How much compression psi in the cylinders should a 1986 Chevrolet 305 motor have?
155-160 good used 170-175new
first of all if there is one on it u will take it off at the carb first unclip it or take the pin out holding it onto the carb then squeeze the tabs on each side of the plastic part going through the bracket on the engine just behind the carb then there will be a bolt where it bolts into the transmission on the drivers side remove the bolt ,pull the housing of the cable out keep pulling until the wire inside of the transmission is up so you can see it , then gently clamp a set of needle nose vise grips onto the wire to hold it up it will have a sort of bend on the top of the wire tilt the cable side ways and take off the wire. to install tilt the new cable sideways the same way and work back on the wire . NOTE : make sure the end of the cable is sitting same direction of wire once installed!! put housing back into transmission and put bolt back in . pull on opposite end of cable to make sure it is moving freely (should go back on its own)then reinstall the other end into the bracket on the motor and reattatch to carb. hope this helps

take the bed off!
remove the scres around the fuel filler neck and remove the bolts holding the bed on the frame. There are only like 6 or 10 depending on model year i think. Lift off with a friend and do it that way, its way easier :)

Try to move the diaphragm on the EGR valve, it should move semi-easily but if it is hard as rock try pushing harder on it to free it up. My 91 k1500 305 had this same problem and that is what I did to solve it. Once the diaphragm moves freely remove the negative battery cable to reset the computer. Drive the car at highway speeds and see if the check engine light comes back on.
Yes, it will run ok, but if you ever have to pass an emissions test or if you're ever pulled over and someone looks under the vehicle who cares about such things it could end up being a big fine. That isn't recommended.
What Edelbrock Carbuerator will fit your Edelbrock 2701?
According to Edelbrock, the 2701 Performer EPS is designed for use with square bore carburetors (for those who don't know the difference between a square bore and a spread bore: A square bore has primaries and secondaries that are the same size; a spread bore has small primaries and large secondaries -- like a quadrajet).
Edelbrock recommends a 600 CFM performer carburetor for use with the 2701 intake manifold.
Edelbrock recommended part numbers are: 1405 with manual choke; or 1406 with electric choke and calibrated slightly leaner than the 1405 for daily driving & fuel economy.
You can also use Holley carburetors as well (vacuum secondary or double pumper in the size of your choice).

Why does your 1989 305 hesitate at higher RPM?
when you hammer on it it takes a sec for the gas to run on in the carb, it shouldn't be much of a hesitation but there could be a little, another thing would be to check your advance spark, it may be getting weak or gone out
