    Hey guys been a long time! Wanted to drop in with a long overdue update, which I am sure nobody here remembers my little project. But anyway, after awhile and not having any proper place to work on it, I ended up doing some trade work with a local auto repair shop to get this thing road worthy...

    It could be the TBI. After we fixed that vacuum line the truck idles smooth with no miss, so that could still be a timing issue?

    Hahahaha I love it. I definitely agree, Im not gonna mess with the TV cable myself, Ive learned of a very good mechanic in the area I plan on getting the truck taken to for the transmission. Hopefully, fingers crossed, the previous people didnt already smoke that brand new transmission (why do I...

    Actually I spoke to the previous owners today lol. They said they believe it is the detent cable that goes to the transmission. I guess because its lifted the cable might not be long enough? Does that seem like it could be it? It revs just fine when its sitting in park.

    More fun! Yesterday I had a friend come over to get me going in the right direction trying to figure out this mystery problem. We tried driving it around and it had a small miss and backfiring when he put on any gas. He took off the distributor cap and it looked really good, so we dug around and...

    Ok, I spent a better part of the day messing around with the truck. First I bolted the Y pipe back on the manifolds with some new hardware. Put on new PCV valve, throttle position sensor, plugs and wires. I was hoping I fixed the lack of power going uphill problem, but sadly I did not. Anyone...

    Ive seen Rock Auto before but I have never browsed them much since this is my first project truck. I was thinking they might be good for those specific items like new door panels and handles, trim pieces ect. Performance stuff I was thinking Summit Racing and for the generic stuff Ive just been...

    Once I get an opportunity to get into some real work on it, I absolutely will upload pictures. I love before and after images. If I work hard enough I will have friday off haha, but I am not doing anything interesting on it. Just bolting the stock Y pipe back on, replacing the TPI, PCV valve...

    I should have asked this in the beginning, where is the best place to order parts for this truck? Do you think summit racing is ok for things like headers/distributor/air intake? Or is there somewhere better?

    Yeah I am pretty excited. It looks like just enough of a project for a newbie like myself.

    Hahaha yeah its just sitting there currently. Am I correct in thinking someone did a gauge swap? Did any 91 models come with those gauges?

It started as someone's project but they hadnt done anything with it in awhile. I was doing some work for them and just asked about it. Paid $1500 for it...
