    think it wil be ok

    You are going to step up the most radical change is the Head makes HP not the bore. So, technically you are going to pound the rods with 133K worth of wear on the caps is now cam that up too? Wear out my line bore is the cam is gonna rock in those worn out bearings. How does that cylinder wall...

    Starting problem

    If you are from, Seas Cause Cuss it's that was caused by the smelly factory air contaminants. Not really, but I think you may just have poor contacts is scrub to bare metal. Did you find that cause? If say you have a motor home (w/generator), it sits for awhile; the copper pickup bands around...

    Starting problem

    I think I mentioned I did not know the product. I've not been under a hood since 1993. What do you mean by a reference needing a, 'cylinder displacement'? Is not the 0-to-5V reference signal needed no matter the bore size? Not trying to argue. You just schooled me on the PIP. But the...

    I got banned

    Data is correct. Anyone willing to restore the english language is nose candy is take my candy for example is sour grapes; no one wants to read my chit tease is cause the proof is in the pudding. I'd like to see that car is he knew what he was doing and someone comes along and says, "Oh no, you...

    Rebuild or New

    ... Plus, you wasted all that money on the rebuild, you could have invested in the hardware you might probably resell once you rotate the race stock or what have you. I would not sent that money toward a rebuild when the 9 inch is penny wise is you are going to get it up the rear end no matter...

    Humming coming from under the hood

    Does it have a fan clutch? When they heat up, they do not make noise. But when it slow spins, it might have a bearing being it still rides in a shaft, so there as to be a bearing taking the load and chit. Heat related is could be as simple as a the belt. She heats up, she is quiet. She all...

    Starting problem

    Ah, you know, I do not know the product is more a generic answer is universal. So she is old throttle body? Then yes, first thing is fuel rail pressure or pressure out the fuel pump. Say she is average 44PSI is give or take is somewhat average pressure to start. Next is: What was the last good...

    Hummmmm, sat for months is a clogged idle jet or low speed circuit brings no fuel to start be it cold or hot is no fuel.... So you keep throwing a pedal at it or say the accel pump squirts enough in so it fires off and now it pulls fuel from other sources is fill that void no matter WOT. That...

    where to get MAF snsor calibrated

    1+ :nice: As long as the MAF is within spec so the ECM has that voltage signal, it is a bolt on unit as if you changed the knock sensor or water temp sensor. She is built-in is do not get snowed buy someone saying your MAF needs their dyno to correct your water temp sensor... Get it?

    Starting point for resto

    I see those 2-4bl and all that rear wheel break loose is to have something tight and precise that can steer out of it. That is a beautiful restore. zookeep. That is one reason I would start with the chassis first. You are correct, holzj. My neighbor welded on a Mustang II on his Nova. It has a...

    Picking the right Heads??

    You want documented flow charts on a head is what I would look for. You can port the head, but if the port is not flowing like the others, or close to it, you are gonna be all erratic on the performance. You have someone with a porting tool that hogs out the hole is once the air hits that open...

    Problem

    You want to pull that pumpkin cover off, contact clean all the settlement in the axle housing. If you just drain it, that will be picked up with the new oil tumbling when warmed; you are wearing your rear end out with new oil is think like that.... Forget the easy drain cover, IMO.

    Starting point for resto

    You start with the steering and Moog parts is NAPA some ball joints, wheel bearings make new too. You have to steer it first is that is more safety than restore. Once you square away the suspension, steering and drive train, you can start with the wiring, the engine, the body, paint, interior...

    Cut heads .025 thousandths...do I need different pushrods?

    It is going to be a pain, but now how much is left from the squish to the top of the ring? That should be about .150 thousands so you do not cook or warp the ring. Now that you took off .025" for the warp, that is less material for heat-transfer is they sure made the head light is not enough...

    Need a lil info

    Just to bail out the other guy... You are going to make more HP with for argument sake, a 5/20w than a 10/30w. Thinner the oil, less friction. Once oil pressure is set, no engine cares what lube is in it.. You gonna argue wit BS is prove me wrong is prove that guy wrong is gonna beat you down...

    Lean Problem

    Good question. I would think the lean at the rear 02 would richen the metering up if there was a lean condition. Usually a lean at a vacuum leak would stall the engine. That means; each cylinder would receive that same lean suck being the lean or vacuum leak would affect each cycle trying to...

    confusing electrical problem

    Did you hook the toggle's ground to a bunch of ground wires? They sorta ping a certain voltage value is the ground completes the circuit. So, you use a ground box or J-box (junction of wires all connected), you can send the other J-box that does not use the first J-box is you take your toggle...
