My new 84 Chevy K10

[transportjock]

And a rough build list
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao8zem9_-szsdDdmelg2TmllMVh2OGUxcU1kRWdUa3c&usp=sharing

Just don't have any kind of camper on it or much interior mods. Same with some of the OEM replacement parts. This is gonna be a slow build.

Man that's gonna be a fun build

Noticed on your spreadsheet you had Cerullo seats,consider the new seat upholstery from LMC,I used it on a '77 GMC I had and it worked great.The seat currently resides in my son's '69 Chevy.

Want a little more performance from that 454?Advance the timing 4* more or so,I have my current 454 set at that.On my old '77 I had it advanced 6* more.

I looked for that in the menu on LMC and didn't see it. I'll look around a little bit
And thanks for the tips! That engine needs a tune bad, and I'll definitely try advancing the timing.

The more I think about it the more I'm tempted to swap the Quadrajet over to a TBI setup from a newer 454

I used 38-2290LL
Truck Parts and Truck Accessories.

I was having trouble with my 454 too,carb was all messed up so I bought a new Edelbrock Q'Jet from Summit,worked great

Keep the carb,much easier to work on.

Thanks for the link! And lol if I had the money for a new carb I'd be happy. I'll try rebuilding this one and go from there.

Those carbs should be a piece of cake compared to that Q-Jet.Isn't the hardest part synching them?

Pretty much. And it was a four cylinder so that made it even more fun. And that was the hardest part. I'm gonna get a new air filter and try to mess with the idle mixture screws and see if that will help me a little at least for now

I was having idle issues with both my xr350 & xr600 so I removed the idle mixture screws on both,shot some brake cleaner in the hole and blasted each with a shot of air.Then replaced the screws,bottomed 'em lightly then backed 'em out 1 3/4 turns IIRC.Once running I played with the screws a little more and got both xrs idling pretty well.

Might be a little dirt in the orifice,just cleaning might help.
