Damn it…
Ok… well, the K5 runs…sort of.
It starts hard, and idles rough. If I hit the gas, it backfires a huge puff of smoke up through the carb.
I have a small, as-yet-unidentified wiring harness. I looked it up in my factory wiring manual (the same ones the folks used on the assembly line) and it only adds to the confusion. The closest thing to my engine in the book is a California-emissions V6, yet mine is a Tennessee V8!?!?
I’m thinking since the K5 was once a KPD (Knoxville Police Dept.) truck, that maybe Chevy sells all gov’t vehicles with California-approved emissions control equipment.
Either way, between the weird wiring harness, and the crazy-ass backfiring, I’m a little annoyed.
