Re: 1973 K10 Wilderness Camper Build... time to update

Then I had starting and running issues in 2013-14 ish.
Had the quadrajet rebuilt... made it worse...
Replaced it with an Edelbrock... not much better.
Parked it while I was working on other stuff...

Now i am back on it, and focused.

Core of the truck is good...
The plan is to cure all of its issues, and get it back to my original desire...
A capable, reliable and fun Overlander/Widerness Camper.

The 4 bolt 350 Motor was rebuilt 20 years ago, and is still good with maybe 15-20k miles on it.
Compression is good @160psi +- 10 across all 8.

EFI seemed to be the way forward.
I originally thought Id do a TBI conversion, had a complete GM TBI setup on hand... but realized they all need rebuilding and the cost got silly...
So I bought a Holley Sniper EFI kit.

Pulled off the Edelbrock Performer Intake, media blasted, and painted it as it refused to look nice bare.
Added a spacer as I read they smooth out the running and add torque.
