    Edelbrock 1405 carb running rich

    I have a 1978 Chevrolet K10 with what appears a bone stock 350. It originally has a quadrajet carb that severely needed rebuilt. I bought the truck non running with the carb sitting inside the truck so it might have not even been original. I had to set the timing to tdc because it wouldn’t run...

    78 k10 starter problem

    I’ve got a 78 k10 bonanza and the starter has given me hell. Most of the time it works fine but sometimes it will be turning over and clunk and disengage. I’ve tried different shims. Could it be timing? Flywheel destroyed? The truck sat for over 10 years before I bought it non running.

    Clunking noise on start up

    Installed a new 355 I built into my k10 this weekend. Got everything wired up and went to start it and it begins to crank but then will make a loud clunking noise. It will then start to turn over again and do it again. Pulled the starter and checked to make sure it was mating with the flywheel...

    Aluminum Silverado wheels

    I scooped a set of factory aluminum wheels for my 87 Silverado. I thought I could just steel wool them and they’d polish up, but that’s hasn’t been the case. These wheels have little ridges in them and I think what I initially thought was grime may be scratches. Any suggestions on how to bring...
