Rear Brakes Locking Up
i really don't have much to add but; does the '10' series truck have a valve in the rear? the one that opens up as the weight in the bed increases? if it did, and was removed, then the back gets full juice even with no weight on the wheels. my K20 4K ultra HD does and it still works properly...- WebMonkey

Did this K20 come factory with catalytic converter?
my 85 k20 has the C6P option which, as you said, put it over the threshold for 'no cats'. i don't know the specifics of the camper special though a non C6P k20, of that era, would have cats i expect. i'm no expert or even a novice at what a truck needs to pass inspection in states that require...- WebMonkey

Hard starting after sitting for a few days

Old Bedliners
i've found those hard plastic 'corrugated/channelized' liners don't trap moisture as bad as some. air can move around a little better than the rubber mat stuff that seems to accelerate the rust-out process. :) good luck 'monkey -
Rochester Quadrajet Woes
the divorced choke is a good sign it's the 'right time frame' quadrajet. my '85 uses an electric 'all on the carb' choke. i agree that not firing on ether or dribbled gas down the throat points at an ignition problem. maybe in addition to a fuel delivery issue. (my truck came with a...- WebMonkey

Rear drum spring kit
they look like back plate access hole plugs (the rectangular things) you gotta put the drums on with the brake shoes 'not expanded' then you spin the star adjuster through the access hole to get the shoes 'up close and personal' to the drums. 'monkey -

Engine Block Heater for SBC 350

Holley Retrobright radio interference solutions?
snap on ferrites are about 1/10 as effective as a single torroid with 10 'turns' through it. to further complicate, the 'mix' of the ferrite determines the frequency range it is most effective at. you'll want a mix 31 or 43 for common mode suppression up to 300mHz. on the power AND the antenna...- WebMonkey
