I just got back from a visit to Epp. He has most of the body work done, just primer, sanding and paint. Then back on the chassis for wiring and...
The mechanical advance in the distrlibutor may be gummed up and sticking at full advance. I have seen this several times. This will cause a kick...
Thanks HOOP 98, Great info.
You can certainly use racing oil. The only problem is finding racing oil that is in the 10-30, 10-40 or even 5-30 weights. It is made though.
If I remember correctly on the early 283 blocks, you need to use the starter that has a short outer bolt and long inside bolt. They should be...
You said you have a Holley carb on the 283. What manifold are you using? If you are using an iron Chevy part are you using and adapter? Some HP...
OK guys, I know we hate to do this until after we have a problem, but. read the f--king instructions. Now, please pass the dam bottle . It's...
Jack, I agree that hooking the wire to the neg post on the coil shouldn't be a problem. I am trying to suggest another way to ground the overdrive...
The wire from the solenoid to the coil is using the points as a momentary ground just as the coil is. The solenoid would get to hot if it used a...
It's been a while since I updated this thread. The sheet metal work is now done on the body. The frame is finished and the engine and trans have...
Last August I was on a little cruise in Northwest Iowa and I met one of those Google Street View vans. I remembered seeing the van and where it...
The Beehive oil filter was not intended to be a full flow oil filter. That type filter was used as an add on filter for engines that did not come...
There is a sprag unit used in the first couple of years for this trans that is easily assembled wrong when rebuilding. Get the correct manual and...
Wrong valve lifters would be the first thing to check. Some engine rockers get lubed through the rocker arm shaft and not the push rod such as...
It sounds to me like it's just low on fluid. Some fluid may have leaked out while sitting around. If it sucks a little air in it would be slow to...
What is the large vacuum hose hooked to. There should be a pcv valve in the hose at or near the base of the center carb. Without a pcv valve in...
Check some numbers on that 350 engine. Maybe it is supposed to be sluggish, like in 305??? A 305 would need a lower 1st gear as in a 350 trans....
52 ragtop, you are correct, I missed the offset valve cover bolts, never on a 327. My bad, CJS
Duke, the heads in your photos came on 210 HP, 327 engines in around 65-67. They had a small 2G carb.They were mostly used in the lighter weight...
I recently put exhaust all the way to the back on my coupe trying to get rid of CO. It got worse. Exhaust comes into the car from the rear due to...
Either heads will work fine. I would suggest getting the "Desk Top Dyno" program and check out building your engine on that program first to find...
The smaller 605 steering gear may give you some clearance. The 605 box was used on GM metric stuff after 78. Some of them may have different...
I had a simular problem on my sons sedan .with a 9 inch, a few years ago. The wheel studs on the rear axle had sholders that prevented the drums...
I did one a couple of years ago. I didn't have any vin numbers on anything. A couple of things I learned are to contact the dmv at the state...
You forgot your meds this morning didn't you. When I putz along at 30 with the 5 speed, I'am all ready in a lower gear, 2nd or 3rd. "Chill out...
If you are putzing along at 30 mph in drive and 3rd gear and need to get the hell out of some clowns way so your rod doesnt get flattened. You...
