    Headers not hot on 2 and 8

    What could be a cause of numbers 2 and 8 header pipes not getting hot. All other cylinders are getting over 300 degrees. 2 and 8 are only making it to around 114 degrees. Compression in all cylinders is 135-145 psi. When I put the timing light clip on the spark plug wires it flashes so I assume...

    Timing issues

    I have a gm crate motor in my 79 c10. When I set the timing and it runs nice and smooth it cranks over really slow and don't start, I figure too advanced (if I remember, at this setting it is at about 2 dbtdc). So I set it at 12 dbtdc and it turns over and starts easy but runs rough like the...

    no power to anything in cab

    79 c10. I have no power to the headlight switch, wiper switch, blower motor. I have zero exterior lights. The only thing my truck will do is start and run. I've been searching the forum and googling without much luck. Is there a fusible link for all these? If so where is it located, at that...

    no fluid to right caliper

    I know the proportioning valve balances the fluid front to back but can a bad valve block fluid to right front caliper? Fluid gets to the rears. Master cylinder leaked and I replaced it.

    problem getting 350 started

    Can I get some of your thoughts please? it's been a looong time since I've messed with a carb motor but here we go. Motor turns over (slowly, maybe half of what it should be), gets fuel and spark but does not start or really even spit and sputter. Motor is a stock GM crate motor...

    Junk cab

    I love it when you start getting a game plan together and realize the cab floor support channels need replaced (note the angle iron, no bolts into the cab on one of them) and you also wonder what other hack jobs have been done to it :wtf2:. Has anyone replaced floor support channels? Should I...

    brace cab for removal

    I was thinking about removing my cab and media blast it to see what i'm working with. It has been repainted and am sure some body work has been done but no clue to what extent. Would bracing the cab to remove be a good idea or is it only a good idea if doing actual repairs?

    I picked these parts up today from an old salvage yard that closed down and was recently sold. The vehicles are all gone but the parts were stored in a pole barn. I'm looking at getting a lot more of the headlight bezels. I'm just waiting on the guy to get back with me. If anyone is interested...

    Motor to chassis ground

    I removed the running 305 and installed a 350 in my 79 c10. Now when I turn the key I have absolutely nothing. I need to do more diagnosis on it but I ran out of time tonight. Question is...will a missing motor to chassis ground cause a dead circuit? Right now i'm making sure battery is fully...

    79 c10 trans line pics or info

    My 79 didn't come with transmission cooler lines. I ordered pre-bent lines and am unsure how they are routed. Do they route under the motor between the motor mounts? A detailed pic or 3 would be appreciated. I did search and googled with no luck. Thanks.

    what is this plug?

    My crate motor has a distributor in it with this plug but the truck harness does not have the other end. Am I going to have to use a distributor without this plug?

    I've done some reading and not really finding a good answer for my situation. I bought a crate 350 hooked to a remanufactured th350 for my 79, 2 wheel drive short bed if it matters. I found out the th350 is really a 700r4. I'd like to use the reman 700r4. I've done some reading and some say to...

    The 79 I just got had been sitting for 2 1/2 years and will not run without pouring gas in carb. I was told it was running about a year ago.
