    406 dipstick

Why do I say this: so the block has a drivers side dipstick that goes through the block (which is a pain...

    Electronic fuel pump wiring

    Can you go ahead and give me the best wiring for the pump to be able to prime? I’m ramping up work on the truck again now that weather has warmed up, as my garage was not suitable for winter work. Thank you

    Noob dash issues

    Hello all, this is post #2. I have a ‘73 C10 and it came with some dash issues, surprisingly not lighting, those work great- my issue is that several of my gauges aren’t working.
