hello,
My family bought an ex-Texaco-oil 1984 3/4 ton 2wd fed smog m-code 350 8600lb Scottsdale suburban in 1989-1990 here in placer county. It has always passed the every other year fed smog...it has been non optd and parked for a few years. After 350,000 original miles without the carb or valve covers being off it finally is done-at least the top end. It possibly has a crack in the block as well. I have recently inherited this gem of a truck and want to get it going again. After failing smog a few years back I now have to go to the ref. So what can I put in it? It is here in placer county it is a fed smog no cat 8600 lb truck. Maybe tow a trailer here or there mainly cruising. What do you believe would work where the ref would pass it? This truck has a lot of sentimental value to me seeing as how my mother has recently passed and used to drive me and my siblings in it everywhere. Thank you in advance-Nick
