    Replace the filter stone in the carburetor inlet and see if that doesn't clear it up.

    Chevy Lean

    Sounds like the driver side springs are sagging, after 30 years I bet they're tired. There was a family in my neighborhood growing up that were all LARGE folks, all their cars sagged to the left. The mom drove a school bus and even the bus eventually sagged to the drivers side.

    Clocking steering wheel

    The steering wheel can definitely be put back in misaligned, the splined shaft rotates independantly but if the wheels were straight when you pulled the steering wheel didn't get moved until you reinstalled it and you put it back in straight you should be good but if the wheels were crooked and...

    I say if you have the skills to make it happen, go for it! It will definitely be unique.

    Power windows and locks, Rusty Ground Buss

    Bad grounds account for 90% of electrical problems, at least that's my experience.

    OEM shark fin antenna installed on a squarebody?

    My truck came with a factory overhead console so hiding the lead should be no issue. I added the xm the other day using the supplied magnetic antenna stuck bto my cowl for now. Getting ready to respray the roof and hood soon/ I'll wait untill I'm ready to paint before I notch the roof so I...

    Newbie trying to park this thing

    Just be grateful you aren't trying to manuvere an old Ferd truck, GM's trucks turn circles inside them

    Problem with starting

    Check the ground wires between the battery and the chassis and engine to chassis too. Especially the small wire from the negative cable to the body

    Gen V big block valvetrain

    Then the cam listed in the article won't work for you, gen 5 upgrades are pretty limited by the stock configuration. This build got pretty good results but they did a full rebuild and bumped up compresion to do it. http://www.cpgnation.com/power-for-peanuts-gen-v-big-block-power/ This site...

    Gen V big block valvetrain

    I think the rotating assemblies about the same on the base engines so you'll still be limited on how much lift to run I think the biggest difference you'll have is which lifters to run. Gen 6 is factory roller but don't gen 5's still need retro-fit rollers?

    Gen V big block valvetrain

    This series from Super Chevy deals with a L29, I didn't link the earlier one where the dumped the TBI for a carb because this is the one which deals with a cam swap but if you search for Super Chevy Big Hero BBC you can read the rest. All in all a pretty good read...

    Mixing bowl air cleaner transition piece for TBI

    That Engine Masters episode was great but I think the salad bowl was actually 2nd place. It was just a salad bowl with an open element lid on top. 1st place iirc was a 4 or 5 inch open element air cleaner with an open element lid. Their point was that your engine really wants to pull air down...

    EFI Swap...I need advice

    The EP381 is a 190LPH pump, good to a little over 300HP and fine for most stock applications but can pretty quickly become marginal at best with further engine mods. I used the 255LPH pump on the fuel injection conversions I have done for my 84 Hurst Olds and the one I bought for the Sniper...

    EFI Swap...I need advice

    The tank in my 91 Suburban is set up for fuel injection and 31 gallons and there's also one that's 40 gallons. It also sits between the frame rail where your spare would be. TPI doesn't require the same presure as the Sniper so you'll need to upgrade the in ank pumps but you can get a walbro in...

    2wd lift.

    Yeah, the front tires are a little over 33 inches and need about an inch more clearance. They rub at the front and rear edges on some corners and will sometimes bottom out at the top if I go through a dip or over a whoop too fast. I haven't trimmed or rolled the lips yet even though I have a...

    Aries Step Bars / Nerf Bars

    I think they will always give a little, there's little to no triangulation of the mounting poiints and the mounting plate it bolts to is only 3/16's material in the rear. I think a gusset welded along the lower rear brace to the bottom of the mounting bracket would help. Replacing the rubber...

    Aries Step Bars / Nerf Bars

    Thanks, I'll look for the invoice but I really can't recommend these unless you are prepared for some major rework of the mounting brackets here are some pics of the mods I had to do to get it to fit. The first shot shows where I actually had to cut a slot in the front leaf spring mount in order...

    2wd lift.

    Going through this same scenario with my 91 R2500, ironically I'd just installed air lift springs on the 2012 Sierra 1/2 ton it's replacing. The half ton handled the weight of my enclosed car hauler just fine but the 5.3 needed more torque to handle the hills. Before spending another $400 on...

    Aries Step Bars / Nerf Bars

    Just spent lterally 3 days completely refabricating every bracket so they would fit my frame as designed then lengthening the holes in the brackets so the bars would mount to them. They now look and fit like they should but NOT something you can just knock out in an afternoon. I would have...
