Just saying Hi; new truck owner.
As of today I bought a 1967 Chevy C/10 Stepside for the large amount of 200 dollars. It has a straight 6, manual everything, and 3 spd converted to floor shift. Has a few questions to start;
1. Can I use a late 70's HEI 6cyl distributer in this engine? If so what else do I have to change? 2. Is it legal to turn the exhaust out to before the rear wheels? It leaks right around the axle and i dont want to have a whole exhaust put on. 3. What the heck is my shift pattern? It didnt seem to care what gear I started in, but I cant tell which gear is first. 4. What are some catalogs that I should order (must be free) Thanks, I'll post a picture soon

Welcome from Connecticut! In Ct the exhaust must extend behind cab 18" and if you register the truck as a camper it has to exit past the rear wheels. Engine oil change should take 5 qts with filter.

When you wire up your HEI ignition, you'll need to run a new power wire for the coil. Don't use the power from your old coil, it is only about 6 to 8 volts. Just runa wire from the IGN UNFUSED terminal on your fuse box, and run it to the COIL connection on your cap.
Welcome from Ohio. Oh, and PushinPebbles, real funny... Don't listen to PushinPebbles...he don't know what he's talking about. (heh heh heh) Just messin. ![]() |

It's been a long time, but PA was real stick about modifing vehicle exhausts. I'd check with a local inspoection station before I ran it before the real wheels. Some of the others board members who are still in PA could tell you more than I can though. I know the fines were pretty stiff for violations and I wouldn't want the hassle.
Check first.

Sounds like you've got a similar truck to my 72 C/10. Its got a later model 250 six installed with the 3 on the tree behind it.
Sounds like your shift rods are crossed up. I've never tried starting off in second gear but I guess its possible . ![]()

Start off in 2nd? hell i started out in 3rd and the truck didnt seem to care. It needs a tune-up bad, some fool put autolites in... oh about 20 years ago and they are still in there. I just noticed the lack of a harmonic balancer, how do I set the timing on this crazy thing? Oh, and my engine block has the number 282 or 292 on it, does that help to figure out what engine I have?
