I'm sure this is a topic that has been beaten to death, but from past can experience, can anyone tell me what rear end gear ratio I may have if I am reading over 15-20mph at highway speeds? I have the factory 3-speed. I just bought a '65 and I'm trying to figure out all the mods to are...

I just replaced the wiring harness and the headlight switch. All the fuses checked out ok as well. The gauges won't light up at all. When I turn the headlights on, the interior clock dims and I can't adjust the level of brightness on it despite turning the headlight switch. Also this problem...

I don't mean to hijack the thread here... First, I agree with everyone about the TOB. I have a squealing sound that doesn't seem to change at all when pushing the clutch. It gets faster with the RPMs, but that's about it. It started before I had my clutch and throwout bearing replaced...

First time should be 1-2 days so block out a good Saturday and Sunday for it. Stay organized and label things. GOOD LUCK!

So there should be a hose connecting the oil fill neck to the upper intake?

I've read numerous times that excessive blow by is caused by too much pressure in the crank case and that relieving that pressure will help to minimize blow by. I guess my biggest question was that if I run a vacuum line from the oil-fill neck to the upper intake will it help to reduce the...

So I've looked at other threads on here and I've done some research on Google but my curiosity isn't entirely satisfied. I understand the cause of Oil Blow By and I also understand how to isolate where it's coming from. The only thing I can't figure out is how to prevent the problem on my car...

SURGING GONE!!! All it took was $600 on a new intake manifold. :cry: Don't worry though, the shop in Cincinnati that did my whole setup is going to get a nice letter with a receipt in it. Thanks for all of your help with this guys. I know I still have a leak somewhere because I'm only...

I just put the new gasket on and discovered a couple of things. A piece of my upper manifold was broken off in the back where a bolt hole is. My guess is that the race shop that installed it for me torqued the bolts down too hard and since it's made of aluminum, it couldn't handle the...

Would my e303 cam cause the vacuum system to run lower than a stock system? I know some EGR system components are located in the fender...My EGR has been disconnected and plugged as well as turned off in my computer tune. Will the components in the fender still play a role in this?

Green Sales Company in Cincinnati will find ANY part you need. They have every diagram of our cars you can imagine and are extremely knowledgeable.

Ok so I picked up a new gasket today but I didn't have all of my tools handy to get the job done. I did however throw some RTV sealant all over the area that I suspected and it doesn't appear to have fixed anything. I also picked up a vacuum tester and tested my lines at 3 different...

Jeg's has the Edelbrock gasket for $10 - I'm going to go pick one up tomorrow. Do you think if I just put some RTV sealant all along the where the gasket is that it could plug up whatever space there is? Do you think this could be the cause of my problem?

I think I may have found something...I heard what sounded like air coming out of a small hole behind my upper intake and I sprayed some carb cleaner back there and the car rev'd a little bit. After a bit of searching with my fingers to see if anything would change the sound, I think I've...

The new IAC should be here Friday. If that doesn't work, I've been planning on following the procedure you posted for resetting the idle on Saturday afternoon when I can devote a good chunk of time to it.

Sorry for any confusion...The car drives itself only when it is IN GEAR. If I push the clutch in, the RPMs hover around 2k on the tach. I did just learn something interesting though. Apparently there are different calibration codes for IACs on our cars. So the IAC I picked up from Advance...

I noticed the problem about three weeks ago. No changes to the car had been made prior to the car starting the problems. Several separate issues seemed to come up at the same time. 1) AC came through defroster - found the vacuum leak and fixed it 2) clutch started to squeal and slip - I had a...

Perhaps I was too hasty in returning the new IAC I bought a couple days ago? I didn't really give the computer time to reset by unplugging the battery. I also haven't checked the TPS yet. Do you think the TPS could be causing the surging?

So basically the code reader is worthless since I've had a chip burned? Am I just going to have to live with the surging idle at this point?

UPDATE - I installed the new IAC today. The surging idle is still there. At that point I just cleaned out the old IAC again since I had it off. I re-installed the old one and the problem appeared to be gone! The surging idle did occur again on my way back from returning the new IAC to the...
