I'd be dead sure I got the wires in the right order. sometimes people do crazy stuff like put 1 somewhere other than straight ahead.- heviarti

Napa doesn't understand spark plugs.
5/8. I'd have replied sooner, but every time I try I get a no data response from the server. I have added an MSD cap and rotor, an Accel HEI super coil, and 10.4mm Thundervolt wires. It seems the more spark I feed it, The more the thing misses... @#$%R chevy...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
I'd prefer the bronco, mainly because i can't seem to find a 292 to fit in a Blazer anywhere... 300s are a dime a dozen. I have swapped the holley in, I'm definitely having some growing pains with the holley. any time the load is off of it, or i let out of it, the engine starts missing. it...- heviarti

Front disc dragging
Has anyone here had trouble with one of the front disc brakes dragging? It seems that the left front has enough extra drag on it that it doesn't quite spin freely. Hub heats a little bit. I took it apart, repacked the outside wheel bearing, cleaned up the two pins the caliper rides on, and...- heviarti

Napa doesn't understand spark plugs.
I've been ordering spark plugs by application, and it occurred to me that might not be correct for two reasons: One, I have an engine that has had all of the superfluous hardware removed. Without emissions the mixture is slightly different than an engine with both PCV and EGR. Two, In 1970...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
This engine has had some work done to it, though I am not 100 percent sure what. I do know it was built as a 383 stroker, and I've added a Performer manifold. Either way, a V8 that large with a 4 barrel and no emissions should likely outperform a smaller stock motor with a 2 barrel. A...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
Yet even if I rebuild this carb it may yet still be wrong. If they're so application specific, why would I rebuild the wrong thing, and put it back on? As to the choke, you should always have a manual choke. That's part of the reason my 1962 dodge was always ready to work, and my ford was not...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
I think I can set a 6AL up without a problem; I did it on my 300 inline six. I even installed the diode to prevent run-on, since I retrofitted to a Delcotron. David Vizard seems to always recommend a greater than engine-capable flow for better performance. Looking at the pros and cons we...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
It's very possible this is a lesser unit. I don't know much about the history of it other than the previous owner's dead husband built it as a 383 six years ago. They deleted all of the emissions bullcrap, went with a dual exhaust, (thereby destroying the emergency brake) and may have put a cam...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
Oh no, I don't want electric. That's like asking for a failure. I just like the electric since they come in that round case that makes it easy to install a manual. When I got the truck the manual kit was installed in such a way that the sheath was wired onto the hood brace on the firewall...- heviarti

Quadrajet for Holley swap
I am currently running a quadrajet, and am having some issues. My mileage varies wildly on the same trip, by as much as 5 MPG. My secondaries take ridiculously long to active (not at all in second, 40mph in third, 55 or more in fourth). It's had a very bad manual choke conversion done, but I...- heviarti

Stewzer55's Oldsmobile Station Wagon
I'm beginning to wonder how much of the caprice police special package can be migrated into one of these... Or if the cross member can be changed out for one from a caprice for easier modification to dual exhaust. The only thing I don't like so far is the absence of the little lever on the...- heviarti

Stewzer55's Oldsmobile Station Wagon
Hmm. Hopefully there is some testing info in the manual. I have found several Oldsmobile marked entry fobs on eBay. How do I identify the right unit? Anyone know what bulb the under hood lamp takes? All I found were bits and pieces ala crushed up crack pipe...- heviarti

Stewzer55's Oldsmobile Station Wagon
What 'module' is that? I did try the unlock button on the driver door and got nothing. I have a feeling I am going to have to do some diagnosis. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something blocking me... I had to replace the little T24 marker bulb before my right front turn signal would...- heviarti

Stewzer55's Oldsmobile Station Wagon
Debugged turn signals and some other stuff. No instructions in the owners manual about programming a fob, just instructions on having the dealer do it. I picked up the factory service manual on eBay, it will be here shortly. I'm still trying to figure out how the jack assembly is intended to...- heviarti
