Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

I couldn't get the Burb started after it sat for the winter and I traced it to the Carb. After I took the Carb apart and cleaned it she started up. It was the first time I took apart an Edelbrock Carb, it was very easy to do.

I need to do that with one or more of mine. I have a new kit for one of them so I need to just do it. Thanks for the report.....

I'm going to start using a fuel stabilizer called Star Tron from now when I store it for the winter.

Ive heard good things about Star Tron.
I had been running the Lucas stabilizer in my Nova but still had problems. This was with starting it every 3 weeks. In Lucas's defense, I suspect the last tank of 92 I bought was probably not the freshest.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

My door handle broke and I fixed it...

Fixed my turn signals and hazards turns out it was a few things.

Bad flashers, the brown wire for the turn signals has been poorly patched at one point and was loose and the hazard button was sticking and wouldn't pop back out causing the turn signals to not work...

Fixed all that and been driving it to the store and around town. Really enjoying it and ironing out all the little things that keep coming up as expected for a truck that hasn't drove on public roads in a few decades.

Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

Been cleaning and prepping the engine to be painted chevy engine orange.

Detailing the engine, etc

Its been driving me nuts that the engine was blue even though its an original 327 (was rebuilt in the 70s and painted orange.

That's what I was thinking. That Suburban must have been stored indoors it's whole life.

Is that a decal? I have an 80# gauge and a vacuum gauge in a tach dash that could stand being freshened up.

Thanks,
