85 c10

    Put a vacuum gauge on the inlet side of the fuel pump,see if your pump is pulling vacuum. If it is check all the hoses and lines between the tank and the pump. If there is a small leak the pump will pull air. But on the suction side of the pump there is no positive pressure so there may not be a...

    It's so the choke doesn't get power and open to soon,or overheat,from leaving the key on or extended cranking for other reasons.

    Air filter assembly for a 292

    You don't want a short air cleaner assembly,personally,if I were to use the second one,I'd stack 2 elements and get a longer bolt. The air will transition into the carburetor easier and with less turbulence. There is a reason people run velocity stacks and salad bowl mods.Also taller will deal...

    1977 K30 draining battery

    First thing disconnect the alternator completely. A bad diode will cause a draw. Next thing take a DMM in DC Millivolt Scale check voltage read at each end of the fuse,red lead on one end,black lead on the other. With everything off,no key in the ignition. If any fuses are showing .05 MV across...
