Yo,
Been taking more and more things apart on the blazer. Pulled steering column apart and found that some PO stripped the hell out of the torks (sp?) bolts. I'd like to replace two of them, but where? Has anyone put in some nice SS hex bolts in? Seems easier.

Also looking for the bearings, just above the tilt ball. Pepboys didn't have them and Rockauto doesn't seem to. Haven't tried Autozone, but they normally carry the same stuff. On the hunt.

I'm also looking to run some 4-5" lift blocks on my 14b temporarily while I finish some other things and put my shackle flips on. Anyone have some they are willing to give away? And maybe old U bolts? please :D

thanks
 
also, my steering wheel and horn assembly didn't have a wire on it.

The horn didn't work. The fuse was bad. Replace the fuse and without doing anything, it would blow immediately. Thoughts? The wires look good going to the horns, but that's all being replaced with my wiring kit.

arg I feel like an idiot

I want to order my steering wheel and fuel pump from summit at the same time, save on shipping. I don't know what fuel pump to buy. I'm trying to break down my choices but nothing looks right. I have 2 hoses attached with clamps on the bottom. There is also a female block on the bottom for the to-carburetor outlet. So 3 total.

I don't seem to see those. It's an 85, 350, CA smog. However, I'm putting a 400sb in, dunno if that changes anything. Will be a strong but tame 400.

thanks again hehe
 
can anyone recommend a good alternator? Going to run a winch and electric cooling fan. It's still V-belt, I might upgrade to something else after I go serpentine. For now, two batteries and some with more amps.

help please:crazy::dunno:
