Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Adjusted the electric choke and dialed in the mixture screws. Found out they were not adjusted the same as recommended in the Holley manual and adjusted off a bit too.
Truck runs better, but still has a bit of a stumble when idling the truck down a street and trying to step on it. Not always there but it bugs me. I may bump the timing back up as I have it at 12 and find it cranks way more before it starts, but up at 14-16 it fires right up. Used to be 20 and ran good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
removed the original Manual transmission mount. removed rusted drip rails from the cab, and removed some wheel locks from the wheels-without a key. Good pair of vise grips and a small sledge did the job

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I made a gas cap. Well, I made it look a lil bit better. the gas cap i had was all chewed up and broken, so I decided to spruce it up a bit. I took an old glass door knob and drilled out the brass and threaded it to fit a bolt from the bolt bin. Then, i punched the guts out of the old cap. Jammed the knob into the cap and tightened the bolt down. Not super technical, but I think it looks cool.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
It's at 16 now, adjusted the idle mixture ( was not adjusted properly) and adjusted the electric choke. So far so good. Haven't had much time to "test" it much the last few days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Had the oil Changed, 4 Tranny Leaks fixed, Rear Tranny Tailshaft Seal replaced,and the Carb Rebuilt. Next week it goes into the shop to have the Lokar Billet Aluminum Gas Pedal and Throttle Cable installed.
Hopefully over the Summer I'm having a Satin Black paint put on it, as what it has right now, is just a Generic Bumper Coat with no UV protection. I take a Layer off of it, each time I wash itr. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Slowly getting the 69 GMC K/1500 tore apart to get it down to a bare frame then replace back half of frame and fix everything thats wrong and get it painted and ready for my 72 Cab and the bed and front end and 327 out of my 67. It's amazing what you can come up with when you have alot of parts and no money!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The whole parking outside with the truck is bugging me so I picked up a truck cover today. Can't afford a garage this year but it's coming.
