    Gas Tank Baffles?

    I have a problem when going up a steep hill. The engine quits due to a lack of fuel. I have rebuilt the carb and the fuel pressure is good when on a level grade.

    The tailgate on my 78 K5 is extremely heavy and closing it is a real effort. I am a former powerlifter and I really struggle with it.

    Hi, I've been away for a while but I am becoming active again. I have a 78 K5 with a 383 stroker, 4L60 and 4:56 gears 35" tires. I've been working to get it dialed in and have posted a question in the carb section. I'm sure there will be more.

    Car Stalls Going Downhill

    I have a K5 Blazer with a 383 stroker. The carb is an Edelbrock 1405, 600cfm. It has begun stalling when I go down a fairly steep hill. I have checked the floats and they seem to be correct. Is this a fuel pressure problem? Has anybody else had this problem?
