Exhaust / Header recommendations for 305

« Last post by Rough75C20 on June 08, 2025, 02:40:16 pm »

Hello,

Looking into headers for my 305. Any recommendations? Currently looking at headers from summit racing and jegs. I’ve read to stay with a little smaller diameter for clearance issues. Would like to buy a set that I don’t have to beat with a hammer too much to get to fit. Current setup is a 75 2wd c20 with a 305 out of an 86. Would like to stay under 500 dollars if possible. Would like to keep the temp sensor in the side of the block on the drivers side which I’ve read have had clearance issues in the past. Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you

Hey Zeig,

Sounds you're using the RF input on the TV as the source video, with audio back to your receiver? Or do you use outboard video sources, i.e. AppleTV, Cable or Satellite?

The BT device sends stereo, so will not deliver any surround sound encoded in the program.

Your 5.1 receiver most likely has a coaxial and/or optical input for multi channel playback. If only coaxial, there are optical to coaxial converters. Look for Vanco for options.

VZ's suggestion is a great solution, I will use it on car/truck applications. Thanks VZ!

Thanks.  This is the last bit of rust so I should be able to put the welder and grinder away now.

Hey all, I'm helping a buddy of mine fix his 1990 C1500

It was his truck in high school/college but had been sitting for like 20 years and he's wanting to get it going again.

The previous owner had done some sound system and alarm "upgrades" and he's having issues with it staying running. I don't know if it's the wiring or not but given how crappy of a job the guy did on the harnesses I'd like to investigate

Anybody know of a good site with wiring distance for the OBS? thanks!

Depending on what you have for tools you can make anything but if you are using the stock TBI pump, get this style adapter and use the AN fittings. You can buy everything you need from Evil Energy including lines, filters, fittings adapters etc. If you look on Amazon there are kits as well.

Here is an example of a Blazer TBI sending unit converted to push lock fittings.
