What have you done to your square lately??
Replaced the taillight gaskets since one was missing. Now I’m in the cab trying to figure out the radio wiring butchery so I can sort it out, and also do away with the old trailer brake light wiring. I hate how audio shops chop everything up just to get a job done- makes me want to do it... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Nice! Since on the 81-87 the badges are hard to get to the backside, I’m just going to repaint mine- picked up some tiny brushes while I was at the craft store with the wife the other day. Just need to find a close match to the yellow. -
O2 sensor question
Yeah, good call. Sounds like we have a similar setup- mine is also Innovate. I was going to mount the control box inside the cab- if I remember right, the instructions for the LC-2 said that it needs to be protected from weather. So since it’s going to be close to the fusebox, I was going to use...- ChuckN

1978 chevy 350 issue
Yep, apparently it was a common issue- my ‘76 Nova when was given to me to work on while in high school had flat cam lobes.- ChuckN

O2 sensor question
Thanks guys! Sounds like pulling the pins and reinstalling them as the easiest way, the connector goes right to the control box and does not go to the gauge itself.- ChuckN

O2 sensor question
On my AFR gauge that I received for Christmas, the connector for the O2 sensor is HUGE. I’m fairly certain there’s no way to fit it through any of the existing holes in the firewall, and I’ll be damned if I’m drilling one that size. Does anyone know if affects accuracy on an O2 sensor to cut...- ChuckN

Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster
Sage advice right there. I’ll have to remember that every time I get a case of the “while I’m at it”.- ChuckN

Replacement doors?
In addition to AMD stuff, a local shop recommended Goodmark body panels, but I can’t speak from personal experience.- ChuckN

Loss of one of our members, ole mtnmankev
Thank you for taking the time to post and share @CrazyArk - RIP mtnmankev, sounds like one of a kind. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Challenge accepted. After owning vehicles only from the 70s and 80s, I took a car (VW Jetta) to a shop after I was dumbfounded by an intermittent no-start issue that I couldn’t resolve no matter what I did. The shop took a look at it and called me a couple hours later. “You just need to make... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’ve seen water pumps that should have been spraying like a geyser, but somehow the seal put up with it. As far as stupid goes- nope I’ve got stories about myself that would beat you by a country mile. -

What have you done to your square lately??
Absolutely. Actually, I love them all. Seriously. My primary purpose is simply to keep them on the road. I’m embarrassingly saddened every day that I see an old square rotting away and a guy only asking $1000 bucks. If I won the lottery, I’d clear my schedule, build a pole barn with a lift and... -

Scenes from a cruise before the holidays begin and the rain returns. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’ll be dipped. The GM invoice showed up in the email inbox. Never considered my truck might be from Pascagoula, Mississippi. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Finished up on the garage reorganizing (for the moment) and checked a couple spark plugs, look pretty good after the new valve seals. Gonna go for a cruise this afternoon. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Maybe it had too many…wobble pops. I’ll show myself out. Love your truck, it’s perfect. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Good info. @JamesSam I’ll bow out now, since the TBI system is nothing I’m familiar with. The only other thing I can think of is checking fuel pressure. Sounds like @Ajax19 has a good handle on it. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Ok, good to know. Is there any change to how it idles as opposed to before? Probably good to go back to basics. Check for vacuum leaks, check timing, etc. Can you visualize your accelerator pump shot with the air cleaner off? I can’t remember what carb you have on there. -

As someone who likes them all flavors, this is one that makes me cringe. It’s the orange juice and toothpaste of squarebodies.- ChuckN

I’d check your fuel filter. Easy and quick to do. -
What new tools have you got lately?
I’ve had a large set that my dad got for me from Craftsman about 25 years ago. Maybe less, maybe more, but they’ve always been helpful in a “quick scenario “ but I prefer a regular set if I really want to pinch onto something with my hand strength. Since it auto-grabs a “notch “, sometimes it’s... -
73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass
Thanks guys, good to know. Tomorrow will be somewhat sunny so I’ll see if I can see how far off it is. I don’t mind if it’s a little different- but then again I could see if I could get a matching one for the other side from the guy, gets seals at the same time, and have matching thicker glass... -
What new tools have you got lately?
Started on the second bin rack yesterday. It’s a helluva chore with only being able to bend one leg. Then I got the framing screwed together and realized I mismeasured- at that point my one good leg was cooked from taking all the weight so I gave up and put up the feet for some rest. Feel like...
