Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'

well took some things like the manifold air pressure sensor out and come to find out its covered in oil. the whole intake has oil in it. so my guess is the PCV valve is messed up big time.

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'

Oh snap!!! That's so dumb! To bad you can't hide it somewhere, I don't understand how they can tow it, if it's being worked on I know that if it sits for a period of time and not move at all it can be towed but your clearly working on it, does that not matter over there?

You can do it man! I know you can get it running!

Re: 78 silverado stepside her names 'Quicksilver'

YES sucess!!!!! i used an old spray bottle and squirted fuel down the throttle body, the computer and every thing works! truck cranks and runs smoothly for moments but understand no fuel lines are connected at the time... now all i need is new radiator hoses, powersteering/alternator bracket with an alternator. and im going to temperaly reloop the tranny cooling lines, plus im getting a nice hurst shifter for 50 bucks. it also comes with a nice bowtie shaped box.. since this trans is cable driven

I don't always downshift when I want to change lanes... But when I do, I make sure it's next to a prius so they know I'm hurting the environment

Oh i dont do it around people anymore. Ive learned quite enough when an angry father rushed up behind me and got beside me at a stop sign tellin me if i did it near his daughter again he'd put me in the hospital... that scared me. and the fact that his daughter may have been hurt. last time i ever did it! Plus that time when some ones windshield got damaged... Nope, have never done it town again
