Hi

1984 GMC truck

What piece(s) am I missing to have my steering wheel cover to stay in place?
see pics

The "teeth" don't have anything to grab onto. truck doesn't sell original steering wheels, so I can't see what I am missing.

Any help is appreciated.

85 K10 383 Vortec Stroker - Converting to Atomic EFI - Fuel delivery questions:

I in unfamiliar territory here. I've eliminated my mechanical fuel pump and am trying to determine the best way to get fuel delivered. The options I'm aware of are:

1. Keep my original tanks but add an in-tank fuel pump that goes to a sump that then goes to the fuel rail/tbi unit

2. Get new tanks/pumps that are designed for EFI conversions

what other options are out there? im sure im missing something. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
