    1986 305 to 350

    So my 86 C-20's 305 has a bent pushrod and its lifter is falling apart. I want to swap in a 350. From what I can gather, 1986 is the bastard year SBC. Everything says pre-86 and 87-newer. What makes the 86 stand alone? Can I easily swap a pre-86 or post 87 350 into my 86? I'm obviously...

    Carb for 86 305

    Just did a complete tune up: plugs/wires, oil/filter, breather/air filters & PCV. Truck was bogging down under load and diesels after driving around. Couldn't punch the gas without issues but got up to 70 no problem on the freeway when I eased into throttle before tune up. Haven't test driven it...

    Air cleaner assembly/CAI/open air

    AFAIK, I'm running a stock 350 TBI with a K&N air filter. The PO didn't have the stock air cleaner assembly but had an aftermarket Edelbrock cover on the air cleaner. Here's my question: Should I try and find a stock air cleaner assembly and modify it to CAI out the front of the grill, or...

    Carport/Garage

    I'm planning on building a carport/garage within a year so I have a space to work in and store stuff (current 1 car garage is too small). Here's where I'm going to put it: I'm looking at doing a 20'x20'. Anyone know where I can find some free plans to start? I want to get an idea for price...

    Inner Fenders

    My passenger side inner fender is rusting out. How much of a pain is it to replace? I called the local classic Chevy place (Evergreen Muscle Car) and they said they don't carry inner fenders because you have to re-drill all the holes and they never fit right. I'm looking to find a decent...

    Weatherstripping

    Where's the best place to buy for my '87 V10 pickup? I'm replacing my window motors and door shells as well. Eventually getting paint. Should I wait on weatherstripping until after paint or will it matter?

    Blue Smoke

    My truck runs great, but at start up it shoots a puff of blue smoke. Should I be worried? What would cause that?

    AC Delco Radio

    So the radio a bought from an '85 works fine...except for changing stations. I can hit the buttons to change the stations that are saved and it works, I can turn it on and turn it off...but I can't change the station with the knob! The knob turns but the orange frequency indicator doesn't...

    What on earth is this fuse to?

    When I pulled the radio out of an '85, this fuse ended up coming out from under the dash as well. What's it for and where does it go?

    '85 A/C into '87?

    The PO removed my A/C compressor. I want my A/C. A guy in my town is parting out his '85 and I can see the A/C system. Can I take the '85's A/C components and put them in my '87 with no problems? http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/pts/3239538217.html

    Gauge/Idle

    For whatever reason, my gage/idle fuse keeps blowing intermittently. I have no idea what is causing it. I've started removing the PO's aftermarket alarm system to get rid of extra wiring (that was done terribly). I can't find any bad looking grounds. My neighbor grabbed a copy of the...
