1981 Chevrolet Blazer K-5 review from Italy
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After driving it away from dealer, all lamps switched off due to electrical problem (the dealer didn't want to repair it for free).
After few months there's a little knocking noise under the hood: a piston broke.
Had to take out the engine and still without it.
Handling and speed not so great as its torque, but the only good reason I raccomend this diesel is its great fuel average.
I suggest to put in a new edelbrock and after that you will go anywhere.
