    HVAC Vacuum Controls

    Okay, so I got the cowl off and found the vacuum door under the cowl. Next issue is that I'm going to need new pins for the back of the metal cowl grill. Anyone know where to get them?

    HVAC Vacuum Controls

    Yes, my vacuum resevoir is hooked to manifold vacuum and then the small line hooks to it and runs into the cab. Tomorrow I'm going to pull the line off the kick panel and make sure it's getting vacuum when the AC is on max. Also, the control switch that all the vacuum lines plug into may not...

    HVAC Vacuum Controls

    Hi, I've got an 82 K25 with AC. Anyone know where this vacuum hose goes when it goes off into the firewall. The one that comes in from the engine is to the left of it and lower. I'm thinking it goes to the AC somehow? Anyway, the kick panel vent flap never opens on my truck and I don't...

    Ticking/Rattle on acceleration

    Sounds like you've got some pre ignition "pinging" going on. Probably need to back the timing off some. What's your initial timing? Is your vacuum advance working? Does it happen at lower rpm when the engine is under load or just at mid to higher rpm when under load?

    Newly rebuilt by me motor - 400 chevy, crank .020 under, bored .040 over, flat tappet cam that was previously broken in. Fired it up and warmed it up for 20 or so minutes and changed the oil and filter. They both looked fine. Then I put 150-200 miles on and changed it again. Oil has a slight...
