heads are where the power is made. I would check them and see what you have. Vortec heads would be a good option. Yes if the cam wasnt degreed then that can be a major problem for power

I wouldnt worry about the added weight. We run a 468 mustang and we have to have a cage, harness, and a bunch of other safety stuff in it and that adds weight but also adds safety. I am always happy to error on the safety side. There is nothing like going through the 1/4 mile trap and put the...

While you have the heads off, I would have the heads checks and the valves done along with the seals. It isnt that much and it would be a shame to have to pull the heads later because of a bad valve, seals or springs. If it has been sitting that long I would definately do valve seals and have...

I dont know about there, but here we have ethanol added to our gas. If you have the same thing then I would look closely at the carb as ethanol eats up the old style seals, gaskets and the accelerator pump. I rebuilt the carb on the 87 because the accelerator pump was eaten up. Once it was...

I would recommend also installing a return line if there is not one already

the resistor block is usually mounted with 2 screw to the heater box. Sometimes under the hood but I think in your case it is behind the glove box. It is about 2"x3".

has this always been a problem or is this just a new problem? Go back to the basics and check, wires, cap, distributor. Advance the timing slightly and see if that makes a difference. It make make it worse. If it does, retard it a little. Who knows if the cam was degreed in or not or what...

I have had up to 30 people working for me at one time. And yes some of them leave and I am glad to see them go. But I have also had some that I have kept. I think that the best way to approach this situation is very simple and straight forward. Speak to your boss in private. You must...

Are you sure that the a/c is actually full? In most cases there is a sight glass and if there is air bubbles passing the sight glass it needs more freon. You can also check that the a/c will start by shorting out the plug. If it engages when shorted then it is low on freon. Dont know what car...

if it is a 1/4 mile car, you may want to check and see what the requirements are. When we run welds and slicks we have to have 2 inches of exposed studs to pass teck

You can see the number stamped in the vertical section just in front of the choke butterfly. Look at pic 3 To bad pic 2 wasnt take showing more of the top of the carb as that is where the number is. If it has been sitting for a while it may be that the float is stuck.

You can get a little test kit (most automotive stores carry it) that you put where your rad cap goes. You add a blue liquid into the holder and and it usually will tell you if you have a head gasket leak. The blue liquid will turn yellow. From what you have said, I personally dont think you...

Take some time and do some reading on how to adjust the tcv cable. That is about the most important part when you are installing the transmission.

I never spent any time in the army or armed forces. Like most I have or had friends that did. For those of you that did please COPY AND PASTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s96DJD62J0M this into youtube and listen. It was written and sang by my brother and is for you. Please keep in mind...

I am glad that some here feel that they are experts and dont realize that others dont know everything. I was taught, and have taught my kids that if you dont know then the best thing is to ask. There is no shame in not knowing, but if you dont ask then it is your fault for no knowing. I guess...

try reversing the wires

SORRY I never read that part of the post. Put a digital timing light on the motor, start it, rev it to where it starts to bog or miss and read the degrees. Then rev it farther until it cleans up and read those numbers. I would be interested in that info

I havent been following this, so please excuse the question What motor is it and what distributor are you using

From experience, what matters more than the hp is can you hook it up. You can have 1000hp but if you cant stick it to the track it is going to be a lot slower than it should me. It might look impressive but thats all.Get someone if you dont know how to do it, or spend time reading how do to it...

There was never a ecm in a 65 nova. The 200r4 doesnt need and ecm. All it needs is to know when to lock up based on the vac and the 12 power to do it. When the power is dropped the convertor unlocks. Nothing hi teck here, very basic. The only reason I suggested an adjustable vac switch is so...
