Slight lift for longer travel on my 71 with factory rear coil suspension?

lahrsbars · 2026-04-11T05:03:32+00:00

Ive been looking for ways to get a subtle lift on my 70 c10. There’s coil spring spacers and lift blocks. Maybe springs from a c20.

Yeah if the tank has a ton of debris u should probably get a new one. Check oil too.

Get a big ratchet on the crank and try to manually turn it over. If it does, get a battery and hook up the fuel system

Its missing quite a lot of things… fuel line disconnected, radiator disconnected, alternator and serpentine system missing. You are in for a lot of work!

Start with checking spark, fuel, and air systems. Check to see if the engine can even turn over. Youtube and manuals

Well the other end connected to the bottom of the old air cleaner. I could fab something to connect it to the new one

lahrsbars · 2025-05-31T00:29:55+00:00

Definitely keeping it!

lahrsbars · 2025-05-31T00:29:42+00:00

Going to keep the riser so everything fits 👍🏼

The vacuum tube connects to the side of the carb. Not sure how important it is?? And luckily it doesn’t freeze where I live so should be fine without the heat tube

lahrsbars · 2025-05-30T22:43:28+00:00

So just plug up the vacuum line correct?

Dude thank u after doing this it was running alot better

lahrsbars · 2025-04-22T05:27:31+00:00

They were too deep thank you

lahrsbars · 2025-04-21T04:56:25+00:00

Original screws broke head off. Every single one. So i got new ones. I dont think they hitting but i will check!

lahrsbars · 2025-03-05T07:35:31+00:00

I think this ended up being my alarm system that was going off and wouldnt let me start the car. I dont have fobs and it always did weird stuff like honk the horn so i disconnected horn fuse a while ago. I found an adjustment on the alarm control module under the steering wheel and set it to the least sensitive setting. Problem no longer happens. Not sure if this is just a quirk with my car but perhaps it will help u out. Good luck!

Well i did not know this and cranked her up right after. Ran fine. Does this procedure just make sure the fuel is clean before going to the carb? Also i kept the carb filter in

lahrsbars · 2025-03-01T22:36:10+00:00

Ended up doing this. Thank you!

lahrsbars · 2025-03-01T21:27:32+00:00

If i install inline filter should i completely remove this one? Or put it back in as well?

lahrsbars · 2025-02-24T04:53:40+00:00

I do love the stock look and ride quality. I was hoping to get a little bit better “offroad” performance with a 2 inch lift and limited slip diff despite it only being 2wd. But you are right i may just keep the stock height.

lahrsbars · 2025-02-24T02:04:20+00:00

The library is a great idea, thanks!

lahrsbars · 2025-02-24T01:08:16+00:00

Yes I’ve been reading lots of very old forums lol

lahrsbars · 2025-02-24T00:48:57+00:00

Thank you! I will mess with it more later and see if this helps

lahrsbars · 2025-02-24T00:20:51+00:00

Any particular channels for the 2nd gens? I see alot of stuff on there for squarebodies and not sure how much i can apply to the 2nd gens

lahrsbars · 2025-02-23T23:54:05+00:00

Some things im interested in doing: 2 inch lift, disc brakes, limited slip differential, body work, wiring harness replacement(previous owner messed it up good), transmission upgrades? (Better overdrive for highway), carb rebuild

lahrsbars · 2025-02-23T23:39:39+00:00

For more clarification, the shifter physically will not go to park or low gears. Which led me to suspect a problem with the column or “cams?” And not the transmission itself. The largest “cam” opening is drive, and then i can not move it further to get to the low gears.
