86 Silverado K10

[jdl71]

I normally hang out in the 60-66 forum but I got a hankering for another square, so I picked this up the other day. 305/700R, NP208(I assume). So far I've removed all the old man accessories except the headliner, bought a Harbor Freight vacuum pump and replaced the a/c compressor, dryer, orifice tube and got it blowing 40 degree air on a 90 degree day, changed the oil, started to chase down a possible vacuum leak or other cause for rough idling. I took the air cleaner off, looked at the M4MED and the Borg collective of vacuum hoses and tubes, and put it back on and got a wood block for the accelerator pedal.
I will dive into in the near future, but for now with the a/c on, it energizes the throttle kicker and knocks it up to fast idle. Further down the list are service the trans, then on to rust repair and paint. I'm sure I will be back shortly with some questions once I dive in to the rough idle issue. Here's some pics when she first got home:















Look at what was under that seat cover!
