    Fuel leak?

    Engine running rich, exhaust entering from the rear of the vehicle? Do you still get the fuel smell when the HVAC is on hi (non recycle setting)? You would want all the windows closed for this test. This would bring in fresh air from the front of the vehicle, and slightly pressurize the cab...

    So I need to install one of those trailer light adapters on a 77 K5. Is there any easy way to do that? Do I have to cut into the wires? Thanks.

    Questions about... My rear end?

    I have thought about swapping my diff out for a limited slip, but the whole axle is not in good shape - Aside from the diff, I would would have to install new brakes and all of the seals. It leaks gear oil from the pinion seal, and into both brake drums. So I figure if I am doing all the seals...
