The run is not being caused by the idle speed. The idle speed is a symptom that something else is wrong. Wouldn't it make more sense to find the source of the problem and fix that??

If your engine is basically stock and has given you no trouble at lower altitude, there are a couple of other things you might want to look at. First is fuel mix. If the air fuel mixture is even a little lean, taking the vehicle to altitude can introduce overheating issues by leaning the mix...

Moroso was started in 1968 by Dick Moroso, one of the most successful modified production drag racers on record. Dick left his racing career to design, test and manufacture specialized products aimed exclusively at racer's needs. The performance world quickly recognized that Moroso products were...

Your car is very nice. I like t he way it sits. I have a 79 in black and really like the body style.

I replaced the master cylinder in my 65 GTO years ago and even though the numbers for the master cylinder matched my application I ended up with squishy pedal. Long story short, it turned out the piston travel in the new master cylinder was shorter than the one that came off t he car. Brought it...

Cars used to have two components, the generator and the voltage regulator that supplied regulated power to the car to run the electrical systems and to keep the battery charged. At some point in the dim and distant past, early sixties I think, they combined the two components into what is now...

How long does it take for the battery to drain to where the car won' start? A long time, look for a small short, dome lite issue, etc. Sort time less than one day, look for a bigger issue. If you have something aftermarket connect to the fuse panel, start there. Some fuse panel circuits are...

Welcome. Bench seat with a stick, I like it!!

I had to change mine once and used a line wrench socket I bought in a Kobalt set from Lowes. I can dig them out and take a pic if you need.

Almost forgot. The slack in the push-rod should not be there if you you are running hydraulic lifters. First thing to do is look at the tops of all of your rocker studs. They should all be about the same height and should have pretty close to the same number of threads showing above the...

WC, Most of what I know about tools and cars I had to learn the hard way. I didn't have a car guru as a mentor till I was almost 40. What I am putting in here you may already know. I'm not trying to be a know it all or talking to you like you are ignorant. I don't know what you know and on many...

I'm glad. Now go raise hell with the Dana.

OK so this is gonna sound a little "out there" but it happened to me about 15 years ago. I had a 68 Camero hard top with a respectable 355/ Muncie T21(?) in it. Changed the clutch after having it for about a year and when I put it back on the road, it would get this little vibration that started...

WC, a couple of things. If you don't fix the manifold leaks first, any adjustments you make will be tuning the motor to the leak. If the leaks are bad enough it's going to make your afr very unpredictable whenever you change from one static condition to the next. Probably why your afr spiked to...

That's a really sano wagon you have!

I agree with pontiacgp, a lot of people treat low gas mileage as the Holy Grail of driving a car. Some people really don't think of a car as anything more than a way to get from point a to point b. Then there are those of us who find the act of putting together something unique to who we are and...

There is nothing wrong with a two bolt. I have made almost 4oo hp and 413 ft/lb torque in a well put together two bolt. They ain't makin anything cheap anymore. I would keep it, if it's in decent shape.

I was reading a post a couple of days ago about someone removing weight from their G-Body to drop et. It occurred to me that there is no easy way to figure out how much your et would change based on the weight you removed. So using the calculations to figure et from vehicle weight and hp, I put...

I think that the economy is going to be good for the "little guy" over the next few years. It would be a shame to have put in all the sweat and then quit when the chance to make some money finally arrives. If you hung on through Obama, why not hang in a little longer and see how the economy does...

My second car was a 65 GTO with a 389, three deuce setup. I wanted to keep the car numbers matching but for a putz who didn't know squat about motors, keeping the three deuces running right was beyond me. Also, EVERYBODY in my neighborhood was running BBCs. I was complaining to the guy who...
