    Driving K20 without the rear driveshaft?

    I'll see what I can do, there. Honestly leaning towards just replacing the known bad u-joint and seeing if that fixes everything. That said... the u-joint is being a total PITA. Pressed it out on one side, removed the cover, starting trying to press it the other way and I guess it wasn't...

    Driving K20 without the rear driveshaft?

    I'm asking because I'm not sure. For example, I don't know if that rear seal on the transfer case is basically just a dust seal and no fluid was supposed to come out when removing the driveshaft. I thought MAYBE an internal seal beyond that had failed and had a lot of fluid where fluid...

    Quadrajet Choke and Fast Idle Linkages

    I took way too long to update this! So my choke wasn't rotated the correct way, hence why the levers and such were just flopping all over the place with no tension on them. I rotated the choke to the original position from my pictures and everything immediately worked semi-properly. I suspect...

    Driving K20 without the rear driveshaft?

    I'm trying to trouble shoot a driveline intermittent groaning noise starting to get loud around 55-60 mph. My plan was to remove the rear driveshaft, put it in 4wd, then essentially drive it as a front wheel drive vehicle at around 65 mph just to check if the noise went away. Hopefully the...

    Quadrajet Choke and Fast Idle Linkages

    Nice, thank you! I'll try some of this hopefully tomorrow if I have time. Right now all of the green lever and the AJ tab and everything there just drops down fully clockwise and never raises up. With the engine off if I give it some "throttle" it will unlock and come up all the way if I'm...

    Quadrajet Choke and Fast Idle Linkages

    I'll check more of this when I work on it some more, hopefully tomorrow. But it's hard to know when I'll get time. I really need to figure out the driveline vibration as the most critical thing first. It doesn't feel like anything pulls those fast idle cams upwards at any point. Everything...

    Quadrajet Choke and Fast Idle Linkages

    Thank you for the picture! What is the front pull-off contacting in that picture? Mine isn't touching anything at any point. Looks like your rear vacuum break is brand new. Do you have a part number for that? The replacement one I got from RockAuto only has one location for the linkage, not...

    Quadrajet Choke and Fast Idle Linkages

    I just rebuilt my '82 K20 Suburban carb and the fast idle doesn't appear to be working. I tried to start the truck in the cold weather by pushing the throttle to the floor and then slowly releasing it, then cranking. But it just cranks and cranks. I have to pump the gas while cranking to get...

    Front Fender Well Inspection Covers?

    I'm working on mine at the moment as well. Bolts removed and I've been trying to pry them out. I thought maybe it was an access panel to get in behind it to knock things out. I found it thinking it was maybe where the cowl drains out and one of the places I'd have to open to unclog it since...
