just curious,since he has the 4.1 how much would it generally cost to do a turbo package as opposed to throwing in a new engine as well as all the accoutrements?first thought logic says probably more but ive never really thought the numbers through.i do know that that 4.1 block is pretty sought...

id think thats a short one just from guessing.i think you just have to measure the snout length?

huh thats weird maybe all they have is obd2 scanners now but the way cannon mutant posted a page ago is very easy,just locate the aldl connector and insert a paperclip between the a and be terminals then put your ignition into the run position,dont start the car.then observe the check engine...

i cant really think of anything that would result in a rougher idle from a radiator exchange...possibly pinched or open carbon canister line to the carb or pinched/bent fuel line?possibly not torqued properly or off balance fan blade?i guess that would present itself as more of a terrible noise...

going with everyone elses recommendation though get the codes read for sure just so you know what your working with,any auto parts chain stores does it for free.if any part of the ccc system is bad the entire system runs pig rich as a early form of limp mode i think

for an olds 307 without a dwell meter i have found 2 and 3/4 turns out from bottomed on the m/c solenoid to be pretty ideal and puts your right at 30 to 32 degrees dwell on the 6 cylinder scale.tps should be checked with a multimeter with the black lead on the battery negative and postive probed...

rebuilding my 200-4r yet again,got a bad intermediate band off ebay the anchor snapped right off >.<. anyway on tear down i noticed my direct drum had some wear on the slots the tangs of the sun shell engages,looks kinda bad to me but im not an expert.uploading a few pics of what i mean,two pics...

a few things,you mention you have a 200-4r in the car so im assuming it once had the computer controlled setup via the electronic quadrajet and distributor.did you reuse the original distributor?if you took it off the computer yet are still using it it will run like crap possibly to the point of...

if the keepers are stuck a quick rap with a ball peen hammer does the trick.not entirely recommended but you can also release the valves by putting the heads up on two pieces of wood on both sides,getting a socket the size of the valve retainer and giving them a good tap with a hammer.you need...

being a 78 im assuming it has a th350 or 325 with a torque converter.could it be stuck in engagement?or check its wiring,should be a vac switch somewhere as well as a vac line

on the frame towards the rear of the engine is also usually a brake pressure switch that has a tan wire,another brown goes to the underhood lamp i think

go to junkyard and grab one or go ebay and get an original the aftermarket one i bought went bad within 2 months from rain water seeping down through the mast fixture and into the cheaply made and poorly sealed main body

i was making a diagram but didnt turn out right for whate ever reason.anyway from the front passenger side of the engine the cylinders are 2 4 6 and 8,front of drivers side are 1 3 5 7.the way the factory distributor was set up was the two rear posts were 1 and 8,1 being on the drivers side and...

in lieu of a dial backtiming light clean your balancer well then make a makeshift timing tape.have it start at the zero mark on the timing pointer and run the tape clockwise down the balancer.now make white out marks at say the 30,36 and 50 degrees going clockwise so when you read with a normal...

i stand corrected,lol as i said im no wizz and this is good to know for future projects.thanks for clearing it up for me

i was under the understanding aluminum wouldnt create a solid ground because of its alloys.if im wrong no argument from me,just all older engines and most newer ones arnt grounded at aluminum they are usually on a cast iron piece somewhere,be it a bolt and nut combination or a grounding strap...

just for sh*ts and giggles could you provide a picture of your radios wiring harness and how you have it all hooked up?did you go with an adapter or just cut and run wires?ive had happen what you speak of and i think it was either a ground issue where i may have grounded all the speaker wires to...

i guess it is made by mr.gasket but this is the one i have https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/mr--gasket-4367/accessories-16449/chrome---dress-up-16531/valve-covers-16832/crankcase-breathers-17853/valve-cover-breather/2054/4513799/1999/buick/regal

its alittle...ghetto to speak bluntly but get a normal sized grommet for the hole then insert a piece of tubing the size of the pcv valve.if you get really ocd with it you can make it sit almost flush.otherwise hit up a junkyard or ebay,but aside from those options...well possibly napa they have...

i dont know too terribly much of the chevy ccc system,i know your gonna need the map sensor hooked back up and not sure if its required but the esc sensor as well as 02 sensor and i think to run correctly it needs the egr in place hooked up through the solenoid assembly.do you have the anti...
