Am I crazy to expect more than 10 MPG
I had a 1966 Impala SS with a 283 2bbl, 4 speed, headers and a 3:31 differential I think (a long time ago) and I got 20 mpg. It can be done but not with a 350 I don't think. A 307 or 283, yes. Plus, the gearing.- Memaloose

Oil pressure question… or two questions
My oil pressure with a factory mechanical gauge reads 38-40 PSI cold at idle and 32-35 PSI warm. I run 10W30. I wouldn't let your pressures worry you, be thankful you have that much. I worry in the summer when the temp is over 100 about low oil pressure but it never goes below 30 PSI so I'm...- Memaloose

Low voltage issue 84 K10
You're right on the alt. A bad diode will still give 12-12.5 volts but won't put out 14-14.5- Memaloose

Belt trim fastener on fender?
From what I've seen, the 80's trucks have mostly adhesive trim. My '75 has screws, push in clips and bolt clips. I bought some NOS replacement trim and thankfully it came with all the original new clips. Personally, I don't like trim as it gets scraped off and dented in the brush but if it's...- Memaloose

brake lights no worky!!
Do you have the correct lamp in the tail light socket? It should be an 1157. Sometimes, I've seen incorrect lamps or installed incorrectly. Just a quick thought. -

Lucky you! My stock, all original 1975 350, 4 bbl, TH350, 4:10 differential, K20 gets about 14 mpg off road and 10-11 on highway. I only put about 1500 miles a year on it the past few years. It has 85,000 miles on it- Memaloose

Frame repair at steering box
I've never seen a cracked frame at the gear box. Do you think it's caused by turning the wheels while stationary or forcing the stops?- Memaloose

1983 K5 Blazer manual rear/tailgate window handle just spins? How do you take it apart!?
Be very careful with the glass, I broke one once on a Blazer while working on the mechanism, they shatter into thousands of pieces.- Memaloose

Truck won’t start.
I'm not familiar with your model of distributor but if it's like an HEI, I'd replace the ignition module or at least diagnos/test it.- Memaloose

Looking of a hood to fit a 1973 chevy k10
Too bad you're not in the Kingman, AZ area, you could get 2 good hoods for $100 at the local wrecking yard, hinges probably too. I agree with the hinge lube idea, I lube mine twice a year, it doesn't take much. -

Desperately look for this trim piece
I found a trim piece at the local wrecking yard. It's complete but there's a chrome section that is coming loose near the passenger wiper blade base about 1.5" long. I'm superglueing it back down. The rest looks nice, no discoloration or damage. If you're interested in it, let me know. Can send... -
Desperately look for this trim piece
Nice looking '78, I like the bumper guards. I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I go to the local yard. The trim on my '75 Scottsdale is all metal, it doesn't have the hood trim though.
