    So I'm trying to take my cluster out to find out why the gauges don't work. I have all the screw out BUT the metal framing seems to be holding it in. Do I need to remove the dash pad all the way? It is loose so I can wiggle it but not I'm nervous of breaking something. Thanks for the order...

    Evap box

    So I have slowly been fixing up my 85 c20. After getting it running smoothly I notice the heat isn't blowing out the vents very strong. Well my evap box (ac truck) is broke on the bottom and allowing most the my air to escape. I'm not worried about having ac so if I eliminate it I wouldn't be...

    PVC question

    I have a 85 C20 350 that I recently acquired. I noticed the PVC is not hooked up to anything currently. My understanding is the it should plug into the front of the carb (it has a edelbrock). For some stupid reason the post coming out of the carb is bent all to hell. So I guess first does...
