    Dash lights not working

    Are you talking about the factory radio wire colors? Are you using the factory radio plug with an adapter harness, or does the Retro Sound have the same type of plug socket so the factory harness can plug into it? Aftermarket grey wires are usually speaker colors.

    Dash lights not working

    The constant power is for memory, but you need to run the radio power to radio fuse directly, to the non-hot side. This should not back feed any other circuit and should burn the radio fuse first if there is an issue.

    Disconnect the radio & then see if your dash lights work.

    How much oil pressure is to much for a stock 350

    My stock 350 TBI runs about 60 on the factory gauge at highway speeds. It'll idle down to about 35, and I've changed the gauge once, a new sending unit & new connection at the sender. I also cleaned the contacts to the cluster really well when I had it apart a year or so ago. I've yet to check...

    Fuel Line Repair at TBI

    I'm in the same boat, po cut the kink/twist out of line & spliced with a short piece of rubber fuel line. I may install a new hard line this spring. Little idiocies like that drive me crazy!

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    This tube is for a core support intake. Where does the air cleaner point? I think that is why it was a little short for mine, as the air cleaner snorkel kicks off at almost a 90. Some, possibly yours, runs off at about a 45 toward the battery. The snorkel end is oval.

    87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?

    I have an extra snorkle tube in good shape, but it's a couple inches short to fit my '87 TBI, it may work for you??

    Vacuum lines where do they go

    That's a Rochester Quadrajet, but all your identifying numbers are on the other side above where the throttle linkage hooks up. Get those numbers and that'll tell you what you have & the build date.

    Vacuum lines where do they go

    That's right Ricko, choke fitting is for the air tube! It's just been awhile since I've looked at an engine with a carb!

    I finally gave up.

    IKESSS! I think I'll spend the $400 for an aftermarket vinyl one & be happy!

    Vacuum lines where do they go

    Is that nipple at the top right of carb the same size? I just can't recall exactly what it should hook to. I would think off the intake somewhere, but not 100% sure.

    Wow, people always find a way to waste their $. Not sure where he thought the value of this would go.

    Are rubber valve cover gaskets JUNK? Pic inside

    I like the cork/rubber combo's & I use a SLIGHT film of The Right Stuff on both sides of the gasket.

    1980 dash ?

    It might be a month or so before snow disappears anyway. What insert are you looking for, a GMC ?

    1980 dash ?

    No, the 81-89 dash is different, you need '73-'80. Bone yard or new aftermarket. You should be able to find a non-a/c insert pretty easily. I have a sweet square honey hole junkyard I could look for you if you'd want to pay for shipping from MT.

    What is this relay looking module box on my valve cover??

    Those aren't OEM valve covers anyway, they came on factory replacement motors like the Target Master. It looks like that's the drivers side cover, not sure what'd be for??

    Mudflaps-not the woman type.

    I put 4 of these on my '87. Not a whole lot of help, but some protection with a clean look! https://a.co/d/8TyXsaV

    engine bay wiring- routing

    I believe you would. What does the harness plug look like??

    engine bay wiring- routing

    They are not supposed to be tee'd like that near each other. The sending unit is supposed to be down on left side of block by the filter. The Coolant Temp Sensor is for the TBI system & should be a 2 pinned plug. The temp sending unit is on the side of the block & is usually a single clip-on...

    NEW PORT ENGINEERING. Wiper motors (new) anyone bought this yet? Pic inside

    Are saggy baboon balls available in 2 speeds??

    I finally gave up.

    I bought the urethane dash made by Dashes Direct & it has a few fitment issues. I may sell it and buy the vinyl one instead. Hopefully, they fit better!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I have a set but it'd be expensive to ship to you. Power or manual??
