    Alright after dreaming about this one all night I decided to climb under the hood this morning and see if the pump would trigger a stream of fuel and it doesn't. So that is my issue, or the float bowl got empty overnight and there was nothing to squirt. Either way, I took it back off and will...

    I've got a feeling my new accelerator pump is bad and it's going to have to come back off in favor of the old one. I have a weird cold start flooding problem too I need to figure out. Once it's warm it does alright if you can live without that pump shot on punching it.

    Alright guys watch that second video and tell me what I've done here. I think it's worse than before. It starts great cold. But after the choke turns off it starts flooding like the float has stuck. So bad it can die. You can hear the bowl drain into the intake. Give it a few and it'll start...

    It surely is. I used a ball joint press and a regular 20 ton press and an air chisel and a torch and it goes forever lol

    Yeah too far from me even if he was fair on the price so I didn't bother calling. Now I am starting to get curious enough to call though. lol

    Pick the fav car you owned but follow instructions:

    My top 4 won't knock anyone's socks off like some of the previous. In this order is how I would rank them. 4: 93 Chevy C-10 Stepside - This truck was a 4.3L with a 5 speed but had the Silverado trim so was pretty cool. 3: 93 Mustang Coupe - This car had the 2.3L 5 speed car which I put an old...

    Help with cam selection

    I have a set of 186 heads which are pretty similar to those you mentioned. My local machine shop quoted me $400 to put hardened seats on the exhaust side, check them for cracks and grind the valves and stuff so they were read for a new install. Your machine shop may be different but wanted to...

    I bought the energy kit and put them in factory control arms. Check my build thread for some pics.

    Not sure this fits this thread but if any of you are near this guy it might be a good source of parts. I didn't call but he's in PA advertised down here in KY. https://eastky.craigslist.org/pts/d/new-kensington-california-square-bodys/6929605876.html

    Maybe these links will work. Timing is around 5-6 degree advanced at idle. Interestingly with the vacuum advanced connected or not it didn't really change. https://photos.app.goo.gl/FY3kbniygnB5zkmQ7 This what happens when you whack it open fast. https://photos.app.goo.gl/A1BH2ePaHdgueczy6...

    I'd like to keep it as original as possible.

    69 GMC C-15

    Well I still haven't found the problem but it does have a real hesitation if you whack the throttle open real fast. Revs good if you roll into it though. Probably need to check my plugs after the super rich conditions from the flooding before. Also found my new filter gasket leaks but the old...

    Still on the stock dizzy and I have not checked the dwell. I replaced the points and condensor in 2011 maybe. That could be my issue but it's not had 3k miles put on it in that time. After the carb rebuild and it was still doing it I started to think it might be in the spark side of things too.

    It appears that driver comfort was the last thing on this builders mind when designing this heap. That wheel and those pedals? How awful. I have a set of those seats too and they suck real bad. Why not make the cage worth while by putting some braces down to the bed since it already has the top...

    Get ready for the worst photos of a fuel tank you've ever seen. My seat doesn't tilt forward so this is as much room as I have without pulling the seat. You might have to wait until upholstery time lol. We're in luck! I found some of when I had the tank out years ago.

    I've not been in the tank yet. new one in the carb though. The tank is on the to do list because my gauge isn't working from a sank float or bad ground maybe.

    That new ones base model will be as fast as the current z06. I can't see this new one being anything but awesome. They've made mid engine vettes in the past but they never hit production. Its just good sense of you can go as fast with 200 less hp by putting the engine behind you stick it in the...

    By hand today. Took my whole lunch break and then some lol. I didn't think it would take this long. I still have all the trim, the hub caps, around the windows, tail lights, and the back bumper to do. Then a wax job. It still has an off idle miss. Not sure if it's the carb or maybe electrical...

    Polished the grill and front bumper today on lunch. What do you think about that? Before: https://www.gmsquarebody.com/data/attachments/109/109768-6ce6838f842288921902ddad8fb0647e.jpg After: Left side is polished and the right is not: Around the headlights:

    Good news gang! I put the carb back together, no left over bits to throw away outside of some extra gaskets and junk from the kit! Even better news, the carb is back on the truck, it started, and with a bit of monkeying with the idle air screws and the idle speed it's holding almost 17-19in-hg...
