Front brakes still locked up

Views: 88 | Comments: 8

Hello all,

Having an issue with front brakes getting locked up after pushing the pedal down a couple times. The pressure won’t release. I replaced the calipers and the rubber lines. Already but the problem remains. I’ve also blocked the proportioning valve with a tool that keeps the valve in the middle for bleeding the system so the valve shouldn’t be moving and blocking the front for the pressure to release. Any ideas? Got new calipers from oriley and there aren’t any leaks in the system.

Edelbrock Carb help needed

My 67 with this carb pictured runs good once it is started. Within the last year it refuses to start unless you squirt a little gas down it. Would this indicate a bad accelerator pump? This is my first Edelbrock on anything.

Temporary Fuel Tank/Setup

September 04, 2024, 07:26:09 PM by cwilson jr | Views: 239 | Comments: 2

My 85 K10s driver's side under cab mounted tank leaks. I have no plans on doing anything with the truck at the moment, but do move it occasionally and wish not to dump fuel into it everytime I want to move it, AND have excess stream out.

Is there a setup with a small portable tank someone has used successfully before? mount/ placed location? Do I need an electric pump, or any switches ot anything?

I'm looking for the simplest method, WITHOUT screwing with the existing rotted tank.

Unlock Steering Wheel

August 28, 2024, 08:59:25 PM by cwilson jr | Views: 838 | Comments: 5

I misplaced the keys to my 85 K10. the steering column was replaced years ago so I can't have a key made from the VIN, so I temporarily dropped the ignition switch to start, but now have to have a way to steer. I'm not sure what I'm doing with the truck yet, but it has to move within a week.

If I drill the cylinder, will that free the steering, or will that destroy the cylinder for nothing, where I couldn't even get a locksmith to create one from the existing lock cylinder, which I personally am not going to replace at this time.

Any ideas how I can free the steering wheel?

Hey all,

I'm making progress on getting my LS swap done. I need to install my secondary Transmission Cooler (planning on towing). Do any of ya'll have pictures of how you installed yours? I'm looking for ideas.

Thanks in advance!
