Had the valve covers off, rockers are all loose, so either they are not properly adjusted hydraulic lifters or its got solid lifter cam. Short of taking intake off and taking out a lifter, how can I figure out whats going on.Engine is a 350 86 or newer one piece rear seal. Thats all I know...

Just want to make sure I won't wreck anything. Thanks !

Removed heater, do I need to run a short hose from waterpump to intake or can i just plug the holes?

Decided not to put the Elcamino on the street but to use it as a race car instead,since the dragway is only about 5 miles away from my house and I never raced before and its about time I started. Got a couple questions. Would it be ok to mount the battery in the little cubby behind the seats...

Edelbrock performer is very reliable and easy to adjust.

no, not original. Its a 350 chevy, just wondering why the fuel pump mount is not like they normally are, as in non functional.

I got the same problem. Depends on what you are going to use the car for. If you have air ,cruise,etc. and going to keep it , I would try to rerout and hide stuff as much as possible and and use wire covers etc. to clean things up. I am not using mine as a daily driver or care about a/c and all...

I am wondering about the block in my El Camino,supposed to be a 350, the fuel pump mounting base has only one threaded hole and no hole into the engine like the old blocks have. I can't see any casting numbers since its in the car. Is this a newer block with fuel injection or what. Any answers...

Well,got it running again. Put in some new NGK plugs,and it started right up. Ran it and drove it around for a bit. Started again next day no problem. who can figure that out. At least now I could drive it into its winter storage portable garage and not have to push it across the yard...

When i first got the engine started with the new plugs I had put all the old parts back on it,cap,coil,module etc. after it was running and i drove it I changed it back over to the summit stuff. I started Up and ran ok. Then next day it wouldn,t start again. The summit stuff ran great on my old...

The old plugs that were in it looked clean and in good shape,thats why I never replaced them until i figured out they were not firing. The new plugs look good and tonight when I checked for spark they were dry,no flooding,so they should have worked but didn't. Once I saw a tiny spark,but it went...

i think they are r44 heavy duty ac delco truck. the engine is fairly stock 350 with summit coil and module and the summit street/strip wires.

So after I figured out the plugs were bad on the El Camino, and finally got it started,it ran for a bit.Drove it down the road and it seemed to be missing or something already. Now the new plugs seem to be no good already,tried one ,no spark,tried one from something else and it has a spark. How...

The plugs looked like they were almost new,thats why I didn't think that they would be the problem.I finally took one over to my 65 chevy truck and tried it,NO spark. So I tried one from the truck on the EL Camino,it had Spark. Anyways, I got a new pcv breather cap on it and put all the new...

Well ,I got it running . All that was wrong was the plugs. Never knew that that many plugs could go bad at the same time.All those hours of work and all it was was $20 worth of plugs.Sometimes I am such an idiot. Note to self, change the plugs first. Good news is the transmission that I just...

Distributor was out 180 degrees,how did that happen.Anyways I straightened that out,tried to start it and no spark again.So maybe there is nothing wrong with the summit coil.I put the old module back in, checked that there is power to the distr. and fidled with the connectors for a bit,still no...

I changed the weights and springs,and the vacuum advance unit on which I don't see where to adjust it. I will check out the other stuff tonight . Thanks

Got a HEI upgrade kit from Summit, Summit brand. Coil already gave up after starting motor a couple of times. No spark.Replaced old coil. Engine runs like crap,like its not firing on all cylinders.Can the new module be crap too,or would it not run at all if it has something wrong with it. Harald

HI. Welcome. Did you check the brake bias valve, thats about the only thing left in the system.Its down below the booster on the frame. Maybe something is stuck and it won't build any pressure.Thats all I can think of. Harald

My Elcy is silver and has satin black along the bottom sides,curving over the wheel opening,with a 1/4" pin stripe along the edge,plus one wide stripe on the hood the width of the grill with the pin stripe on each side. And I painted the grill flat black with just the chrome edge around it...
