    Correct timing and which vacuum port

    I agree: 10* at idle with the advance line removed/plugged (initial timing.) Then manifold vacuum to the distributor. Hopefully the canister isn't one of the funky ones. If so, you may need an adjustable one that provides an additional 12* and have it adjusted to pull max advance about an...

    Question on size of Radiator

    I've been eyeballing this Eastwood for my 83 K10 with a 406 SBC. In my inquiry, I mentioned it must use OEM brackets and shroud and the engine produces 500hp, 2,500 stall, a/c, blazin' hot summers and this is what they recommended. I don't know if you've seen these or not of if it's what...

    Interior Insulation

    Same here. It's encouraging to hear what a difference it's made. I've only ever used it for stereo sound in the doors of a new at the time 08 Dodge Megacab and it made a really big difference in something that was already really quiet. I may need to Dynamat my wing windows and the rear slider...

    Sanden compressor upgrade

    That's good to hear. I'm getting mine installed here and there along with too much other crap but I've heard a couple of not-so-great reviews about Vintage Air. It's nice to hear a good one. I will say that I'm not super impressed with their instructions nor mounting brackets. It's been a...

    6.5" speaker mounting options

    I've gotten sidetracked with engine compartment stuff but here's where I left off on 6.5" speaker locations. Had to bore a damn hole in the body because my Fosgates are over an inch deeper than the kick panels. Shawn

    High Amp Alternator?

    Mechman seems to have some nice stuff. I'll be going with one of their 240 amp "quiet" units to keep the Holley EFI happy and power the stereo. I also don't know if the Vintage Air unit will warm up at idle speed so I'll have some juice if an aux a/c fan is needed. https://www.mechman.com/...

    Adding A/C

    Try Travis at Affordable Street Rods. He may be able to get a Vintage Air kit out to you sooner than what is listed. I got my evaporator kit a couple of weeks ago and the lines are supposed to be here Tuesday. Great guy to work with, too. 620-792-2836 Shawn

    Loss of power going uphill at 50mph

    A failing ignition system can do that under a load, too. You may want to look at a doing a tune-up there. Shawn

    '83 K10 Wiper "Pulse" Upgrade

    I appreciate the help, fellas. Been on the hunt for the module and it seems like maybe aftermarket might be the ticket unless I feel like rolling the dice on a used one. I was dreading the thought of needing a new motor that probably wouldn't jive with the current harness so it sounds like I...

    '83 K10 Wiper "Pulse" Upgrade

    I've scoured the web and can't find anything other than a switch w/ and one w/o pulse. Nothing about motors or pulse board for an 83. It's got to be in the switch then, doesn't it? Maybe the pulse board deal started when they moved the switch up to the column with the fancy buttons on the levers.

    '83 K10 Wiper "Pulse" Upgrade

    I'm replacing the now 40 year old switches since I'll be pulling the dash and cluster and I'd sure like to add the "pulse" wiper function. I asked Brothers about using their switch as an upgrade for a truck that didn't come with the pulse function and they said "absolutely" but I'd probably be...

    Front & Rear Leaf Springs for C and K Models

    New member here and apparently my first post is going to be dragging up the dead, lol. I bought my little bro's 83 K10 shortbed but haven't taken delivery on it yet so I can't walk out to see if it has holes in the frame for a 56" spring. It's got the usual 6-inch lift that rides like a dump...
