    Help me identify this passenger side wheel well / side engine mystery wire #2 (1993 K3500 diesel)

    Here is another one. View from the passenger side wheel well. Looks aftermarket, but maybe not or was repaired before. At least 1 splice visible on the wire - I am holding the end pointed up on the 1st pic and left on the 2nd pic. I can't see the other end. Any ideas?

    1988 350 TBI Uneven Idle?

    Picked up a 1988 K3500 last year with what I believe to be a TBI 350. Runs great and has under 100k kilometres on it, but at idle it bogs down to a near stall before returning to normal idle speed. Any ideas on what's wrong? (It's got an SM-465 in it if that helps)
