    The motor is the same for a '86 as a '76. And the '76 blower wheels show available at rock auto. Compare the external dimensions I linked above and you should be good to go.

    Rear AC Evap core & blower motor wheels. 86 Burb

    I don't KNOW, but they sure LOOK the same. The one for a '88 R10 Suburban with a 350 (Four Seasons 54430) lists dimensions. Check it against yours. Blower wheels? The Four Seasons catalog shows a couple blower wheels that may work...

    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    Hunter is not wrong. LED bulbs in the last five years have gotten much better at recreating the pattern of incandescent bulbs and working appropriately in reflectors. I've been running LED retrofit bulbs in my reflector based daily and motorcycle for that long. The main difference is I was able...

    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    I have. Not in that specific application, but they are designed to flow electricity just like a filament bulb without the extra impedance. The work when inserted in either direction.

    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    There are a ton of options. I recommend getting a glass housing for your headlights so you can swap whatever kind of LED you want in to it. As far as the parking lights, non-polar 194 LEDs should work. I will be testing this on my own soon. Non polars have a rectifier built in so that they work...

    Haven't done it with a t-case, but just did it in a 2wd car. Here's the settings available for transfer cases. There are extra settings in other areas, such as TCC Commander for 4 wheeling.

    PVC and PEX for Compressed Air

    We've had RapidAir line in the shop for a bunch of years now. Works great and install was super easy. It's terminated into overhead reels so it's all up on the ceiling.

    Fuel return diy

    For fuel, there's no issue running a 3 or 4 port regulator at the carb. The Holley 12-887 is a bypass regulator with an extra port for a gauge. I've got a catch can on my Camaro and my buddy's '63 Nova. They work great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081N392BN/

    1999 454 carb swap. best street carb, 600? 650? 750? CFM

    I've got a QFT SS 850 on my 383. Excellent carb. Was also on a 427 and a 350. Ran great on the 427, just a little big for the 350.

    Fuel return diy

    If you're only running 5.5psi and the fuel pump is "overpowering" the needle and seat, causing a rich condition, that would also prevent vaporlock. It's more likely that you smell fuel because the burning oil has soiled a spark plug and a cylinder is missfiring. Thus fuel down the exhaust. If...

    Limited-Time Deal: Save on Black Horse Grille Guards

    1988 was the first year of the GMT400. That is NOT a squarebody. Squarebodies are '73-87 pickups, '91 for Blazers and Suburbans.

    wiring issues

    Sounds like grounding issues. Stray voltages do all manner of weird things. The flashers and turn signals are separate circuits. Check your signals at both sides of the the comb connector in the steering wheel.

    Spark plug gap closed fresh rebuild

    What did those look like? It's entirely possible whatever was banging around in there did its thing and went out the exhaust valve. You should do a relative compression test. Pull them all and check. Anything over 120 is "enough".

    replacement hydroboost unit?

    https://a.co/d/0jsj4s5 Check that one out.

    replacement hydroboost unit?

    Because we didn't want vacuum issues with the 427 Shafiroff in it, and hydroboost units are a lot smaller than vacuum boosters. And yes, it stops. Biggest brakes we could put inside 15" wheels. When you stomp the brake pedal, you go back in time.

    replacement hydroboost unit?

    We used a Wilwood hydroboost unit in the '63 Nova. It's just a Bosch. Anything off an Astro or Express should work for people too. Sorry I'm late to the party.

    Where do I find a full set of door cards/panels?

    A lot of the used ones out here are garbage. AZ is not kind to the tops of them.
