    exhaust question

    This may seem stupid but Are all the exhaust systems on the 73-87 very similar? I'm thinking of buying a system for my 81. Here's the setup on LMC http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=159 For $330 shipped it's about what I can expect to pay to have a system made around here plus...

    2bbl to 4bbl adapters

    So for the time being I think I'm going to keep my 2bbl carb on my truck until I can buy a new 1406 edelbrock. I would still like to put the 4bbl intake on the truck so when I get the carb all I've gota do is bolt it on. Does anyone know where I can find an adapter plate to bolt the 2bbl to the...

The other 2 supply speakers. The truck I pulled it from it looked like one plug ran LF and LR while the other ran RF and RR...

    305 hesitation at higher throttle

    I've noticed this recently on my truck. It's way better now that I fixed vacuum leaks but 50% or more throttle my truck hesitates unless it's full throttle. It only seems to do this when driving. sitting still and revving the engine it works great so the sticky about hesitation won't do me any...

    Spongy brakes

    So my 81 has a spongy brake pedal. I drove a couple other trucks prior to this one and they were the same way. This truck was the first one I drove with an alum/plastic master. Rest had solid cast ones. So far I've changed the black brake fluid and bled the brakes along with replacing leaky rear...
