    Replacement pump to carb fuel line

    I see some muscle car suppliers have replacement lines for sale, does anyone know if/where these metal lines might be sold. Worst case, I’ll pull one off of another truck and roughly copy. But I’d rather buy it.

    Custom seat 82 k20

    My 82 got damaged in a grass fire. The bed contents caught, blew out the slider and roasted the interior. Major loss but we are going to piece it back together. It had a custom seat with no markings I’ve ever found. The most similar thing I’ve found is...

    Correct carb app. for 1975 Blazer

    On national carburetors, it gives three options, light duty, federal emissions, and heavy duty. Which one would be correct and give best driveability and occasional towing etc? I’ve never bought a quadrajet new with the factory jetting. I had a small collection and lots of scavenged pieces. No...

    Dash mounted phantom wiper function

    1982 dash mount with delay. The delay knob has always been finicky. Sometimes it works, sometimes the delay works then you have to turn it back and forth to get anything other than slow constant. More recently it will do a phantom wipe(s). I understand this is usually a chaffed wire but have...

    Jb5, jb6, jb7 master and booster interchangeability

    My 82 K20 has an 82 c10 cab on it. It was that way when I bought 7 years ago. The drivetrain has jb7 calipers and rear drums and the MC is steel and looks like the jb7. 5 years ago my booster went bad and I am pretty sure I grabbed the booster off of the 78 parts blazer. I was ignorant of any...

    Replacement k20 hub

    Does anyone have experience with the ac delco "advantage" replacement hubs? The inner race on one of my hubs is too large for the standard race and am having no luck with local junkyards.

    Slip yoke bushing information

    I needed to replace my rear output seal. I decided to replace the extension - tail housing bushing as well since the tail housing to tcase was weeping. I figured I would get ahead of the preventative maintenance curve. Ordered a timken 5208 which all parts stores and rock auto list as correct...

    Rodents in hvac

    1982 with ac. I know I should just poke around, but I am sure some of y'all will know exactly where to screen off to eliminate them entering the vents. Is it an inlet underneath the cowl?

    Heat and soundproofing material

    My 82 has metal floors. I am going to put carpet or vinyl in sometime soon. The vehicle had no carpet nor do any of my other squares. How much will the carpet or vinyl and jute padding cut down on noise and heat? I am assuming not very much. If more is needed, what is the best bang for your...

    Front pinion support 14 ff seeping

    the front pinion support on my 14ff is weeping gear oil. There is at least one metal shim in there as well. I need to take the rear cover off to reseal and change lube. With the rear cover off, can I tap the pinion out of the rear bearing and reseal with rtv?

    Putting an egr back on vehicle

    1982 k20. The truck is my electrical contracting truck and is seeing a lot of highway miles. The engine had a block off plate when bought 7 years ago. I've got a mechanical temp gauge in the manifold where a broken switch was. I also have a broken switch in the tstat neck. Anybody see any...

    Resolved cooling issue-UPDATE post 8-better but not perfect

    The temp on my 82 k20 has been creeping past 195. It would climb to about 210 and climb from there if I turned the ac on. Idle, highway didn't matter. I replaced the tstat with a 195 ac delco(which is an Israeli made motorad)-no change. The water pump is an oreillys(Murray?) that is only a few...
