Currently rebuilding the bench seat; also just ordered this kit:
https://stores.partsdude4x4.net/igni...d-2-door-lock/ Should be able to get it all keyed the same except for the tailgate--which I am OK with not matching. I also needed a new ignition switch anyway, didn't have a glove box lock which would make me feel better, and the door locks don't match (I don't have a key for the passenger's side lock).
Might also be going to TBI this summer on it (finally, lol). One of my buddy's dads has an old '94 GMC 3/4 ton that's rusted out with a spun bearing sitting in their yard, and my friend said he'd pull it (wiring harness, throttle body, computer, everything) and give it to me for free. They can't use it for anything anyway. This is 2-barrel TBI and will obviously need retuned for a Buick 350, which my dad did all the tuning on the 401 on the '88, so I think we can do it.
According to my math, that 2-barrel TBI's 400 cfm won't be adequate for the Buick, assuming a 1:1 induction ratio (which frankly probably isn't reasonable given that it's never been rebuilt...). My plan to compensate for that is to do these mods
https://harristuning.com/Tbi/ultimate-tbi-mods/ to the throttle body, as well as doing an air cleaner upgrade over the stock TBI air cleaner. I'll also need the 454 2-barrel TBI to Quadrajet adapter, and to figure out a fuel pump, of course.
I'm still debating about that TBI. On the one hand, the price is right, and I wouldn't have to mess with any more tuning once it's dialed in. On the other hand, I have the carb all dialed in, with an electric fuel pump and a decent fuel filter, and I have it set up so I can just swap out the metering rods for higher altitude, so I don't nec. want to mess with that. I keep going back and forth. Will see; any insight will be considered as I won't be doing that until summer at the earliest, with it being my daily driver.
