    Where to get quadrajet rebuilt?

    Many years ago I dug in & learned the zen of just how Quadrajets work and their common issues. I never considered jobbing out something that you could learn & do yourself. No dealing with getting screwed. No question about what was done & good insight to any remaining issue. It’s called a man...

    Stuck Hood

    If the hood springs are worn you may need to push the hood forward. Easy to do w/ a couple lengths of wood. Try 2x4.

    Best Flowmaster

    I like it, a lot depends on the length of the tail pipes. A better version would include a lumpy cam

    Best Flowmaster

    Been running 40’s forever. To avoid drone run em straight back & tip down. They bark & growl, but don’t drone.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Pulled & parked the plow off the K20. Officially called the season. Impressed w/ the way Rustoleum Massey Ferguson grey held up for the winter. Filled the temporary tank w/ 90 octane non ethanol & she seems to like it.

    Got me puzzled to say the least

    What was the last thing done to the truck prior to the noise appearing?

    Got me puzzled to say the least

    Pull all belts, alt, AC & try to duplicate. Shouldn’t have any heat shields that are notorious for rattle at specific rpms. Might have a partially collapsed muffler that would account for it.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    Story today about a beloved 57 Belair stolen in Az. They cased the owners routine, unlocked his gates & winched up on a roll back. Neighbor got the truck on camera. Nothing you can do if they are determined pros. Best is a cheap hidden phone that you or cops can locate.

    I just bought a John Deere tractor!

    If you hook onto anything that acts like it does not want to move, do not give it more throttle. There’s no ROP on these old guys & the front could come up over your head, but it wont stop there.

    Traction Aid for 77 K10

    Somewhat downsized from tractor pull sleds, but the concept is the same. I built a roll in 400# weight sled for severe winter driving. Rolls in from my highway vehicle to my plow truck depending on which needs it. Locks in place w/ a bolt to a nut plate below the bed. An empty PU is at a huge...

    Like a Rock

    They’re known as wax motors. Reliability is zero. They even use them to lock washing machine doors. They fail there also. That group of engineers should be fired.

    350 turbo with 203. I want to keep my 350 turbo and get a 205 behind it? Please help.

    Clue me in! I see the 205 is the preferred xfer case on this forum. Outside of an easy offset repair kit for a stretched 203 chain why go to all the hassle?

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    Here’s a couple details. Used 2 EMT 3/4 couplings tack welded to a stud to slip over the htr. hoses. Keeps em tidy. High temp epoxy to mate the hoses into 3/4 copper reducers Going to htr. Detest garden hose clamps! Upper & lower radiator hoses have oil field band clamps. Last pic was prior to...

    How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

    Stock 74 k20 w/ 350. Compared to almost anything else there’s not a lot of bay clutter in these trucks. That said I’ve gone to great lengths on my 55 to minimize every connective run including hoses. Biggest benefit was to custom rewire and bundle heater hoses and wires under the inner fender...

    Rear wheel drive with NP-203?

    There’s just something about chain drive that seems Neanderthal! I like it! I use it!

    Unusual radio issue

    Some if us are so old we don’t recall particulars. But, the thing that popped into my head was an alternator issue causing this. Bad blocking diode and battery is feeding the radio thru charging circuit. Next time the radio stays on unplug the alt. See if that kills the radio.

    Chevy Replacement Grill with 350 emblem option

    My 74 still had a good 350 emblem. The Chevy not so good. Filled in w/ diamond plate.

    Horn has no power

    Heres a break out of the items under your horn button. Recently went thru this. Item 11 contains the spring loaded actuator to ground. It also cancels the turn signals. While Summit Racing has this & says compatible, it is not. Wrong inside diameter and too shallow to get the shaft clip back...
