    What have you done to your square lately??

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/paint-buffing-101.29998/ I did this on the 82's paint and it's in much more worse shape than the 84. It may help y'all a little bit understand how to do it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It's been like 30 years since I've done it. It takes practice and can be a little intimidating but you can do it. Got the variable speed buffer on Amazon and the Mcguires compound at Walmart. Just start out at slower speed and don't need to use a lot of pressure and keep it moving. Be careful...

    No fuel in carb at start up

    I'd pull the fuel line to the carb and check the little filter in there to make sure it's not too dirty. Heck you can just put a new one in they're cheap. Then turn the engine over with the line in a bottle or something and see if the pump pumps gas to the carb. If it is getting gas I'd tap...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Weird thing is I went to turn the lights off and they were off. I looked and it said direct fit. I'll look into it tomorrow. I think when I dropped one and bent the little prong on one side maybe has something to do with it. But it was lit when I took the picture. Idk

    Nope, I got them at Walmart. I don't remember how much but it was around 15 bucks or so I think. In a white and green box. 40w

    Shouldn't he hook vacuum advance to front carb vacuum fitting? That's where Mines hooked up. Manifold vacuum is constant right? Where carb vacuum increases with rpm increase. I might be wrong about this tho. If I am continue and ignore me. Lol

    Everything looks good to me. I don't have any vacume hoses to my water outlet on the intake but, it's not wrong. I just prefer not to have it on my truck.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sprayed wd40 on the crank windows crank and rollers because it was really hard to crank and stripped a handle. Drivers side is much better now with new handle and lubed. Passenger side is harder but able to get it down now. Before it was nearly impossible to roll it down. Lol

    Windshield washer motor questions

    Does your pump on the motor work when you hit the button? IIRC when I put the test light on it one had power even when the button wasn't pressed. I just hooked the positive side of pump to that wire and negative side to the other wire. And it worked. I can double check when I get home if you...

    Mocked up the led strip light. It's got double sided tape on it but I also got metal clips too. I haven't stuck it on with the tape yet. Just put the clips on it .this weekend I'll probably glue it on when I stick it. That way it won't come off at all. I think the clips hold it good but I want...

    LMC Parts

    I could definitely use a tan one for my 84. It's got a black one that's pretty much trashed. Just let me know when, if you decide to get rid of it.
