Re: 1986 S10 Daily Driver Rollover Rebuild
Well, here I am another year plus since I was last on the site. After last post, I had issues with it running really poorly and I dug in to find the throttle body was worn badly around the throttle shaft allowing enough unmetered air in that it just wouldn't run right. Had issues sourcing a reman until about a month ago I finally was able to get my hands on a reman TBI-I.
The truck runs as good as ever now, I'm back to dailying it to work, although it rewarded me for waking it from its long rest by PROMPTLY puking all the antifreeze into the passenger footwell...... I have the heater core hoses looped and I'll fix that when I have a chance, at the moment I'm neck deep in a bathroom remodel and that's taking most of my free time.
The old truck still looks decent, minus the mismatch hood. I'm hoping this spring to have time to paint it to match.
