I'm going to Grand Lake, Oklahoma for a bachelor party and I'm wondering if I should hit up the well-known off-road area they have near by outside the town of disney. I'm looking up pics and just see pics of jeeps and ATVs. I'd be interested in some humble 4-wheelin down some dusty trails, not...
I agree but it's a matter of opinion/taste.
Many (most?) people would say that because we keep having to tinker with the carbs and replacing gaskets and fluids, that they're not reliable. But from my limited experience, these trucks never stop. No matter how badly out of tune I have my engine...
Finally got the carb adjusted just right for cold weather, needed to richen the air/fuel mixture screws and the choke. Funny how those things that effect idle also affect driveability...
I FOUND OUT WHAT THE ******* "PROBLEM" IS
Edelbrock carb #1400 (not 1406, but 1400 which is what I have) does not have a full manifold vacuum port!! Both ports on the front are ported vacuum!
Of course I want manifold vacuum for my vacuum advance on the diistributor (see...
Yeah I'm wondering if it's a vacuum leak...
I should also mention that I have a 2" carb spacer - the open stytle, no the 4 hole kind. My intake manifold is an edelbrock performer, dual plane. Just like this...
I'm trying to dial in the engine. Here's what i know:
edebrock 600cfm carb. I don't think the cam is too crazy or anything
the idle mixture screws do absolutely nothing to either rpm or manifold vacuum. But they used to! Just a week or two I adjusted them and I was able to get the rpm to...
installed new brake pads
replaced broken wheel lug studs while trying to replace said brake pads
cut off excess from the new u-bolts (too tall, could hit the frame)
adjusted the steering linkage to straighten the steering wheel
did a DIY alighment job using string
installed a bluetooth...
Yeah I didn't think so. No other choice.
...
Oh well actually I already have the hub and bearing off and I've pounded out the old studs and pounded in the new ones. It's going way quicker than I thought it would. To my utter delight, I got the big retaining ring out on the very first...
