D'oH! Glad to see you got it sorted. One of the sucky things in our hobby when working with unknown parts, an unknown cam is the biggest 'gotcha'....
Can't unbolt easily/safely with the hood springs under tension. And the springs are aleays under tension, hood opened or closed. Hinges are a...
From the pic the anti drain back diaphragm is right up against the plate. It is probably flipped upside down and doing its job, just that it's now...
Agreed, most auto store crimpers don't have the correct shape, not enough bite or leverage to crimp down on those connectors. Might have to use...
Did they stuff 200s in Chevettes? I knew the 200 was a more efficient design, but its still a sizeable transmission to stick behind anything less...
If the guide isnt sloppy, lap with the finer grit til it feels smooth and there is an even line on both valve and seat. If you're chasing it, then...
Not really. GM B, C, D & G body cars used the Th200-4R. Vehicles weighed 3500-5K+lbs. 700 equipped F/Y body, S/T & C/K trucks of that era weighed...
Th2004R has the best gearing. No need to change out unless you want better acceleration. Plenty of 5Klb 80s Bbody wagons with 28" tall tires,...
Jim, regarding cooling issues. Does your car have all the factory rubber seals/tape around the radiator/core support? Had a hood flutter/front...
Real question is what model or series the wheels are. If they are the same model/series but have different centers, shame on U.S. Wheel. Thats...
Before the starter became self aware, was there any changes or work done on the truck? No matter how mundane. Including letting someone else...
Are they gonna send you the correct sized center caps?
Do you mean Victoria? That would help with the noise. Should be the length of the header collector to the muffler. Do you mean a crossover...
C'mon man... it's not like there is a DeLorean in that pic :p:D Well if Roth did the speech balloons then he did partake in some of the art work,...
Had a similiar contraption used for removing in ground electric motors and small transformers at work. Big rubber tires and a hitch for golf cart...
Jim, did you install a lifter valley baffle?
Late to the game... I've had the occasional lifter not 'pump up'. You don't want/need the lifter to pump up as that can lock up the lifter and...
Not necessarily. I'd put a C4 in just about anything before ever dealing with a 700 ever again... hell I'd put C4(plastic) in a 700 just to see it...
I'll just say, don't bother with sodium filled valves for a street engine.
Far East made parts may be made incorrectly due to the manufacture trying to pocket more profit by skimping on materials. There is also a culture...
