    Strong fuel smell after a drive in the heat of summer.

    Hello Gents, Ladies.... What solutions are there for keeping the odors down from the fuel return and vent lines. I am not using them because I have eliminated the canister and the pump only has one line running to it. Rubber plugs dont seem to last very long. any ideas? Thanks! Bill

    How to wire up an electric choke

    I think you may have it backwards......Oil pressure switches are normally open....and only CLOSE with pressure, in most cases. That is the only way this set up will work for an electric choke. In my book....open means no current flow...closed means voltage....your results may vary...o_O Ok...I...

    How to wire up an electric choke

    Umm....not sure I follow what you mean....Wait.. You are saying that the voltage isnt coming from the key switch, but from someplace else? Yeah...I got that much, but if the switch is normally open, no voltage should be getting to the other terminals from the alternator wire except when there is...

    How to wire up an electric choke

    update.....I have installed the oil pressure switch that Joe recommended. However, when I hook up the oil pressure warning light wire to the center terminal on the OPS, it stays on when the ignition is off and goes off when the motor is running. Any explanation as to why? The choke heats up fine...

    What color looks best on a 81 to 88 G Body Olds

    I have a thing for metallic colors, gold, bronze, silver, etc. But the stock color combos on most of the Gbody's were pretty good. I think the vinyl roof cars look better in some colors than the hard tops...as you can see, im a bit biased...lol Just curious...doesnt anybody know the name of...

    Fuel filter maybe?

    If you live in very cold climate...you may have icing in the fuel line/carb/tank...etc. If the problem goes away when its fairly warm outside, that would be my guess. Like pencero said, its not a big deal to change out the filter to answer the question. If it runs ok once its warmed up, Id say...

    getting hot and cold air

    What happens when you move the mode switch? If nothing changes, then the cable has come loose or the door is broken. Try to google the heat/ac system for your ride and see what images you can come up with. Chances are, you will see a diagram of the system and where to look for the door(s). Good...

    Self driving cars.

    The "freedom" to drive when, where, why and how we wish is the root of the issue, just like the freedom of choice to wear a helmet or a seat belt...and once big brother has determined that what you choose could cost insurance companies more money, they usually make a law or mandate a technology...

    blower motor switch issue

    Turn the ignition on, turn the blower motor switch on HIGH, and then switch the selector from off to on and repeat....and listen for a clicking noise under the hood. That noise is the relay switching on and off. If you hear it, its good. If ya dont, its bad. Good luck! Edit....if you have...

    87 Olds 307 questions

    Extreme pressure usually causes hoses to blow off....and blown head gaskets are the usual culprit for that. Or, somebody used plain water instead of antifreeze and there was a leak or low water level, which can cause steaming inside the engine/radiator/hoses, etc. Sounds to me like theres not...

    Self driving cars.

    Umm....no reason to worry about this happening anytime soon...why?...because the insurance companies would be out of business in 10yrs due to the accident rates and claims dropping to next to nothing, so they would be forced to lower rates, and they dont wanna do that. Obama taking your freedom...

    Self driving cars.

    Well, personally...I have to say that the idea of giving up control of the car to a computer sounds pretty horrific. However, the lack of attention that many drivers are paying these days is also becoming pretty scary as well. In time, most people will have little fear of being driven around by...
