    84 Chevy 305 intake and carb swap

    that might be close but I was always told anytime that cable came loose it had to be adjusted, most are supposed to adjust on there own you can look up how to online. It went something like depress the d shaped tab and slide the cable back to the firewall, hook it on the carb and press the gas...

    84 Chevy 305 intake and carb swap

    if you have a 700r4 trans you better make it right or that trans will be toast in a hurry, I've done it. If it's a th350 or 400 sm465 etc. should be ok with whatever. They swapped my 86 with an e brock intake and carb and looks to me like a stock bracket bolted onto it. I don't think I have...

    New 4x4 project!

    looks like that tube grille is for the newer 81-87 all square them older ones the last bar is usually a lil shorter across since the grilles taper down on the older ones. I could be wrong but the ones I've seen for te older trucks do. Is the bars all flat no peak in the middle? The one dad has...

    Cruise control removal

    ^^^^^^ this must be what my 86 gmc has as there's no transducer on the fender with cables. It for sure had the wiring and the vacuum tube to the brake light switch.

    Cruise control removal

    I would unhook it from the pod of the cruise, fire it up and put your thumb over it, see if anything makes any difference, then depress th epedal with it running and do the same check to see if any vacuum is present. and now I need to go do that very thing LOL

    Cruise control removal

    mine vacuum lines goes into the cab and to th ebrake light switch I forgot about it. I simply cut mine off inside the cab, and I don't think it has any vacuum leaks, I don't hear any or have any issues but again haven't driven it. Just out of my garage.

    Cruise control removal

    I would simply unhook the vacuum line and remove it from said t or connector and put a plug in it's place. The wires run all the way inside and up the column you'll have to cut those off or you'll have to really loosen up the column brackets and the one that wraps the column with 4 bolts and...

    What would cause the gas gauge to peg past full?

    ours doesn't move at all now it just stays pegged past full. I know for sure ours is the lil stud on top of the unit and not the frame side of the ground, we've always had troubles with it. On a side note I've got an 86 gmc here now and it's the opposite it stays on empty when I put over 6...

    I've got an 84 c10 here that's done it several times it's the ground not getting connection on it. I know because I tried to tighten it up and then it pegged past full.

    Rear window visor

    Those fiberglass ones that bolt on the bed or cab won't work, I mean they fit but rain will come in. The bed mounted as posted above sits behind the cab so rain comes right down, sitting still anyways driving it may stay out alot rain wise. The other style as I had for my s10 that bolts on the...
