    I do also have the 10* balancer. Seeing that I am probably going to tear it down and start from scratch this weekend.

    ok you did explain that earlier when you mentioned it like that had no clue. I have a regular timing light you just hook it up press a button and it flashes while the buttons pressed no fancy dials here. I should have a chance to confirm tdc and which balancer I am using. It is nice and...

    10* wheel?? If you are looking at the front of the engine with the hood raised it is the cylinder closest to the front of the engine on the drivers side.

    I understand. I'm open to any suggestions. When I clip it to the number one spark plug I try to clip it as close to the plug as I can. That's why I bought the extra balancer and tab because I had originally bought the tab but the old balancer wouldn't work with the new tab.

    Ok I will check tdc probably tomorrow due to weather today. The original 305 tab and balancer point at 12 but the new ones that I got are both around the 2 o clock position. I will try and get a picture to show you my setup.

    25* off? I have not tried increasing until it pings. Mainly it just concerned me to run that much inital timing but it isnt pinging or anything.

    right now I get about 40 or 42 total degrees at about 2200-2300 rpms or so. I went up to 2500 and it didnt change. went down to about 2000 and it dropped to about 38 degrees or so. I put one light and one medium spring in for the mechanical advance so that may be why its flattening out?

    engine running funny

    To set valves I rotated each cylinder to tdc an spun each pushrod with my fingers until it had some resistance then went an extra 1/2 turn. I don't have any valve train noise. If the valves were too tight would I get backfire out of the exhaust or intake? I feel like that vacuum is low but it...

    Is that possible even if the timing doesn't jump around? I replaced the harmonic balancer as well. With a new timing tab both put tdc in the 2 o' clock position.

    Yes that is with the vacuum advance disconnected. It ran ok before the swap idled pretty rough but other than that pretty good. Still never went over about 3000 rpms. It would do the same it would hit about 3000 and just flatten out.

    So I have an 85 k10 with a 305 with a 700r4. I know its a 305 but Im trying to get some input on why my engine is running rough. I put a new summit SUM-226014 Stage 2 intake, a new summit 600CFM carb, a summit-1065 ADV duration 284 .05 duration 218 .458 lift and 110 lobe separation cam...

    Engine troubles

    So I just replace the cam, intake, and carb on my truck it is an 85 k10 with a 305. I can get it running but it will not stay running with under 20* of initial advance. I recently did some research and found that the cam I used already had 4* of advance ground in and I advanced it 4* as well...

    I hate to bother you again sky surfer but do you have any pics with your wheels and tires? Also what brand tires do you have?

    Will These wheels work?

    Skysurfer with the 315 75 16 s and the 4.25 inch back spacing did you have to trim any fenders? And are the wheels 16x8s?

    Will These wheels work?

    I did finally find somewhere on the internet that the front track on the 8 lug is about 2.5 inches wider than the 6 lug. So those rims should work because they will have more tie rod clearance. I am probably going to go with 16s because I am trying to do this right but as cheap as possible...

    I cant even fit a pinky finger between mine with the 1/2 ton axles. Here are both of mine.

    Will These wheels work?

    Yes it is like that on both sides. I guess it is different from 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks? Im getting the 16s because I am upgrading to 3/4 ton axles. I dont want to grind the calipers and all that. I will get pics when I can we have some storms rolling through and its raining very hard...

    Will These wheels work?

    I am doing an axle swap from the k10-k20 axles. I am trying to find some rims that fit. I was wondering if these will fit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/brw-997688042/overview/ I looked at the stock 15x8 with 4 inch backspacing rims that I have on there now and it looks like the tie rod...

    35s with 4 inch lift

    Are the k10 and k20 tracks the same? I'm looking to have my wheels stick out a little bit farther but the only rims that are reasonably priced have a backspace of 4.25 and 4.5 inches.
