V8 S10 Blazer Project Emergency Kitchen Floor Carburetor Rebuild (Ep.19) 

Great work. I'm having issues with my junk edelbrock on hills

Love my upside down name

Your story telling is great very informative, i wish i had half the knowledge you do in cars

@@kaner5873 are you from Australia?

@fuzzydiceprojects on gm trucks if you have a 4 barrel then not all the Jets and vents will work. On gms the carb power cord is for an 8 volt carb. You need to rewire it and either splice it to the windshield wiper power cord or straight to the battery. That's what I did and it solved most problems. I don't know if this is issue but It might help.

I’d definitely much prefer that to the heat, if I’m being completely honest.

lol

TKSS If it was me and my wife I would do it because my cheap ass bought that shitty cheap car 😄

EFI for life, yo! I respect carbs, and people like my brother and uncle who can tune a carb to actual performance levels with a pocket screwdriver and their ear, I'm more of a lambda sensor and laptop kinda guy myself. Thing is... you can leave the raunchiest gasoline sitting in an EFI engine for a decade, put new fuel in, crank it a few times and the thing will roar to life! I have a hard enough time keeping my lawn mower running... in fact, my love for EFI is so extensive, that I'm planning on fuel injecting my riding mower! Hell... when I decided I wanted to turbocharge my mazda miata in 2004, I bought a megasquirt kit and not only built my own EFI controller (it was a literal bare board and a box of resistors/capacitors/mosfets/diodes), but I wired and tuned it myself. What a fantastic experience that was! Nothing better than hearing people tell me how "it'll never run" and "that thing will do nothing but give you problems" to only experience YEARS of flawless functionality and the realization I actually built an 11 second mazda miata. I call it the "Hairdressers express." 2200 pounds, 300whp, 260 pounds of torque. What a treat this car is...

i know its like sitting around a campfire listening to someone tell a story....with video!

I just realized that also. I live in Baltimore but I was wondering what part of the state he is from.

I wish he’d do a meet n greet for local fans!

Treasper Killa I’m from eastern shore of md

Cool that you got a project, i had just gotten a project myself. After watching these videos i had bought a 91 s10 blazer for 500 bucks

@@jadenbrigman3693 Sweet man, I've actually got the dodge going now and one of my friends is buying it off of me 😂 at any rate though now I'm in the market for something chevrolet

@@speeddemon4484 great that you got it running im still working on my blazer. I have a vacume leak that needs fixing and a few minor things. Ill probably make it my daily driver whem said amd done

I was gonna say the same thing. Bare minimum, get that girl an Edelbrock! #Quadrajunk

How kind of you guys to buy a Holley and post it to Fuzzy Dice! He'll really enjoy your gift :)

32F water freezes. 100F HOT! 69F is just right. But I agree. We need to join the rest of the world.

@@psygn0sis Yes I get that but for someone not used to Fahrenheit its hard do a conversion really fast to understand the conversation. (most of the times I get it by logic but its not precise)

Keep your Communism Units to yourselves. Fahrenheit was made by a physicist, Celsius was made by a cuckold Swedish astronomer, likely while watching his wife in an orgy.

Yes.

It's essential!

Interesting, I hadn't heard of it being used for that purpose before! Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check that out!

I bought the truck with the 4.3L engine and TBI, pretty quickly had issues with the TBI system and tried everything but couldn't diagnose it. Pretty sure there was an issue with the computer. Ditched it for a carb, later the engine spun a rod bearing and the V8 was installed keeping the carb system. I got some of the TBI parts with the V8 I bought, but not enough to make it work and decided to just stick with the carburetors to keep things simple. "Simple."

It has been addressed in some earlier videos and will probably receive some attention eventually

There will be a series for that project coming up in the future! It has been mentioned and briefly talked about in a few update videos, but does not have its own series yet.

I don't think I'll ever add it back in, but who knows! There isn't a lot of space but there are options out there. It still will get pretty warm and overheat in bad traffic, but I have a larger radiator ready to go in that will hopefully take care of that part of it. A lower idle and better tune should also help a lot.

I got it on sale for $50 (came with sockets, too) and at that price it's fantastic. Even at $100, it's probably a decent choice. It has a built-in battery and proprietary charging cable so I don't think it's exactly an heirloom tool, but it has worked great for me so far! Under normal conditions the battery lasts a very long time. I also actually like that it's a little weaker than some of the other brands, the newest Milwaukee one is unpleasant to use because of how hard it jerks your hand on a stuck fastener. Using it as a manual ratchet, it won't stand up to the claimed "150 ft/lbs" but 50 or so is totally fine. I have pulled on it hard enough that it feels like the body is going to explode off of it and it never skipped teeth.

The 350 and 305 are the same external size, really the only difference is the bore diameter inside the block. Most of the parts (including cylinder heads) are even compatible between them. Not a dumb question! Based just on the numbers it would seem like the 305 would be a physically smaller engine.

When my Dad was alive he told a story about going home with his friend after school one day in High School. Their Dad had blown the engine in their 55 Chevy. When he got to his friends house for supper, he went to wash up, and there in the bathtub was the oil pan valve covers rockers and all. On the kitchen table was a freshly cooked, cleaned and hawned block... They were in the process of saving the money for the gaskets rings and bearings...

He mentioned in his last update video that he has MONTHS of old footage yet to be edited into videos. Most of the videos he makes are usually recorded quite a few months prior to uploading.

That's why I find it a little ironic

Where are you seeing the crossfire? I assume you are just seeing the arcing through the clear distributor cap, others have made that same mistake. I can't seem to see any sparking between the wires in the video.

@@FuzzyDiceProjects I replayed the video and at 3:01 or just a touch before you see the two wires that are zip tied together behind carb and pointing at cylinders #2 and #4 closer to cap than carb and those two are real close, and in black and white resolution its plain as the nose on your face.... hope this helps

​@@morgansword Thanks for the specifics, that is definitely the arcing inside of the distributor (from the rotor to the terminals) that is visible through the clear cap. It is very noticeable at night, and like you said that black and white filter really brings it out as well while making the clear distributor cap less obvious. The wires are all kept about 1/4" apart via zip tie separators and the wires are relatively new, never noticed and issues with them.
