OK - I rebuilt my heater, but I still get some heated air through the heater, even though the flap on my 65's deLuxe heater shuts quite well.

I am wondering -

Can I install a diverter valve that will re-route the water back to the engine when I don't need it (no AC yet - so summer's gonna be pretty hot in there. No need to make it worse.)? Is there a balance of some kind that running the heated coolant through the heater core provides?

Now - if it's "OK" to do it, where do I get such a critter? I'd prefer not to have to run vacuum lines or cables to operate it - something simple.

Ideas? ]]>Wed, 15 May 2013 23:56:02 GMThttp://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/297407/http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/297407/ ]]>Tue, 14 May 2013 18:58:44 GMThttp://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/297336/http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/297336/rod to lever connection? I've always had sloppy movement in the shift lever and replaced the shift collar on the column, which made a huge difference. Would the lack of this grommet cause my shifter to drop out of reverse? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been working on it the last few days and need some advice! I tried a different carburetor tonight and the same thing. It would sporadically fire for a few seconds/run at 1/2 speed/ flood the carb, etc. It did run (both carb) for 10 seconds here and there but at 1/2 the normal rpm speed then if I barely touched the gas pedal it would stall. I tried putting most of the old parts back in the carb and it does the same thing basically. Now I am wondering if it is a spark problem or a fuel pump problem? or?? I am out of ideas at this point what to check/try next and i want to start cruising in my truck as soon as possible. ]]>Sat, 11 May 2013 01:06:42 GMThttp://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/297035/http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/297035/Mon, 06 May 2013 03:01:49 GMThttp://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/296997/http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/296997/. First time its been out on the open road for about 5 years. Time flies when your having fun.

We took our GPS to confirm the speedometer is accurate, which it was to my surprise. I would have figured the huge rear tires would have thrown it off a bit. All in all a good first outing.

Gearing and tires produce 2000 RPM at 50 MPH in 4th gear. Which is pretty much what I had figured.

Its an old truck with an Edelbrock intake and 4-bbl carb but nothing leaks and the engine is very clean. I bought the intake manifold, carb and air cleaner from JEGS but I don't believe the carb and air cleaner were an exact fit.

This winter I had time so I made it my project to make these fit together better. I pounded part of the cleaner with a ball hammer so it would fit around the choke. I noticed the center of the air cleaner still didn't fit tight to the carb so I bought relatively thick gasket material and made a 5" round gasket. A much better seal.

This week when I drove it for the first time I noticed when I accelerated I didn't get the large sucking sound I normally heard. The truck seems to run great and a little later in the day I noticed the gas smell was gone as well.

So I thought I'd pass my experience on. Never thought a little thing like that would make that much of a difference.

Is this the right switch for this? because the holes are not lining up where it should attach down in front of the firewall, and I am guessing the the leads off of the switch going left to right are:
left-"park"
middle-"reverse"
right-"drive"?
please correct me if I'm wrong.

Here is a pic of the column just for reference.
Thanks for all your input in advance. ]]>Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:48:36 GMT
