    Does it have an add-on cruise control?

    350 Chevy with carb 0 oil psi

    Have you tried using "SEARCH" that is located in the upper right of the page? There are many strings about low to no oil pressure.

    Taking off passenger head about 37 bolts so far

    In for a dime, in for a dollar. Looks like a blown head gasket. If it was mine, I'd pull the nose and get a Harbor Freight engine hoist for ease of removal.

    4.1 mpg?

    With something like a turkey baster and the cap & rotor off you can pull a vacuum and see if the advance plate moves and holds. Any idea what is your axle ratio?

    Ran yesterday but not today… just bought it yesterday!

    Is it getting gas? That fuel filter looks like it may be the culprit. Hook up the choke to a fused 12 volts when ignition on and get a new rubber plug. Don't forget to ground one side of the choke.

    Oil Pan Gasket

    You might try some of the dye that's available and a black light.

    Head scratchinh situation

    You are having the same voltage drop issue that I have with my '74, however my truck started with a points distributor and the previous owner installed an HEI. To get mine to run I need it to get it spinning (key in start position) then let it go so it is in the run position. When I get around...

    No electrical power all of sudden while driving

    My vote is for a fusible link. Repair or replace the alternator wire first.

    Transmission Hump Questions

    I don't know about the different years, but I've put a mid 80's C10 cab on a mid 80's K30 chassis. Both were column shifted automatics. I just needed to cut the tunnel for the transfer case shifter.

    What about a piece of 1/4" bar stock panel bonded out of the way of moving parts?

    Fusible link burning up key off

    Reversed the polarity when hooking up the new battery? If it ran before you messed with it, retrace what you did.

    87 Custom Deluxe 30 shut off while idling.

    Do the headlights work? And I am confused about "the ignition switch on dash"

    Side molding removal

    I've had good luck the "eraser on a drill", don't recall what brand. If you want to get aggressive, acetone or "Brighto, makes old bodies new".

    No spark need help

    What's with the electrical tape on the wires going to the ignition module?

    88 Burb: Increasing Fuel Capacity

    If you have barn doors there are brackets to mount jerry jugs, easily turning a burb into a pinto.

    Diagnosing white smoke on startup

    Run it without the radiator cap and if you don't see bubbles, probably not cracks or a head gasket. I'm still voting for valve guides and or seals. You can also try a "leak down" test to check valves and seats (valve job needed).

    Diagnosing white smoke on startup

    My guess is valve guides and or seals.

    Cranking but no start after finishing job

    After checking for 12v at the distributor, pull a plug wire and ground a spare plug to test for spark. You may have shocking results.

    Looking for Stanadyne Model 80 Fuel Filter Base Part #15529641

    Any idea where it is leaking from? I patched mine with JB Weld.

    305 Swap To ???

    My first choice would be an any size BBC, second choice is a 383 SBC. BBC's are a bit heavier, no lowering kit needed.

    Oil pressure help

    You can use the old pump drive, don't be surprised if the plastic coupling is cracked. A high pressure or new oem pump might be a better option.

    What zero lash on the lifter rod should feel like?

    Was it running? What if anything did you mess with? If your lash is too tight, you will have starting issues.
