:O wonder how long it took you to figure that problem out? Well, anyways, just wanted to tell everyone I'm still working on this issue, just...
does it misfire while idling? you could use a normal timing light and watch the flashes from each wire, that will tell you if it's the coil at...
Can only imagine the strange noises that made when it went :D , but really that sucks, means your not driving till it's fixed.
I cut the wire going from my temp gauge to the sender in the block before I realized it's NOT an electrical wire, but gas filled XD
Maybe nylocks, they look stock. So the good news is, I finally got it all set. The tip about cutting an old valve cover and adjust rockers while...
Crap... we got one more problem lol I should have left the rockers alone but noooo I just had to get my hands into it :D So, I got back from...
Ok, so I got a bit more info now. I loosened all the rockers, let them sit for an hour before setting them back. Cyl. 7 was far too loose, don't...
My boss and I were talking about it after work, sounds like the best option at the moment is to double check the torque on the driver side head...
SWEET! you all had good points, I have a lot of testing to do when I get home. I did consider a power valve problem, I had a 3.5, but reduced it...
I was not sure if that was normal since I don't have another engine as reference, (still learning) but yes, the vacuum does begin to drop when the...
Yup, I got a Holley heat shield under my carb and the bowls barley even get warm to the touch. If it was the carb, then you would think it would...
When I replaced my master cylinder and all the brake lines last, I first bench bled the master cylinder, then installed it after I had all my...
One thing I forgot to mention, If I pull off a plug on any of the full manifold vacuum ports after it has heated up, the engine will idle back up...
Ill do my best to do a hot compression test as soon as the weather allows, though it would be difficult to not burn my hands on the manifolds with...
Only thing that I can think of is if you switch to a Holley, you might have to spend some time getting it all tuned to perfection, where if you...
cant wait to see your find :D
So, I have been working on my "new" engine for the 52, it seems that whenever the temp starts to get close to 200*F a light seemingly blue smoke...
The HAMB community has been incredibly helpful with all my holley carb troubles, you wont regret! I do hope that you go for a hot-rod build :D
yah, I heard the part of the vapor which is actually really bad that comes off of it has no smell, might not even know till it's too late XD
rhino liner, that has to be the ultimate! :eek:
Durability, like it will NEVER come off :D If anyone has ever painted their car in industrial paint, LETS SEE IT!!!
In the quest of finding a new good, cheap, and tough as nails paint job, I would like to ask what all you guys have done (pictures!!!!! :D)...
[IMG] (sorry for multiple posts)
could it have been asbestos? I still have some of it on the wiring on my truck, too bad you wont be able to buy it anymore it was good stuff (just...
Helilog, I think your right, I did some more digging through older posts and found this:...
I had a similar problem with my old stainless line, I pulled over at an O'reillys, got some rubber fuel line, cut a slit all the way down, and had...
sweet, I got all day tomorrow to mess around with it, my old return spring did not feel all that weak though... but anyways ill be putting my hand...
Brings back old memories when my Dad and I were working on our 52 GMC (avatar) little did I know it would be mine almost 10 years later :P Keep...
Oups sorry, it's a holley 4150 I believe, #65 jets, and a 3.5 Power Valve. Before posting this I put on a new dual return spring, disconnected the...
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with their vacuum secondary getting stuck and holding the throttle open. This happened to me a week...
