Monster - 1974 GMC Suburban 2500 Super Custom

[kikkegek]

Recently bought a 74 GMC Suburban 2500 Super custom...

sweet ride:

- 4" lifted
- 35 inch tires
- 2 year old crate 350 engine
- edelbrock perfformer intake
- they replaced the whole front end during the last inspection

very happy with it

some pics of it



the night we picked it up



on the road with our other 86 Suburban



very cool tag



Edelbrock SDT mufflers, sound great


they installed a later model roofconsole



it had been standing still for allmost 2 years, so replaced the transmission and engine oil and filters


they swapped the tailgate for cargo doors, but didnt swap the bottom part...doors dont shut all the way





I replaced all bulbs (all were broken) with leds, planning on putting ledstrips in there and painting the reflector and bucket gloss white like in my other Burb. but at least I can see how fast I drive at night for now



it backfired on cold starts and took for ever to crank it it the morning. checked the HEI BAT terminal and it only got 11.4V and during cranking ot dropped to 7-8V. So supercharged the HEI by wiring it to the firewall terminal through a relay.







result:
no more backfires
cold starts in 2-3 rotations of engine in the morning
stronger idle
