    Timing for stock 350?

    Can't find any info in my book on how much timing for a stock 350. Been watching videos and come up with between 8-12*BTDC. Can anyone confirm how much exactly? 84 350 C20, TH350, Fed Emission

    Blower motor inop

    Alright so if I put 12v to any of the contacts on the switch itself (with pigtail plugged in) the switch works for all 4 speeds. I'm just guessing here but it seems like the switch is operating and I'm just not getting power to the switch?

    Blower motor inop

    Gonna test the switch and resistor tomorrow. If I end up needing a new blower I'm going to do the GMT400 upgrade.

    Blower motor inop

    Hot lead to the plug does operate it. Sounds like junk but it moves.

    Custom Half doors and removable window skins

    If you do make half doors, you can use some 1/4" round and make a window frame. Personally I would just throw some lexan/plexiglass on top of it instead of trying to make a zipped plastic window.

    Blower motor inop

    Fuse looked good. Tested good. Put in a new fuse anyway but no change.

    Blower motor inop

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    You're gonna dislike the rest of the plans then. Gonna do 1 ton springs but pull a few leafs and cut a coil off. Would like to drop it about 2". Eventually it will go on air but for now it's all on the cheap. Mini update, got the new pigtail wired in (ACD #PT254) and window works great. They...

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    I had a 01 Metro 4cyl and a 91 Metro 3cyl. Both were only $100. Fixed a few small things and flipped them. Think I had about $250 in the 01 and sold it for $1200. The 91 I had about $180 in and sold it for $750. It's amazing what people will overlook when the paint looks good.

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    [Previous Update] [Next Update] Small Update 05/04/2019 Got the wheels and tires mounted on the truck yesterday. Before And After Also found out why the passenger window doesn't work. The pigtail on the switch is missing 3 of the 5 wires. All broken off at the connector. Picking up a new...

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    Haha. I'm a little behind today I guess. And yeah, not a bad score. 16x8 with -5mm offset (4.3" backspacking). I was actually looking at similar wheels last night, minus the weird lip/fake-lock.

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    [Previous Update] [Next Update] Misc Update 05/02/2019 Busy day today. Yesterday I found out I have no dash lights, no brake lights, no tail lights, no turn signals. All that has been fixed (ground issue). On top of that, the passenger window motor is shot and so is the wiper motor. No blower...

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    I actually met Farmtruck and AZN when they were up here at Wagler Competition getting their hearse built. I guess Farmtruck is related to Jeremy Wagler somewhere down the line. They're pretty cool guys. I never knew they were running 6-7. And that's in their 'heavy'/not-a-pro-mod car. Damn. I...

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    That was my whole thought behind nabbing the C20. Everyone puts a beefy axle under their street machine. As far as I know, the key differences between the C10 and C20 were: axle, suspension, frame. A thicker frame just means it won't twist from all the power, a few leafs could be pulled for ride...

    "Cheap C20" build thread

    Hi all. I wanted to start a build thread for my Cheap C20. Still don't have a good name for it but that will come with time. I'll keep an index on here of all things done to it with as many photos as possible for any others trying to do the same. I just picked this thing up today. I traded my...

    Setup for street and towing?

    Thanks! Happy to be here. Been wanting a Carb V8 RWD platform to have some fun with for a while. Never had anything carb and can't wait to learn about them.

    Setup for street and towing?

    Picking up an 84 C20 with a 350 in it this weekend. I'd like to be able to have fun with it on the street and be able to pull my car trailer. What kind of suspension setup should I be looking at here? C10 leafs? or just pull a few from the C20 pack?
