    Where to buy a replacement Y-pipe from

    Hello, I need a new exhaust y-pipe and I can't find any places that have a direct replacement in stock. After checking the usual suspects I clicked down the links on the first two pages of google without finding any random websites that have it. I'm after a 4wd SBC y-pipe, Walker #40412 or AP...

    Pricing on Engines

    Hello, I'm in need of a 350, and junkyards around here don't keep things older than 20 years so I've been looking at stuff on Craigslist and Facebook for a while and just saw a listing that listing that caught my eye but I'd like to get others opinions because I don't know how to value used...

    Starter runs w/o solenoid in truck, not on ground

    Hello I've got a problem that's got me stumped. My starter will work perfectly normal testing it on a table, but you put it in the truck and even without the signal wire connected, just the main power connected, as soon as you reconnect the ground the motor wants to run. It's not even engaging...

    What happened to all the S10's

    Was thinking earlier, 10 or 15 years ago those little S10 pickups were everywhere, people would 350 swap them all the time. Then it's like they all vanished from the roads and marketplaces and I see 10 square bodies for every S10 now. Did they have a lot of spots to catch road junk and rust out...

    700r4 TV cable adjustment check

    Hello. I put a new carb on recently, got the proper mounting and geometry bracket and I'm setting the TV cable. I watched a decent amount of videos but I'd hate to burn up my trans so I thought I'd ask, I've got it set so that max throw of the TV cable is set to maximum throttle which seems like...

    Inline fuse in place of fusible link @ junction block pops 40amp fuses

    Hello. Got this '86 305 truck a couple weeks ago and am sorting through its problems. I've got 2 wires coming off the junction box near the master cylinder, both with home made splices on them. One is a constant power wire coming from the loom behind the engine, hooked to starter I think. The...

    New (to me) carb, way way too rich

    Hey guys, I put a 650 cfm Holley 1850-2 on my 305 'cause thats what I had to replace a feedback quad. It's running incredibly black smoke rich though. I know it's a little bigger than ideal but this is an eye scorching situation. It's got 1 metering block with #66 jets right now, single pump...

    New truck, trying to understand its molestation - carb/intake

    Hello. I bought an 86 Sierra 1500 with a 305 and a quadrajet just this past weekend and was investigating an automatic choke problem it has when I noticed the carb only has the front 2 bolts holding it down and the other the 2 rear holes don't line up to the intake. It is miserably cold outside...
