What have you done to your square lately??
Took it out for a cruise and got a fresh tank of ethanol free. After that, got into figuring out why my voltmeter goes in and out. I’m putting it down to cheap printed circuit clips by LMC. Wasn’t making good contact. So I tried to adjust/bend one and it snapped in half. Have some on order and... -

Looks like driveshaft will need to be lengthened? Or is it just the pic? Nice upgrade! -
What have you done to your square lately??
I think that’s your temp gauge. Edit- Temp SENSOR. The gauge works better in the cluster in the cab. -

The sun came out so I went for a cruise and did some errands. -

1986 Automatic Transmission Leak
I’ll just chime in to recommend the Moroso steel core silicone gasket that @edgephoto mentioned. I bought one and it’s the bees knees.- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
Truck is back on the ground and put back together. Snuck out for a quick test ride before the rain returned. -
What have you done to your square lately??
It’s back at his mom’s house. Just kidding enough of the Vice Grip Garage quotes, @82sbshortbed- nice find. Given that you drive big blocks, I’m surprised you tolerated a 305 as long as you did. -
Exhaust Question
In high school, I had a ‘76 Nova with a 305 2 bbl. Right after my dad and I got it on the road and I started driving it, the single exhaust fell off it was so rotten. My mom took pity on me and gave me a couple hundred bucks to run it down to Muffler Man and they put a set of duals with no name...- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
I’ll check it out! Today was a challenge. So, the torque converter was a “bolt through “ design meaning there’s no threads in the converter mounting pads, you have to put nuts on the other side to clamp it down. But wait there’s more! The holes for the most part in the flex plate are 3/8, and... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Man, getting a half filled torque converter into a transmission for both “clunks” to seat it in while on a wobbly transmission jack was a little bit of a workout! My jackstands wouldn’t go high enough to slide the transmission out from under the frame rails so that was awkward at best and I... -

I don’t know anything about TBI, but that is a great reference. Perhaps this could be a sticky thread, I see TBI questions all the time.- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
STILL no torque converter yet…so I made the traditional cardboard to-do list and put it under the wiper blade. Going to pick up some ATF tonight. And be ready…I’m chomping at the bit! -
Summit Brand Headers???
I have a set of their ceramic coated on my C10, but is lowered and for a Chevelle for more ground clearance. FWIW, good quality. Nice thick flanges. No complaints, but with 4WD you’re jumping through more hoops than I am.- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
I thought about it when mine broke, but then I hired a guy to do it. I had NO idea how much tension those things are under and how he had to wind it up. It only broke because I didn’t lubricate the spring, it was binding as it wound and unwound. Now once a year, I spray some garage door silicone... -
AFR gauge installation
I don’t have a functioning radio, so I took it out, made a plastic plate that mounts in its place since the dash bezel was already hacked up.- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
@JamesSam I wouldn’t fret over Torx vs allen head. I’d use either. If you have to saw off for correct length, you could thread a nut on there before you cut it off, and then when you unthread the nut off the end, it’ll help clean up the threads if they need cleaning up. Mine is still up on... -

Gas in Oil!?
Edelbrock carbs seem to go dry very quickly. Mine does the same as yours- have to crank it to get fuel up to the carb then fires right away. You mentioned a glass fuel filter- get rid of that pronto. They are famous for cracking and starting engine fires. Second thing- check your fuel...- ChuckN

Has anyone bought the Summit Racing AlumaRally Wheels 17s?
That has to be them just rebranded for Summit. I took a look through all of them today. Even have an 18” version if I remember correctly. I’d bet a set in 17” would look killer. I wouldn’t mind a set of 20” rallies, but so many companies are making them that in the lowered C10 world they’re...- ChuckN

I’ve always wanted a set of the GM floor mats. They take me back to my youth, but the cost of entry always made be balk. I’ll end up with a set eventually. -

I get the idea. Either way, that TBI looks much better!
