    Any AC gurus?

    If one pieced together an AC system how would they determine how much refrigerant to use for maximum cooling efficiency? I assume the pressures on the high side versus low side play into the equation but how do you know when enough is enough? Asking for a friend..;)

    ‘87 454 R20 eye watering exhaust w/ windows down

    Cat. Been there done that. Everyone loves straight pipes and duals until they're sucking on an oxygen bottle to stay alive. Tragedy of the Commons.

    Just advice please

    Could be anything from a fuel filter to a burnt valve. Gonna take some time to work thru it. I'd drive it around his place for 30 minutes and if it didn't stall I'd go for it. I love the floor mat!. I could curl up and take a nap on that bad boy. @Ricko1966 can give you some more detailed...

    Temp gauge says overheating but the truck is 195°

    Your measuring surface temp assuming it's accurate. So, you have replaced every part of the gauge circuit and still have the same result based on the laser gun reading? Is the sending unit the correct one for the application?

    Valve cover bolts won't stay snug.

    Better heads and rubber felpro gaskets.

    Hydro Clutch Pedal Assembly...from an S10?

    Wait...what??? Do you realize that tilt, manual column is more rare than an honest politician?

    Need a bit more oomph...

    That's almost exactly what I have. 85 K20 bought with a new GM crate engine. I think the lower version is 260 hp (don't quote me). It sucked for power. I added Vortec heads, PF-4 EFI, Comp Cam, NV4500, Electric Fans, headers, dual exhaust and lots of other stuff. Power is now sufficient for how...

    Hydro Clutch Pedal Assembly...from an S10?

    Unless the steering column, dash and firewall are the same, they ain't the same. Possible some fab work might make them work but your back to square one. If you plan on using vacuum brakes, let me know, I know somebody..;) I assume you know that only 85-87 had hydraulic, not mechanical linkage...

    Holley Retrobright 4x6 sealed beams

    I just checked those out. I wasn't aware of them. It's good they have replaceable cartridges. I don't like plastic housings, they tend to get cloudy, especially here in the desert heat. That's why I like the glass version I got from lmc. And the price difference. I would absolutely cover them...
