So just a little update, I finally broke down and took the suburban to the shop, just haven't really had the time to really dig in and get it running, so I asked the local shop to figure out what's wrong and I'm going to go form there. I have a cousin that wants the chassis so he can rebuild...

I got it to run and idle, but as soon as I put it in gear, it stalls out

I can get the distributor in all the way to engage with everything, but for some reason, no matter what I have tried, I can't get it to fire off, made a little progress the other day, but she acts like it's 180° out of time, when I rotated 180, it got worse

Right, it's just a matter of figuring out where the problem is

Might have to, took the top down to the block, and replaced the timing cover gasket, new carb, new distributor, etc., basically gave it a full overhaul, and this is the last thing that needs done to get it back on the road, and it's giving me a headache

I've rotated 180, still not firing, doesn't try to till you spin clockwise as far as it goes, but still isn't enough, also sounds like it could be firing on the exhaust stroke, just a lot of spitting and popping out of the exhaust, could I have put the harmonic balancer on backwards

Ok so quick update on the rig, engine is completely back together, but I'm having some trouble getting the timing set, anyone have any suggestions, I'm all ears and could really use the help

Ok all my small block chevy guys, I'm having some trouble getting the timing set on my 1979 k20 suburban with a sbc 400, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while, still working on the suburban, turns out I still have electrical problems, still doesn't hold a charge for more than a few hours, needs a new carburetor, fuel inlet is stripped out and won't stay in place, so leaks pretty bad, have the whole top end pulled...

Well just finished the trans work, and the electrical is ao, just ended up with a bad battery,, haven't started on the engine yet, just getting parts together for that, its drivable as long as I keep an eye on the oil and temperatures, so right now just using it for short hunting trips

I know its been a while since I posted on here, been having aa bit of trouble finding the time to work on my rig, but a little update, it needs a transmission rebuild, and a few more oil leaks taken care of in the engine. The electrical is another thing, it has developed a short thats draining...

Well I’m a bit late posting about it, but I’ve replaced the valve cover gaskets, done some tweaks to the carburetor, and realized I have a TH350 transmission, so far its running well, still some minor things to work on

So personally, I think it looks great, I think your right about just looking at it to much for the day, I have some projects to do to my rig as well, just haven’t had the time to get to them, custom rear bumper, custom luggage rack, spare tire carrier, probably also going to have to be custom or...

This is something I’ve been wondering about as well, I just recently got my rig, while everything was shut down in my area so haven’t even been able to get it registered or insurance for it yet, but I’m going to ask myself when I go in, so if no answer by then I’ll let you know

This is very much the same as what I have heard, not sure if I want that in my life right now

Had to do a new fuel pump, and valve cover gaskets, made a day out of it

Well new fuel pump is in, time for valve cover gaskets

Would be great, would love making new friends and meeting everyone involved

Hey ImBAVID, glad to see another from Texas joining, I’m in central Texas, and I’m just starting out myself, running an old suburban
