I'm still going through the 86 C10 I picked up a couple of weeks ago.I lost count of the bulbs I've replaced.Painted the cluster housing silver while apart.Replaced leaking valve cover gaskets.That turned into a major affair.The vacuum harness was brittle and crumbled.So the air pump and stuff are now resting in a box.I did find a mess when I lifted the valve covers.Seams the missed a couple of oil changes through the yaers.So VERY carefully with a 1 gal shop vac.Clean as much as I dared.Changed oil.I'll change oil & filter again in 500 miles.Then 1500 miles.But I'll be dropping the pan in the future anyway to replace the rear main.Next on the list is getting a different carb and possibly intake.Don't need this feedback unit.And exhaust.
