    Tuning chart Edelbrock 1400

    Ladies and gents First of all I love my truck. Since having it back from solving the darn break problem, I put around 100 km on it and found little reason for complaints. Nice drive and good feeling. One is I need a new clutch rather soon. Two is it bogs when cruising and stepping on the gas...

    Color code rear step bumper

    I have the contract in front of me, dating 1974 between 1st owner and dealer. It says step bumper. There is also the sticker on the driver side inner fender and that states v43. it has the bumper installed, also pictures from the late 90s I have. Is there still room for doubt? Of course it...

    Color code rear step bumper

    Well, the truck came OEM with painter step bumper on the rear. That is original For the rest i already thought that a full paint job might still be better all in all. Can you tell some details on the seam sealer? Pretty worn of at my bumper and worth being newly done

    Color code rear step bumper

    amazing, the color in the exact code 521 is available. I hope it is the right or I´ll have to paint the whole bumper to keep it decent. may be I have to anyway as there sure enough is aging to compensate

    Color code rear step bumper

    ja, no bright snow white. That would be odd I agree. 521, thanks for the hint. I´ll see what I can dig out what this color would be in todays world.

    Color code rear step bumper

    Hi fellows, I need to pick some brains, please. My 74 has a white step bumper in the back. It needs some work and thus new paint. I can´t find a color code for it, the only thing I find is Y43 which I believe to be an option code, not the paint. My glove box only has one sticker, something...

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    hi y´all finally I have my truck with me, now. The shop got it done, it was, not as anyone ever mentioned it, the rubber hose. I take a bow. Thanks to your persistence and numerous claim that it must be the rubber hose, I could make the shop having a further look into them and that changed...

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    Fluid comes out and piston travels back. So i was told

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    Lots of yes. Scottgenex, the hardlines from prop valve to caliper are new, that because of corrrosion. The prop valve us new, that was done as thought of reason for the lock. The rubber lines, flex hoses, are not new but were interchanged left vs right and back. No change, whell still remains...

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    Truck still won't move. The rubber hose, and yes there is one each side, is not the problem. They switched the hoses left right. Left brake still locks, right still operates well. Changing back again did again not change snything. Another round of bleeding at the caliper bleeding screw shows the...

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    it came with discs from the factory. If not anaybody changed the master against the wrong one I can´t see how that might happen, But, everything was already seen, right?

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    That line is changed and steel. No more rubber. It started locking up hard after a regular drive. Ever since it locks hard immediately after only pushing the pedal - I can´t test it in hot as the truck won´t move enough. stock as in no aftermarket stuff, yes. sorry for the language barrier. I...

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    I cant think if how, too. Yet i heard it happen. Explanation is that not all calipers, hoses, valves etc are equal in throughflow. Now, if the master is also rusty aged clogged it might just be enough to not release pressure enough on both break cylinders but, only on the easier one. My left...

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    Thanks for the replies. Lines are new and steel. Caliper is new and piston is free traveling when not pressurized. I assume that is the same as open the bleeder? I am puzzled. Is there a way to test the prop valve?

    74 C10 front left disc locked

    Hi out there Need to ask for ideas, I am running out of 'em. My front left brake doesn't release after braking. It is power brakes and all stock material afaik When the caliper is taken of the system the piston travels freely. Changed so far are lines from prop. To Caliper, and the prop valve...

    Good sound with one pipe only

    I saw thar video, very informative and in the end suprising. What type/length magnaflow is yours?

    Good sound with one pipe only

    It does not sound as loud as other original 40 videos i saw. Yours actually sounds what look for. Man it is hard to get a clear picture from indirect sources i.e. not seeing myselve in person and live. Driving in the snow on a sunday on the local home depot parking lot ... Yeah i remember that...
