    Period correct wheels for 86 K10 Stepside?

    Its probably lifted properly- arched springs and not lift blocks, so it looks factory.

    250i6 mods for Highway Driving

    Step one is figuring out your gears and see where you're at.

    73 Blazer 350 spark plug stuck

    I like to use the square easy outs. It's nice to wiggle them.

    73 Blazer 350 spark plug stuck

    Truthfully I stopped reading your response when you told him to pull the head. Or the "right way" was to pull the head. The EZ out method works great, I've done it many times on all sorts of rigs. You gotta make sure the piston is down and the valves are closed as well. Either way I meant...

    73 Blazer 350 spark plug stuck

    Been done that several times. I'm assuming you put a socket on it and twisted the hex off? Put the plug wire back on and start it. The entire core of the plug will shoot out. the hex part is what holds the plug together. Put a little heat on it and an EZ out down it and it'll come right...

    Chevy 292 upgrades?

    Check out clifford performance. I seem to remember taking a 250 to over 300 inches back in my machine shop days. The Nova ran great. It was a quite a sleeper

    87 tbi 350 popping at idle and running rich

    This is unhinged man. I've had a pile of TBI trucks and blazers. I've worked on/fixed somewhere around a Brazilian of these systems back in the day as a full-time job not a hobby. Re-read my posts, I never disagreed that a meter wouldn't work. How you jumped to this conclusion is baffling. I'm...

    Square body on new chassis?

    The rear mounts were easy. Square body cabs have the mounts inboard from the frame rails. I made a cross member and welded it in place. Admittedly I take crappy pictures and never think to document the progress. The front cab mounts were not bad either. The newer frame is wider than the...

    87 tbi 350 popping at idle and running rich

    You are making this a pissing contest amigo. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and your methodology can easy give false results. It is what it is.

    87 tbi 350 popping at idle and running rich

    You're exactly right, but that should be a ballpark figure. Its much more valuable to read it in real time as it's happening. I turned wrenches for a long time. Lots of these momentary faults, or "hiccups" can only be found through graphing the data. One good bump and the sensor loses...

    Square body on new chassis?

    This is my truck. I lost my old login credentials so I started a new username. I still have it and it has just under 300k on it. Folks are shocked when I show them the Dmax under the hood. And to this day the only negative feedback I've gotten about the swap was on this forum, on this thread...

    87 tbi 350 popping at idle and running rich

    True but it'll be difficult to do that while test driving. It's nice to graph the data and watch for abnormalities.

    87 tbi 350 popping at idle and running rich

    Check the CTS. You'll need a scan tool that can read data. If its running "cool" it'll be pig rich, pop skip and have no balls.

    2.73:1 Rear - Do I have a chance in hell to......

    Actually the torque curve for a 305 doesn't exist. Ask me how I know!

    Project is stalled. Cannot solve brake problem

    Adjust the rears for sure. I'd also drive it before condemning it. I've had plenty with a soft pedal feel that work beautifully.

    Leave it out of OD. If it starts gear hunting between second and third, shift it into second until it'll maintain third..

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That steering wheel would deter most!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mine got a new alternator after nearly 300k miles. Towed a couple big buicks as well.

    Has the oil pressure dropped?

    Glow plugs half work

    It should start on four glow plugs, especially all on the same bank. It'll smoke some but it'll go. How cold is it and have you checked the fuel for water?

    10 bolt front differential question

    I believe you are asking whether or not the pinion and ring gear need to be clocked in the way they came apart? If so, then no. Just make sure the shims go back in the same places.
