    oil pressure sending unit

    My oil pressure gauge isn't working. It's stuck at 60PSI. I was trying to find the sending unit and my service manual tells me it is on the left front side near the distributor. I don't see it. Shouldn't it be in the block somewhere. I take left side as drivers side of car. The truck is a...

    Engine color

    I have a 1980 K10 with a 350 in it. Today I was replacing the valve cover gaskets (they were both leaking pretty bad) and was surprised that they were painted black and had a Mr. Goodwrench sticker on them. I thought these engines were blue as my 79 Suburban is. Do I have a replacement crate...

    Gas doors

    I had to replace the gas door on my 1980 K10 and just happen to have one from a 79 K2500 Suburban. The quality of part between the 79 and 80 was more than noticeable. the 79 gas door was much heavier and was attached with bolts where the 80 gas door was a lot lighter and attached with phillips...

This is while the truck is in park and...

    Exhaust pipe nuts

    So I found all the pieces to put my 1980 K10's exhaust back to factory OEM. I removed the old dual exhaust system and am in the process of re-installing the new OEM parts. When I removed the nuts holding the exhaust pipe from the cast iron exhaust manifolds I was surprised to find that they...

    Paint codes 1980 K10.

    Any idea where I find the paint code for my 1980 K10 Silverado?? It is a metallic bronze and cream color. I picked up a few rust free doors and front fenders and want to paint them prior to installing. I will probably mock up first for alignment then remove and paint and reinstall.

    1980 K10 Exhaust

    In the process of returning my exhaust system on my 1980 K10 131.5 wheel base to stock. I pretty much have found all the components to make it work except for the intermediate pipe between the CC and the muffler. You can find this pipe for the 117.5WB truck but not for the 131.5WB. Anybody know...

    1980 ck

    I just bought a 1980 CK 1/2 ton pick up with a 350 engine. I need to change out the exhaust system. I notice that someone replaced the existing system with dual exhaust and eliminated the catalytic converter. I am going back to the stock single exhaust and will put the CC back on but I also...
