My '84 C10 is packing an Olds 350 Rocket. As best as i can tell from the numbers on it appears to be from 1974. It is set up with the Quadrajet and large-cap HEI ignition with gold paint hidden under...

As I've noted in another thread, got home late last night. Eight days, ten states, 2,900 miles, and several thousand dead bugs. The only problem with the car was that my rear airbags developed a...
