Re: 1981_c10 Step-Side

Well, the carb rebuild was a fail.

After tearing it apart, I broke 3 of the 4 butterfly screws...i guess I should have left those in. I tried drilling out the broken screws and trapping, but I just stripped the tap. aka that all = money down the drain.

So, I went to nationalcarbuerator.com and purchased a rebuilt 2 bbl for $138!!!! It came in the mail (free shipping) the next week. I go to install it last night to find out the base plate is missing the port in the back to hook up to my brakes.

Waiting to hear backfrom the company to send me a new one with the correct base plate.

This all teaches us patience.

I am hoping to work on the 1962 c10 this weekend while I wait. I will be starting the tear down of the body as well as rebuilding the heads (block is already finished). Wish me luck!
