    So I think I screwed up major, but not really

    To preface; I get groceries and do daycare runs in an 02 Tahoe. Now,I build steel buildings and barndominiums but we sometimes get slow in the winter. So I send half of my guys to split all the oakwood we have collected throughout the year and the other half to help me fix up old trucks....to...

    Edelbrock 1406, new distributor, trans shifting, seems weak

    Well where should it be? I keep having the sneaking suspicion that I should have more power than what it does but my brain just says it's a tiny little baby 305 and I have to be gentle with it. I am running my idle while setting my timing and RPMs and checking vacuum at roughly 850 to 890 RPMs

    Edelbrock 1406, new distributor, trans shifting, seems weak

    So adjusted it all, runs lots better but not a monster by any means. Trying to clean back there and see if I can't find the block number to verify it's a 305. I don't expect 13 second quarters. It resembles the difference in 4.8 vs 5.3 world I'm coming from. Long story short, she runs much...

    Edelbrock 1406, new distributor, trans shifting, seems weak

    Thanks Bruce, will set timing to be all in by 2000rpm and see how that does. I only removed vacuum advance to set timing and hooked it back after. We have been messing with detent but it is so old and nasty I couldn't get it to slide right. Will sprayed some pb blaster on it and try and get...

    drivetrain body swap square to 2002

    Ok, major transformation going down here. I need to sell the one ton to fund it but breakdown can commence. Going to put the square body cab on the complete 02 chassis and sell the other 02 parts as well. Gonna be a long thread so stay tuned. I'm gonna need help along the way I'm sure.

    gratuitous burnout, new to the forum ;))

    Fantastic!!! Got the floors covered, trim in, door seals on, and first two coats on door panels( light sanding and they take paint surprisingly well as long as you lightly dust them.) Going to the marketplace soon and on to the next one...

    Got the carpet in, will do floor mat in a few hours, and by popular demand I removed some of the overspray off the crappy tires
