Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10
I ordered a 2nd. gen Camaro wheel. I'll see how that goes. If not enough space I will pursue collapsing the column an inch or 2...... -
Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10
Now......... It has been probably 4 years since I replaced the firewall pad inside the cab. Due to the passage of time and the partaking of much fermented and distilled libations, I cannot remember if the flange/boot that seals the column to the firewall is secured to the column or not... When... -
Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10
I wish it was that simple.. IIRC the column has nuts welded on it to which the bracket is bolted. I can have 2 tabs machined to replace those silver inserts in the bracket to reposition it further inward. I will have to investigate possible interference of switches and wires with pedals and... -
Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10
I could probably fab an adapter bracket that would bolt to the dash, then have the column bracket bolt to it in the relocated position. It would need to have an offset in it in order to have the bracket bolt up at the same height as original...... It is interesting to note that the inserts thru... -

Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10
For reference, the bottom of the SW is 22" from the center of the seat on my '97 F150. The C10 measures 14-1/2" with the seat all the way back. No way can I gain that much, but anything should help.... Now, into vague territory...........wheel dish...... How is that measured?? Aftermatket... -

Steering Wheel Too Close '84 C-10
I find the steering wheel in my '84 C-10 to be uncomfortably close to my chest, even with the seat all the way back. I can't imagine how shorter drivers even fit behind the wheel........ Short of cutting down or replacing the steering column with an aftermarket part, what can I do to increase... -

Leaking Metal Fuel Line??
Tubing being delivered today. Removing/repositioning the clip under the MM mounting plate is about the only way to move the fuel lines off of the header pipe..... BTW.....O'Reilly's was the only one of 4 local shops who could get a roll of nicopp delivered yesterday...for $71.00/25' roll...- Ronno6

Leaking Metal Fuel Line??
Local parts stores did not have the fuel line longer than 6'. That left me about 1' short. My statement about the engineer is in regard to the placement of a retaining clip underneath the motor mount frame plate. This requires removal of the fuel pump and mounting plate, which can only be...- Ronno6

Leaking Metal Fuel Line??
The fuel line is out...no easy feat. I did have to remove the motor mount frame plate and jack the motor over to the driver's side a bit. A couple of answers" Yes, the line has a hole in it. Definitely the source of the leak. No, 6' would not be long enough to replicate the factory line. I will...- Ronno6

Leaking Metal Fuel Line??
Dunno why some whiz-bang engineer designed the routing of the metal lines under the motor mount plate.....they come way off the frame rail, but do not need to.... so far that they hit a header pipe... now I gotta replace 1 and re-bend (hopefully) the other 2... there is another hard line...- Ronno6

Leaking Metal Fuel Line??
The supply line is the only active one in the system currently. The vent line is not connected, and the return line is connected to the fuel HP pump sump for the EFI I am installing.- Ronno6

Leaking Metal Fuel Line??
Yup. you remember correctly...unfortunately. So, how do I extract that bolt without removing the mount & plate??? Also, there is a spot where all 3 hardlines rub up against a header tube; NOT good..... Sigh, gonna be busy........- Ronno6
