Re: Newb to forum w/ 82 gmc C1500
So I'm guessing if the plug is black and reeks of gasoline it's probably fouled?
 Will be replacing the plugs today. Any brand/material preferences you guys have? |

Re: Newb to forum w/ 82 gmc C1500
Got it out on the road and ran it a little bit today. Seems like it's running a little warm and when I shift into 3rd and get on it it spits once and then goes. Same way every time. I'm guessing I need to tune my carb a little more?
Edit - The warmth idk. |

Re: Newb to forum w/ 82 gmc C1500
As soon as I fix the flat I just got... Grrr.
So my truck came with Hooker headers but they're pinched on the driver's side, probably from the same bottom out that broke the front drive shaft, and I'm not real thrilled about the fitment. Thinking about going back to stock headers. What do yall think about the stock headers vs. aftermarket? |

Re: Newb to forum w/ 82 gmc C1500
Additional question to whom it may concern - When I bought the truck the previous owner told me he had not checked the second fuel tank and didn't know if it leaked. I took that to mean he knew it was leaking. How do I check if it's leaking other than just putting gas in it?
