New (old) member here, showing off my 84 Silverado SWB
Just got it about a week ago,
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d8...nger/84004.jpg Added a goodwrench front tag http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d8...nger/84005.jpg added a Lumina Steering wheel ($8.00 from pull a part),to an otherwise fairly clean stock interior.Just needs a little seat work :metal: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d8...nger/84003.jpg Cleaned and painted the stock 305 ,and added a chrome breather. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d8...nger/84001.jpg |

Nice find!!
PLEASE add a bigger air filter! You're choking the engine. You need at least a 4". A 4.5" is perfect. |
Re: New (old) member here,showing off my 84 Silverado SWB

I'm running the stock filter on my 305 and it's usually in a choke mode of some sort, but I always figured it was the carb in need of a rebuild drifting out of tune from time to time. |

[QUOTE] Yes! Here is a snap shot of a 4.5 K&N filter on my ZZ4. http://thumb13.webshots.net/t/62/562...3lVNhhX_th.jpg I used it on the previous stock 305. I learned by experience the engine would run hot with a 3" filter. Especially at highway speeds. The 4.5" was awsome to WOT. People wondered why the 305 had at least some pep to it. Tuning and having enough air to feed the engine are imporant. |

Its probably the red. I know some people don't want red, but few can argue how good its looks when shiney. |

But my question is, if you compare the volume or air allowed on the aftermarket 2"(?) air filter vs. pulling the air through the stock air cleaner housing (oblong 4" wide opening), wouldn't it be less restrictive? Even if the filter itself is 4" tall it can only pull so much air. Right? To the original poster, NICE TRUCK! Even if the paint job might not be the best, I bet it looks great from 10 feet. And 99% of the time thats all you need. |
Re: New (old) member here,showing off my 84 Silverado SWB
like the steering wheel idea. does it bolt right on ? been looking at the sport steering wheels on ebay (88-96) i think. your truck is beautiful great steal!
|
Re: New (old) member here,showing off my 84 Silverado SWB
Yes thats one sweet looking ride for sure. I like it. Other then some different rims I would keep it like that.

Re: New (old) member here,showing off my 84 Silverado SWB

Re: New (old) member here,showing off my 84 Silverado SWB
Huh that is the grille my truck is supposed to have sweet. I like it I might go with the later ones though, because I have the dual headlight bezels for the later ones.
