    No spark!

    I initially did not have that ground wire in it because there wasn't one in the old cap. I have since replaced it to ensure that that wasn't the problem but no change. The electronic spark control box you speak of...Would that be the ignition control module? I did change that and it is an...

    No spark!

    Gas is squirting into the carb. It IS sputtering and then shutting off when the key goes to the run position. This isn't sounding good. Question about the timing...several people have said to make sure the Dizzy isn't off by a tooth or two but I have messed with it and messed with it but it will...

    No spark!

    Ok, so I have all new parts in my disty. Pick up coil, control module, rf condensor, rotor, cap and coil. All of which were bad which was indicated by melted wiring and test results. Got spark but still won't run. I know I'm getting gas. Just put a new fuel pump and clear filter. I can see it...

    Dash Speakers

    Good luck finding one. The only thing I have found is either one of the Classic ones from places like LMC that run about $300 or a real pice of crap Pyle for $20. Dual sold one through Autozone for under $30 that was a good basic Dual Post radio with tape deck and an AUX out but when I went to...

    Fix Slamming Doors - Striker Door Latch Repair

    Her is what mine looks like after 2 months with the Electrical tape treatment: A buddy at work with a nice Round Eye opened the door and said "Damn, those shut nice". I can hear his rattle across the parking lot so I told him my trick.

    Fix Slamming Doors - Striker Door Latch Repair

    Nice! I wondered about some large black tubing for sprinkler systems or something. I personally have just wrapped electrical tape to the appropriate thickness. Last a good bit but is easy enough to replace when it wears out.

    What brand of stereo equipment do you like best?

    That is perfect and they carry it in my local store! Awesome! I don't need to rattle the windows in this thing, just a little cruisin music.

    What brand of stereo equipment do you like best?

    Any suggestions? OK, so I have been looking for a stereo that I can put in my 84 c20 that will use the original space without hacking it up. I would also like to upgrade to newer tech and have the option of using my iPhone for tunes and such. It seems like there is either high end or cheap...

    Thanks for all the supportive comments everybody. My wife isn't quite so enthusiastic and it's nice to have a place like this even if just for moral support. Anyway, I guess I should move it over to the projects page now because I have done a bit to her and want to share. I really like seeing...

    I always get excited when I find an owners manual in the Glove Box! It adds to the experience for me. Maybe I'm strange but I think it's cool. Found it while cleaning all the trash out. [/IMG]

    Yea, I thought that was interesting myself. This is my first Square Body so I wasn't sure how common that is. It's got A/C that I hope to get working some day as well. I have a lot of work to just get her going right now tho.

    One Chevy helping another... Couldn't bear to tow her over with anything else. (That's my daughter Devin steering her home. She did a great job) [/IMG] Did a little electrical fixin' and when it got hot, she got a bath. Much better already! [/IMG]

    Hello all, just joined after getting my first Square Body. I picked up an 84 Scottsdale c20 on a trade for my beat up old 96 Silverado and I am excited about starting my WIP. I will be referring to your expertise here quite a bit probably. While new to the Squares, I have been messing around...
