Hard starting after sitting for a few days
i am sub-novice skill/understanding level but i'll share my sure-fire startup ;) turn key on, half a beat while my chinamart tach 'calibrates' itself. slow press of gas pedal to floor with slow release. crank truck. 1thousand one, 1thousand two, 1thousand three (maybe a 1thousand four) -if...- WebMonkey

Old Bedliners
i've found those hard plastic 'corrugated/channelized' liners don't trap moisture as bad as some. air can move around a little better than the rubber mat stuff that seems to accelerate the rust-out process. :) good luck 'monkey -
Rochester Quadrajet Woes
the divorced choke is a good sign it's the 'right time frame' quadrajet. my '85 uses an electric 'all on the carb' choke. i agree that not firing on ether or dribbled gas down the throat points at an ignition problem. maybe in addition to a fuel delivery issue. (my truck came with a...- WebMonkey

Rear drum spring kit
they look like back plate access hole plugs (the rectangular things) you gotta put the drums on with the brake shoes 'not expanded' then you spin the star adjuster through the access hole to get the shoes 'up close and personal' to the drums. 'monkey -

Engine Block Heater for SBC 350
chemistry! :) battery chemical reaction slows, even stops at low temperatures. used to have battery warming wraps to keep the battery in the sweet spot of temperature to deliver full discharge/charge. the coolest battery, lifepo4 is very intolerant of cold temps. parents kept spare flashlight...- WebMonkey

Holley Retrobright radio interference solutions?
snap on ferrites are about 1/10 as effective as a single torroid with 10 'turns' through it. to further complicate, the 'mix' of the ferrite determines the frequency range it is most effective at. you'll want a mix 31 or 43 for common mode suppression up to 300mHz. on the power AND the antenna...- WebMonkey

Sirius/XM "Roady" with original GM truck radio
the user manual says it'll play 'through' the fm receiver. (inline with antenna) i ran a 12 disc changer that had an inline antenna 'box' and i never had any trouble out of it. the inline 'box' type of gadgets have far less issue with interference than gadgets that emit a signal relying on the...- WebMonkey
