the only one i have is the one on page one. i can run over and snap a picture of the adapter if it will help.

 

[YZEATER]

in post 10, is that the one you have installed currently?

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

thats the old 1/2 ton master. i'll go snap a pic of the new master and the adapter.

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

K30 master cylinder and K20 power booster

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

the adapter that was in the front of the old master cylinder.

 

[YZEATER]

ok, just like i thought, same MC as i have used. swap line placement front to back. just get the right adapter if needed.

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

wont that affect the way the brakes work if i swap the lines front to back?

 

[YZEATER]

the resovoirs (sp) are in different locations in a 1-ton mc to a 1/2 ton, they have to be swapped.

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

alright, i'll just take the adapter that was on the front and put it on the back and put that back line on the front

thanks. it really needs alot of work for me to even get it inspected. i gotta see whats wrong with my left tail light, i gotta get a pump for my windshield washer bottle & install it and the bottle, i gotta put my new 6" lift on, get a set of marker lights, and finish the brake work

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

is a 650 cfm carb too much for a built 305?

 

[YZEATER]

you should be ok.

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

still needing a set of amber marker light, preferably with the chrome trim. also, does anyone have a wiring diagram for the horn and the windshield washer pump motor? it seems they were "deleted" by the previous owner and i need them for inspection!

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

was it possible for our trucks to only come with one horn? if so what color was the connector wire that plugged onto the horn?

 

[Dalejrfan]

On my '79, the wire that goes to the horn is a blueish-green color. Only one wire. Located on the drivers side just behind the grille. The wire runs off of the wire loom that goes to the headlights etc. Should run along the drivers fender area.

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

i'll have to check that out. thank you. my K10 was built out of 3 trucks by the previous owner and nothings really right on it

 

[offroadblazer764x4]

soon i hope. i got some motivation from the po's brother. i seen his 76 K10 and it made me really want to get mine inspected and drivable. i put 6" superlift front springs on recently and im going to start on the rear 6" superlift springs when the weathers decent. i ordered some parts from ruff stuff and ord over the winter which are waiting to go on. i got 10 rancho shocks for $100 that was off of a show truck and im looking at doing my exhaust before i get it inspected. i got marker lights finally eventhough they aren't the amber lenses like id wanted. ive gotta wire up the windshield washer pump motor and the horn still and its good to go for inspection.. minus the rear driveshaft. im also picking up a 350 that needs rebuilt, a 10 spline 465, and a 205 with an sye kit from the po's brother for $10 and a 4" block lift for his 76 K10

 

[chevyridinhigh79]

quick question, is there anyway i can tell if my heads are square port or round port without removing the exhaust manifold to look? the reason i ask is cause i just bought a set of headers and i need to know which gaskets to get but the trucks in my neighbors driveway and i can't leave it sit there too much longer
