    Starter & back window question

    Forum lurker here with a totally random question! I recently got a new truck (blazer) and am in love with it, definitely my dream truck. I noticed that it does not have the classic GM/Chev starter sound from that era, it sounds more like a Dodge starter. This has piqued my curiosity as I...

    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.

New cables. It will do it even when the battery is freshly fully charged. Timing is good. Took the...

    350 SBC Headers

    To my understanding, if you get headers for a small block you normally have to do something with the starter (get a smaller one) in order to actually fit headers onto your 350. If this myth is true, are there any good headers out there that i can get for the small block without having to...

    Bought a 1986 K10, truck died while driving today.

    Hey folks, just bought my first square body truck and joined the forum. I'm 17 and also have a 1978 Corvette that I have worked on quite a bit so I have a decent understanding of 350 small blocks and decent idea of how to diagnose issues. Today as I was driving the truck, it died on me. After...

    Anyone prefer the mini starters?

    i see these all over the place and might have to put a new starter in soonish. what is different about these other than the fact they don't weigh 200 pounds.
