Re: Got myself a 79 2wd k5.

Been doing a lot of work on the k5 over the past few days.

Got the timing all sorted out which made a massive difference. There was absolutely no timing advance. The vacuum can was shot and the weights had no bushings and were locked into place. The springs were also busted.

I replaced all that stuff. And got a curve kit to dial everything in.

When I did that I put a new msd cap, rotor and wires.

The truck is running absolutely awesome at the moment.

I added a tach and just got an oldschool grant wheel for it.

Got some more work done on the k5.

Got myself some 87 burban doors with power locks/windows. Got the wiring figured out just have to route the harness.

Also got an efan installed. I just have to do the wiring which shouldn't be difficult.





I also took her on a 2 hour trip and she did wonderfully. Absolutely no issues.

Do you mind advising what size tires and width rims you are running? They look good.
