want to adjust module on my 1966 289 C Code I know how it works but because of crossmember adjacent to module( not jacking car up) I can remove hose but cann't get angle with my screw driver.Trans shop who changed fluid and did some adjustments said hammer a wire coat hanger flat and use it...

When I bought car(66 289 C code C4) I checked timming and it was at 0 BTDC relized a month latter vacuum adv. module was ruptured so replaced unit. So I advanced initial to 6 degrees BTDC but did not check total advace @ 3000 RPM,s. My question is if vacuum advance adds 10 degrees and...

Have a 289 C-Code 2V a month ago adjusted static timming from 10 degree to 8 degree's BTDC this was done because I ran out of idle adjustment. Forgot about offsets to dwell so when I test drove it backfired thru carb under moderate load. Went home and rechecked dwell and was out of spec. Then...

Set my 2100 carb. wet float level per specs. runs much better but my question is--after shut down and car sits for a while I rechecked level and it dropped an 1/8th." restarted up rechecked and back up to correct level.Is gas flowing backwards for a second until neddle seats(new needle/seat) or...

After losing fuel out of my float bowl after long non op times, thought I'd change the power valve. Read where they can get ruptured and seep gas into intake. The new one from Napa was the same diameter but the opening exposing the diaphragm was bigger? Maybe it doesn't matter but thought I'd...
