I just got the pricing back, the wheels are a 16in rim.. they priced out a $194 US. dollars. on the web.
Going to look locally if I can get them.

Installed the 94 amp alt from an 86 silverado. Internally regulated, 3 wire set up. Fixed the amp gauge too.

I installed the sound deadening insulation and started restoring the heater equiptment. I had several heaters and vent boxes to choose from so I could take the best parts of many. I sandblasted parts and applied rustmort over night. Paint it all tomorrow.

I have been upgrading my timing chain and sprockets. Its been a real pita. I've had the most problem out of the harmonic balancer installation tool than any of it. But we are almost done. Just fixing to check on the timing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Tinkered on the new C10 for a while today. Replaced the LOOOONG van-style oil filler tube with a oil cap / grommet, checked plugs / gaps, tested compression on all cylinders, and installed a squarebore carb to q-jet intake adapter (previous owner had installed edelbrock directly to the original intake). The old 350 still isn't running right, but it looks like the timing is WAY off. I think the previous owner dropped the distributor in without setting TDC on 1. It'll run, but the #1 wire has to be clear over past the normal #8 position, and the vacuum advance doesn't appear to be working well either. Probably going to hold off on any more troubleshooting until the new HEI shows up. Hopefully the new install will clear up all these little issues...

I also crawled underneath to check out the saddle tank setup. The tanks look great from underneath, but who knows what the inside looks like. The switch and saddle tank fuel lines are disconnected but all there if I decide to hook it back up. For now I might pull the new-ish tank out of my donor cab tomorrow and see how clean it is.

Spent a great day hanging out with forum members JohnOro and V-Dog.

Oh, and we swapped out the water pump on my truck. ;)

Thank you for the help and conversation. It was much appreciated!
