sounds like the high beam swtich may be bad,

This could be because of a failed intake air temperature sensor or another temperature sensor like coolant. Are the gauges reporting temperature of the engine properly?

If the ignition switch is in the column then you need special tools to remove the steering wheel and various other components to get at it. Find a shop that can do this for you.

could need a new belt, need to tighten down ur rods, or adjust ur timing

the switch under the dash attached to the column has most likely moved and there will be a steel rod that connects from the "Blinker" handle and pushes on the hi/low switch on the column.. If you remove the under dash panel, you should be able to see this steel rod running down the left of the steering column, then at the lower end of the rod you will see the switch. it will have three wires in it. just push down on the part that the rod meets with on the switch and the low beams should work. if this works then the switch is still good and need to be adjusted up alittle. if the switch doesn't click to low beams then you will need to change the switch. good luck

1986 chevy has a manual pump mounted on the passenger side of the engine.

I assume since it is doing it by itself that you have the 3 push buttons on the dash to put it into 4wd? If so is the 4L button stuck in so it is constantly trying to put it in 4L. Maybe tap on that button to see if that button will release. If that don't fix the problem, I would imagine you would need to replace that switch?

it will, as long as they are the same drive type...i.e. both front wheel drive motors, or both rear wheel drive.

The mechanic should check the fuel lines or gas hose from the tank going to the carburetor and from carburetor going to the engine. and also check on the first or primary filter ,the secondary filter, the spray nozzle assembly and the carburetor . if there is a dirt it should be cleaned if there is a spare parts that is worn out it should be replace and if there is a corroded parts then clean it also .After it then also check if there is a loose connection of the hose then reconnect the connection of the fuel lines or gas hose should be tighten that it will not spill gas.But still don't forget to check the screws or the bleeder screws of the carburetor check if there is a dirt and if there is a worn out screw's or bleeder screws .if there is then clean it with a clean gas if there is a worn out replace it. the throttle should also be check if it is been stock there fore you have to repair it if worn out already then replace it.If the carburetor is dirty gas can't pass to the engine normally or some times no gas is going to the engine.That is why you should clean it or replace the worn out parts . But then you have also to check the gas that you are using to your car. If the gas is diluted or dirty then it can be the cause of the problem. Change the gas and buy or get a clean gas that is not diluted or dirty because sometimes dirty gas or fuel can give malfunctioning to the carburetor assembly.

with the door half open press on the two arms if that don't work remove the mounting screws

None of my information says that they were built by someone other than GM, why?

There is no fuse for the headlights. There is a circuit breaker in the headlight switch and a fusible link down at the starter. If everything works then I would replace the headlight switch because the fusible link controls all power to the truck except the starter. Hope this helps.

You need to check the primary & secondary resistance on your coil. If that checks out then you may have to replace your ignition switch, not the cylinder itself but the switch located under the dash on the steering column
