    Excellent! That beats the Holley part by $30.00 !! So far, so good on the good 93octane non-ethanol gas and 12°BTDC....................

    I bought 5gl of 93 octane non-ethanol this morn. $3.18/gl. I am gonna siphon the current gas out (I hope...) and try the good stuff............

    Radiator core support too tall

    Dunno if it will cause a hood problem or not, but the radiator brackets are above the radiator by a good 3/8" I measured and the support is taller than the original by that amount. It does not appear to be bent at the bottom. This support is even CAPA certified............ Any ideas?? I may end...

    http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=723941 Only dislike is that the connection to the radiator is a bit loose. Gotta tighten down on the clamp a bit...........

    Ahh, but the beauty of advancing the timing is that you close the butterfly plates a bit to reduce the idle RPM.............less throttle opening means less run on.............. Again, as I have a manual tranny, idle is set pretty low. The only objection to the kick up solenoid is that I would...

    As I pondered things tonite, that thought occurred to me. I had taken 2° out of the initial, and the increased throttle at idle did make things worse. I rationalized as you suggested..... Distributor vacuum off the port on the Holley carb Actually, the kick up idle solenoid is an intriguing...

    Well, OK. My terminology is off........ Pistons are flat top w/4 valve indents, .028" below the deck. I indeed used 1.5 ratio rocker arms..........

    Another dieseling thread

    I do not have a tach as of yet, but I would gestimate the idle speed in neutral (manual tranny? to be 750-800rpms. The distributor is a new MSD, and the timing at shutdown is 12°. Is there something equivalent to the old dwell tack for HEI !!

    Maybe this has been flogged to death........... Just built my 355. Compression 10.1:1 initial timing 10° BTDC, but not sure what idle speed......... 87 octane fuel non-ethanol. I can idle the critter for 5 minutes and get some dieseling when I shut 'er down. No pinging when I rev it up, but have...

    Replacing fenders

    Had a great visit to AMD in Buford, Georgia. Paid our kids a visit and drove the 97 F150 (269K miles..) and picked up the 2 front fenders and 1 wheel house. Nice visit! (And 10% discount didn't hurt!) Thanks, AMD !!

    84 Tilt column shaft not out far enough

    Thanks! It tool a bit of persuasion, but I managed to coax the shaft back to length. Now, why does my steering wheel lock not function??

    84 Tilt column shaft not out far enough

    I purchased a tilt column for my 84 C10. When I received it, the shaft is pushed up into the bottom of the housing be over an inch... the hole for the cross bolt in inside the bearing at the bottom- not how it was pictured. Apparently the whole shebang has moved upwards inside the housing. Is...

    Header Installation

    As I have removed the inner and outer fenders,etc., it was EZ enough to prop the header up under the engine and reach down grab it, and snake it through the opening and into position. DONE !! Now, when my proper reducers arrive, I will fit up the exhaust.

    Can driver's side be done without jacking engine up?

    Whatizit-wiring edition

    Not it. Close,tho.... The harness comes out where you have a rubber plug just under your harness on the left side in the pic. I believe that I have figured out that it originally connected to the distributor, and the 12v power wire plugs into it. This supplies the distributor and voltage to the...

    Raining here too! Looks like it would plug into distributor cap and pink power lead plug into it. I can't imagine why.............. And, I can't find it on any schematic yet. But, is part of ESC harness along with 4 prong dist. plug,knock sensor wire,2 prong "tip in" vacuum switch and ground...

    This connector is on the harness that has the ESC 4-prong connector and the knock sensor terminal: Long enough to reach the distributor, but I don't believe that is where it connects......
