    Door sills

    Thats one nice interior errr. whole truck. Thanks for the answer. I'm thinking of getting the aluminum ones. My plastic ones are beat. The light up ones are cool but expansive and I don't think they would last on a daily driver.

    Door sills

    Quick question what determined if your truck came with the black plastic, or aluminum sills? My 85 is a Silverado trimmed truck , but has the plastic sills.

    I took my failed pump apart and the diaphragm has a metal tab(button) that the arm pushes on. It had some how moved out of position, thus no pump action. The MSD comes with good directions. I ran a hot, and a ground from the battery to the box. I used an external coil so you need a wire and...

    You also have to pump the gas pedal to get some fuel into the intake. I guess Fuel Injection has us all spoiled.

    Ditch the modules and by an MSD 6AL box. This gets rid of the coil under the cap the module, built in rev limiter, and built in anti-theft. You can even by the adjustable timing control and adjust your timing on the fly. I haven't bought one yet. I don't see a need for it on my truck at this...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I like their products also. They even make a product for the inside of the glass. It's an anti fog .

    I always have to push the gas pedal a little to start the truck , even if it's warm. If it's cold i push it to the floor to set the fast idle. It's an Eddy 1406 , pump, and regulator set at 5-6 PSI. If the truck sits more than a few days, I usually have to spray some starting fluid in it to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I really like the steering wheel. I have the same little console and drink holder. It's even the same color. They are a nice piece.

    4 Inch Lift kits

    Tough country has lifts also. I don't have a lift on my 85 truck so can't speak from experience. From what I've read the ride will be rough with that brand. It's in the name :). Those tires will be a bit on the small size with a lift. I'm running 32-11.5-16"s on my truck. In reality none of the...

    Sbc dumping oil

    I usually tap the bypass port and put a plug in it. If you change your oil regularly it's a non-factor. By all means replace the cracked adaptor.

    AC/Heat vacuum selector valve part #

    Good luck finding a new unit. I got lucky and found a new in the box GM unit last year. It took many searches to find one. I got the last one from them. I had issues with the plastic, rubber, socket that the vacuum lines plugged into. The part that goes on the switch #6. I found one at the junk...

    I got a laugh out of your member's name!:D Pun intended. The 3+3 was advertising that 6 people could ride in the truck.

    Front posi-traction differential

    I don't see why any posi type diff wouldn't work. I would not recommend a locker for the front diff.

    Rear Shackle Bushing - Replaceable?

    Yes they are replaceable. The price of a new bracket with the bushing installed is not much more than the bushing and work needed to remove the old one.

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    You could try Thunderbolt they have been in business for years. They are on the North Side of Houston. You are experiencing why most of us prefer to work on our own junk. Most shops today don't give a rat azz about quality. The satisfaction of doing the job yourself is an awesome feeling...

    Newbie Vortec Cam Question

    My combo is a GM crate 350. The low compression 250 HP version. I went with GM Vortech heads , summit long tubes, the Jeg's intake, eddy 650, MSD 6al and the GM HT 383 motor roller cam. This combo makes good torque even with 3:08's and a turbo 350 tranny. I spent the money on the roller set up...

    Newbie Vortec Cam Question

    Thats a lot of intake for a mild 350 build. Is it a single plane intake with a 3000 to 7000 rpm power band. :oops: Personally I would look for a cheap dual plane low rise intake for your build. Jeg's has a nice intake.

    Rear wheels are sucked in way more than front. K10. Adapters? BAD IDEA? pics inside

    I used front spacers on my 99 Camaro. Had to do this to run skinny tires and wheels. Front Runners. I did replace the stock wheel studs with ARP front and back.
